People rarely choose a criminal defense lawyer on a calm day. Most of the reviews below were written by clients who came to Kent Starr during the worst week of their lives, after an arrest, a search, or a charge they never saw coming. Every review is public on Google and Avvo, and you can read all of them, unfiltered, through the links on this page.
What clients tend to describe is how the case was handled, not the outcome. No honest lawyer can promise an outcome. They write that Kent answered the phone, explained what was happening in plain language, knew the Collin County courts and the people in them, and treated them like a person rather than a file. Starr Law, P.C. is a solo practice, so the attorney who earns the review is the same attorney who appears in court.

After interviewing a few different firms around North DFW, it was clear that Kent Starr would be the best choice. He is a consumate professional who clearly understands courtroom procedure and aligns expectations accordingly. I highly reccomend his services if ever needed.
Nick Powell Google review -
He did very well for me. He was attentive to my concerns and answered the questions I had for him. Even some of those remedial questions. He listened to the situation and he never appeared to be condemning.
I didn't want to get involved in our "Judicial System", I am just glad that I found Mr. Starr to help resolve everything.
Keith Carpenter Google review -
Top notch attorney, no matter the time or day he will give you the best information as possible. He will defend you if his life was on the line. Very cordial, professional, knowledgeable and respectful when it comes to your prerogatives. Nobody I trust more.
Ted Smith Google review -
I chose Mr. Starr after speaking with more than 15 different law firms, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made.
From day one, he was personable, direct, and incredibly patient with all of my questions. What really stood out was that I was able to communicate directly with him throughout the entire process. I was never passed around to a secretary or assistant. Whenever I had a concern or needed an update, I could text him directly and he was always responsive and available.

I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience working with Mr. Starr. He has been professional, attentive, and clearly very knowledgeable from day one. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Starr kept me well-informed and made sure I understood my options at every stage.
Mr Starr was thorough, responsive, and always seemed one step ahead, which gave me a lot of confidence during a stressful time.
I'm truly grateful for his dedication and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for effective and dependable legal representation.

Just had a chat with Mr. Starr and he was extremely knowledgeable and kind, provided me with information regarding my case that helped lift a massive weight off my shoulders.
I plan on having him represent me going forward and I have full confidence in his ability to provide accurate and helpful input.
Brendan Hendershott Google review -
I found Kent Starr during one of the most stressful periods of my life, and hiring him was the best decision I could have made. From our very first conversation, he was calm, direct, and reassuring without sugarcoating anything. He took the time to actually listen, then walked me through what mattered and what didn't. That alone helped me breathe again.
Kent knows the Collin County court system inside and out, and it shows. He's sharp, strategic, and incredibly well respected. It was clear that everyone involved knew who he was and trusted his judgment. He didn't posture or overpromise — he just handled things the right way.
What stood out most was how present he was throughout the process. He was always responsive, prepared, and treated me like a person — not a case file.
If you need criminal defense representation, I can't recommend Kent Starr enough. He's an excellent attorney and a genuinely good human being. I'm incredibly thankful I had him in my corner.
