Hired Attorney Jeffrey Donald Kent

Answered all my questions during free consultation. Biggest factor is the follow through on his word which is rare. He knows the Fullerton courts “well”. Promised me he is the best possible “outcome” for my case. No guarantees as any attorney that guarantees is not trustworthy. He over delivered. He does not allow any paralegals or interns etc handle your case. He is in direct contact (extremely rare with a resume of his stature) with you. Allowed me to relax and not stress so much in this difficult time I had. This was very comforting as we know the legal process just takes a long time. Highly recommended.

You're a fool to go to court without Jeffrey Kent. He is worth every every penny of his retainer, you'll be hiring the BEST! He kept me out of jail. If you are considering counsel, I highly recommend Jeff Kent for his knowledgeable expertise in criminal defense. He is counsel you can count on, if you want "muscle" in the courtroom. I have been a client with Jeff for almost 10 years and he has advised me through several arrests and court appearances. Every incident, Jeff was there to guide me through my mistakes and get me back on track. Even when I became angry at the system and lashed out at him, Jeff knew what was best for me in the courtroom. Recently, he orchestrated a plea I would never have been offered, if someone else was representing me. I should have ended up serving time in jail, but Jeff's skill and ability to navigate the courtroom saved me. He is far superior to his counterparts and his rapport with court officers is exceptional. Don't go to court without him!

Jeff is caring and knowledgable. I was facing a few years and a felony. I now have a class for 90 days and then a dismissal. Thank God for him.
