I was charged selling coke and thought I was going to be hit with the hardest charges possible and Mr.Kent got me on probation with no jail time and the ability to reduce my charge from a felony to a misdemeanor! Couldn't have asked for a better result. Would highly recommend.
This 5-star review is way past due. I believe it was back in 2001 when I first got myself into quite a bit of trouble, they were charging me with multiple felonies. This was out of North Court they were trying to give me three years in State prison, I ended up doing community service... About eight years later again I forgot how to act right in ended up in another bad situation legally. This time it was with drugs and burglaries and I did the minimal amount of time legally possible I think it was 6 months. Honestly it should have been way more.... Let's skip forward to around 2015 where I decided to get so drunk that I don't even remember driving. Ended up crashing off the side of the road took out two trees and shove my Mercedes through a front of a building. At that point I decided I should flee. I got caught so this was a DUI hit-and-run. I ended up doing a program called the most program out of Santa Ana which was not an easy program to get through unless you were totally committed to being sober but I pulled it off and it's zero jail time again. Thank you Jeff you are the man sorry this took so long to be left for you hope you're doing well.
Jeff is always going the extra mile for his clients. He is truly a master in his field. I wish I never needed him but when I did, I'm glad he was there. Thank you, Jeff.
My son was charged with a DUI Felony and things looked very grim. By the grace of God, an attorney friend referred me to Jeff Kent and all I can say that he was a God-send. Jeff worked tirelessly for nearly a year amidst the COVID crisis and much to our surprise he was able to get the charges down to a misdemeanor with unsupervised probation. It was absolutely a miracle. As a mother of an adult child, Jeff still graciously kept me in the loop answering my every question and easing my fears along the way. I 100% recommend Jeff if you find yourself in an unfortunate circumstance. The peace of mind I had working with him was immeasurable.
Jeff, went above and beyond my expectations for my case. I didn’t expect such a great outcomes. Jeff was patient, kept his words and was very understanding. He answered all of my questions, even when I ask them several times. I highly recommend him as attorney.
Jeff and his firm did a great job with my case. Jeff is professional and very connected with those at the courthouse. He knows how to get the end result that you want. Jeff communicated with me at every step, and we ended up getting to where I wanted to be in the end. Thanks to Jeff!
Simply stated, without a doubt, I would hire Jeff Kent as my legal representation again. Additionally, I would highly recommend Mr.Kent to any family member or friend who may unfortunately find themselves in any type of criminal law situation. Through out my life, I had never been involved in any sort of legal issues. Unfortunately, I was going through a rough patch in my life and made a decision that could have severely altered the course of my life. Having zero encounters with the judicial system, you can imagine how daunting, stressful and overwhelming the whole ordeal was for me. Thus, given the severity of my situation dui w/accident, I knew that I need superb legal representation or else I might be looking at severe punishment and possible incarceration. Therefore, for weeks I did my diligent research through Avvo, Google and Yelp, I even conducted multiple in-person consultation with various attorneys in both LA and Orange County. It is your freedom on the line, you should conduct in-person consultations. I was almost set on an attorney, who I didn’t feel so confident about, when a close friend of mind recommended that I give Jeff Kent a call. I am very glad that I did! You know that feeling you get when you made the right choice that’s exactly how I felt after my in-person consultation with Jeff. He was very professional, understanding, and didn’t just want me to sign the contract like a few other attorneys did. He sincerely wants you to feel confident in choosing him as your legal counsel as you should since you’ll be working with him throughout your case. From there on he has been nothing but superb. Mr.Kent was able to reduce the charges in the case and through his exceptional knowledge and mitigation skills, he got the court to grant me a military diversion program. Ultimately, I cannot praise Jeff’s professionalism enough. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to criminal law, skillful in the intangible lawyer skills need for mitigation, always respectful towards me, responds quickly through various communication methods, and I truly believe that he wants the best outcome for his clients. He is everything that you want, need and look for in a top-quality attorney. No one really plans on getting in any legal issues, but I will always have Jeff’s phone number handy just Incase.
Jeffery Kent I was very fortunate to have Jeffrey D Kent as my Defense Attorney. My DUI case was very complicated and without Jeffrey D Kent things absolutely would have been much, much worse. I believe being a defense attorney is definitely one of the most complicated professions there is. Jeffrey D Kent is a very gifted and talented defense attorney. I’m very grateful for all the things Jeffrey D Kent accomplished in my very difficult case. I know that without all the things that Jeff accomplished for me, I wouldn’t be able to be writing this letter of gratitude. THANK YOU SINCERELY Mr. Jeffrey D Kent.
Jeffrey is a true professional and honest attorney which is hard to find these days. He is a straight shooter and gets the job done. I was in a legal trouble which could have consequences, but Jeffrey was able to keep my case from being filed. I am grateful to have found him and will recommend him to anyone needing representation.
After being robbed with another attorney that did absolutely nothing for my case. We searched up lawyers on yelp and came upon Jeff Kent. We saw the excellent reviews and stars from previous customers and decided to talk to him as well as other lawyers we had already talked to. Immediately Jeff made me feel like he knew what he was doing and that he would definitely be able to help me. He is very professional and knows so much about the system. He closed my case successfully and I am so great full to have found him and not have to step foot Into to prison. I would definitely go to him for any other case I need and will surely recommend him to anyone I know that needs of his assistance.
