Kent went the extra mile always keeping us informed and doing what it took to win our case.

I would, and have recommended Kent Thorsted to friends and family members. I was most impressed with Kent's medical knowledge. When he handled my case against a doctor, his main concern was not only that I be compensated but that I also see the best doctors in the Pacific Northwest to evaluate my sit...uation. To many attorneys the bottom line is the dollar but Kent showed equal interest in helping me find someone who could better my quality of life as well. He was honest, compassionate, and very impressive regarding keeping me informed on how the case was moving along. His dedication to his profession is unsurpassed and he was always straight forward with me. Never making impossible promises yet making me feel I would be compensated fairly. I was so impressed with him when my son was in an accident Kent was the person we wanted on our side. Without writing my son's review, I can say Kent literally saved my son's life and gave him hope for the future.
