Joel J Kent

Joel Kent was part of the team I hired from Stahancyk Kent & Hook that ruined my life and lied to me several times. Not only did they ruin my life and lie to me, I was forced to argue with them to encourage them to protect my children, which I did. Despite having to argue and show proof that my child...ren were in grave danger, they did NOTHING to help and made matters MUCH worse. If you're interested in paying money to legal representatives to ruin your life and severely put your children in harms way, hire Stahancyk Kent & Hook. I can prove all of the lies and severe damage if necessary. Please ask. Don't engage Stahancyk Kent & Hook unless you are interested in paying a firm to ruin you life. My complaints and associated evidence are repeatedly ignored.

I worked through a very difficult 2-year divorce, which resulted in trial. The managed, responsible, respectable, strategic and caring approach Joel, his team and broader firm demonstrated throughout the process, was absolutely incredible. I have never felt so confident or safe in what was a very dif...ficult situation. He was fair, honest and upstanding during every step, and held me to these same standards. Joel's approach was methodical, steady and determined, and the outcome reflected that. I can't thank him enough. I have extremely high regard for Joel as a professional, as well as being a great person and pillar in the community. Much thanks to Joel, his partners and great team for helping me move forward in the best possible way. Wish there was a ten star option...he is that good.

Joel Kent is hands down the best divorce lawyer in Oregon. If you hire Joel, listen to him and follow his lead. Joel will have your best interest and the best interest of kids in mind. Logical and honest. Professional, organized, has the best team and knows the law. Highly, highly recommend. Joel cro...sses every "t" and dots every "i" and saved my financial life.

I knew my divorce was going to be difficult and drag out. I interviewed 4 lawyers and knew I would be in good hands with Joel. I liked his direct approach, his organization, his creative and out of the box thinking, his staff's organization.......they are a well oiled machine. When going through divo...rce for the first time....you don't know what you don't know and it's critical to have representation that can guide you through this process and obtain the best results possible. Joel has the knowledge, expertise and confidence that you want in a lawyer to maneuver through this unchartered, emotional territory. He is excellent at setting expectations of the process and potential outcome - this comes with his experience. Unfortunately, my divorce ended up in a private trail after 3 failed mediations. The amount of preparation Joel and his team did to prepare for trail was very impressive, the organization was more impressive and watching Joel in trail was awesome. I was so proud to have him as my lawyer. He was prepared, aggressive but not too aggressive, incredibly professional, his timing on facts was perfect and his closing argument was stellar! All credit goes to Joel and Kyle for the results of my final judgement and their top notch representation. Thank you Joel!

I was able to obtain custody of my son AND relocate for a job thanks to Joel and his team. He is amazingly efficient, strategic, and reasonable with the case he put forth on my behalf. It was always a pleasure to work with Joel and he knew what to say to help me understand the process and what to exp...ect next.
