Saved my life

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.

Reputation for a Reason

I’d heard of Joel Kent for years. He has a reputation for being the best in town. I’d even heard (not sure if it’s true) of people retaining him just in case they ended up getting divorced, partially because they didn’t want to have Joel hired against them. After an extremely exhausting and contentio...us separation lasting over a year, with minimal progress toward divorce, I hired Joel. Right away he asked what my priorities were and how he could help, then quickly and efficiently executed the plan. He let me know I had two options: one, trust him and let him guide me through the process, or two, I could tell him how I’d like to proceed, as he was working for me. I went with option one, knowing he had my best interest in mind. Joel is very intelligent and experienced. I was regularly impressed with the professionalism from his firm. Everyone down to the receptionist and his assistants were highly responsive and knowledgeable. I’m grateful for all of them and happy to be able to move forward. Highly recommend.

I truly felt like I was represented by the best possible divorce attorney in the area

Joel and Kyle helped me through a long and messy divorce. I never questioned their advice as it was obvious there were years of experience there. Joel would think outside the box to get me results. He also made it clear he cared about my pocketbook and would suggest to let his co-worker( at a lower r...ate) help me with the easier tasks. They are busy lawyers but I always felt like I was a priority and the communication was impecible. I would highly recommend Joel and his team. In fact, I wouldn't even consider going elsewhere. You don't want your soon to be EX to hire him!

I'm not sure what I would have done without Joel and his supportive staff. Divorce is hard, but from an extremely contentious, disordered person, it is scary, revealing and traumatizing during a time when one needs to think clearly. Joel is obviously familiar with reading the disordered and thankfull...y would not be drawn into nor drained from the drama (as I was), but rather prevailed with the facts. I was super impressed with his extensive, comprehensive knowledge and experience in understanding financials, accounting, tracking money and understanding small business strategies and valuations. This is NOT an area I am at all well versed and so appreciated his knowledge as it was over my head. Though it was a long and arduous process, it was clear that he had tried and true strategies in place from so much past and variable experience that it gave me confidence. He also kept me apprised as to what was realistic and what was not realistic in relation to family law within the confines of this particular state's laws. He also accurately represented the voices of my children in what they wanted for an outcome regarding parenting time and custody. It was a difficult angle for the law in this state, but he made their voices legally heard and respected by the courts. He has a support staff that complements his skills and supports his work well. I observed them learning and benefiting from his experience and vice versa. They are a great team. I would highly recommend Joel and his staff for a positive outcome. I can't imagine anyone being more familiar, experienced and understanding of the (family/divorce) law in this state. My children and I will be forever grateful he was on our side of the table. Thank you. P.S. And, he looks just like Mitchell Pritchard on the sitcom Modern Family! (but is a much better attorney than Mitchell). :-)

Divorce

Joel's firm came highly recommended from numerous friends and business acquaintances. I knew right away during the consultation I was going to be in good hands. Joel was my lead attorney and handled my case with the utmost importance, knowledge and efficiency. I was so thankful to be able to call ...him anytime 24/7. In my case, there was a lot of strategies involved and I needed a numbers guy. Joel was genuinely concerned about the outcome and my welfare one hundred percent. Joel's firm handles everything! His assistant attorney Beau was at my beck and call literally, I called him more than my own Mother. The entire staff was also very efficient and considerate. I told everyone, I am going to be well taken care of, I just hired the "Dream Team". I am happy to say Joel and his staff lived up to their nick name. I am very satisfied with the final result.
