[ 02 / How Kent Works ]
How Kent works.
A solo criminal defense practice in McKinney, explained plainly. Who actually handles your case, and what Kent will and will not tell you on the first call.
[ 03 / The Approach ]
Most criminal defense websites shout in superlatives. Texas does not let Kent advertise that way, and he would not anyway. A lawyer who can actually walk you through what happens in your case does not need to puff himself up.
So here it is, straight. How the firm runs, and what you can expect to hear from Kent. The parts of his record that matter, you can check for yourself. If you are reading this with a court date ahead of you and a knot in your stomach, it is meant to make you feel like you are dealing with a real person.
[ 04 / What to Expect ]
What working with Kent actually looks like.
Your case stays with Kent
This is a solo practice. No associates, no junior lawyer learning on your file. The lawyer you hire is the one who stands up in court for you.
He will not promise you an outcome
No honest lawyer can. Every case turns on its own facts, and the State controls evidence Kent has not seen yet. What he will give you is a straight read of the situation in front of him.
He works the mechanism
The stop. The offense report. The exact statute charged. The prosecutor assigned. The specific Collin County court your case lands in. Those details decide cases.
No badges, no guarantees
You will not find ranking seals or superlatives on this site, and you will not hear a guaranteed result on the phone. Kent gives you the facts and the plan, then lets you decide.
The first call is free and direct
You reach Kent, not a screener. He listens, then tells you the next step in plain English. Payment plans and cards are accepted, and he works in Spanish and Portuguese.
