About

As a former prosecutor who worked in all ares of the State's Attorneys Office for 13 years, I have a very rounded knowledge of the criminal justice system. I've worked with thousands of police officers over the course of my career, and feel that I know what they look for when they investigate and arrest defendants. The best way to know how to win a criminal case is to know what the State needs to prove in order to win the case. I prosecuted every type of case, from traffic tickets to first degree murder. That is excactly why I am skilled at defending all types of criminal cases.

Definitely would recommend Scott. Did a fantastic job with my case - got it dismissed. Very responsive and encouraging. Felt confident with him on my side. Will always go to him for any legal need.

I was in a bind and needed help from a lawyer. I called many lawyers, even some who were recommended, only to be told that the charge I had could not be lowered. I called Scott and he immediately called the prosecutor and I had the court date within a week. Scott reassured me that it would all be taken care of and it was. Don't waste your time calling anyone else if you need help. Scott will make you feel at ease and he will get the job done for you.

I've never reviewed anyone on line before because I never felt it was necessary, until I met Scott Kent. Scott far surpassed my expectations. I found Scott to be exceedingly competent and professional. I was extremely impressed with the high level of skill and experience he demonstrated in handling my case. Scott took the terrible situation that I was in, and turned it completely around 180. Again, far exceeded my expectations, easy to contact, reliable, and great to work with.

Scott represented me in 2018 for driving on a revoked license. I was in the wrong and with Illinois Law after the third conviction there is a mandatory sentence of 6 months first Offence was driving on an expired BAID device due to my review was delayed. The second offence was speeding going to the Hospital while the passenger of the owner of the car was injured. Both of these offences was my fault knowing that it was illegal to operate a vehicle. On the 3rd Scott Kent represented me over a 7 month time frame. We rescheduled the court date 3 times and on teh 4th time he was able to negotiate from a 6 month time frame of jail to a 1 month time frame. This 30 day of incarceration will allow me to save my job and house. I thank Scott Kent for helping me. Jim

This was my first encounter with the criminal justice system. Scott walked us through what was going to happen and what was the best, second and least desirable outcomes. With his help we obtained the best result. It was clear that he knows the process and how to handle clients.

Scott Kent did a fantastic job with my case! He was always knowledgeable and professional. Anything i did not understand, he took the time to explain to me. I did have to go to trial, where he put on quite a performance, case beat.. not guilty on all charges.. this law firm is worth every penny & they’re reasonably priced! Would recommend!

I had the pleasure of being represented by Scott Kent through a DUI charge, a Driving while Suspended charge and a few other cases, all with successful results. Scott is a true fighter in the court room. He knows the criminal law like the back of his hand. He deals with his clients and his colleagues in a calm and reassuring manner, suggesting that this line of work comes completely natural to him. On top of that, he is highly respected and very well known around the DuPage County Courthouse. That being said, I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone in need of a criminal Justice attorney or anyone with cases within the realm of his practice.

He is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met about the law. He was always open to listen to my many, many questions concerning my case (and I'm sure it was annoying to hear) but he never ignored me or made me feel like he was too busy or didn't care. He has extreme attention to detail and is very passionate about helping others. I was completely impressed with his focus on my case and his understanding of the law and how it impacted me specifically. My situation was very dire but he knew exactly what he was doing. He helped me win and I'm forever grateful. I would not only recommend him to friends and family but I would hire him again if the need arose. Thank you for all of your help Scott. I'm finally able to breathe easy again.
