Reviews

First time ever needing a lawyer and I am glad I was represented by Starr. Extremely pleased with the resolution of my legal situation and will forever refer and recommend his services to anyone in need. He is the Tom Brady of lawyers, certainly the man you want by your side when needing any sort of legal representation. He is transparent, honest, and caring to really demonstrate he is there for you professionally as a lawyer but as a friend as well. 10/10.

Mr. Starr was great. His persistent efforts delivered a very positive outcome for my case. Throughout the entire process he provided necessary updates and always explained everything very well. In addition, he always managed my expectations. Mr. Starr was always accessible and always responded in a very timely manner.
I thoroughly recommend Mr.Starr for anyone in need.

After meeting with a few attorney’s in Collin County and walked out of each one feeling overwhelmed. My son reminded me Starr represented him a few years back with a great turn out and told me to contact him immediately.
I am impressed with Starr’s Energy, Honesty, and most of all Patience with all my questions and concerns. He is as real as they come and extremely responsive Text/Phone. I am pleased with his work and the outcome of my situation with minimal time out of my busy life. Last minute at the plea hearing he saved me from State of Texas Mandatory 10 days of jail and lesser probation than expected. I will highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Mr. Starr was the second attorney I hired for this same case and I wish he would’ve been the first one I called. He really is in this field to get the best outcome for his clients. The reason I used Mr. Starr’s services is because he told me what he would have done from the beginning if he was the other attorney and also how he is going to rectify things going forward.

He did more than rectify things, I ended up getting a better outcome than I anticipated.

Just meet with this man and you’ll see why he’s the best at what he does.

Thanks again, Jeff!

Kent Starr is not your average attorney, and that is precisely what my son needed…an extraordinary, caring, diligent fighter. We had originally engaged a lawyer who had been a prosecutor, but who had limited defense experience. My instinct told me to keep looking; and after searching the internet for over an hour, I came across Kent and read review after review about what set him apart in a big field of North Texas lawyers. I made the call. He shared a common faith outlook and was easy to talk to. The fee was a bit of a hurdle, but I knew that a complex case required experienced, passionate representation. He is caring and compassionate, and won’t back down when he’s fighting for justice. Kent Starr is one of a kind, and we were blessed to have him in our corner!

Why Hire Criminal Defense Attorney Kent Starr?

Kent’s level of passion is incredibly difficult to match. You see, he’s always been a ferociously aggressive guy. During law school, he fought as a Golden Gloves boxer and earned a first-degree black belt. He doesn’t fight physically anymore, but he does put that aggressive nature to use for you in the courtroom in Plano and McKinney!

Don’t let that scare you off, though. Kent understands the difficult time you’re going through. He’s caring and takes time to understand all the challenges you face with your criminal charges. He also has a great sense of humor to help you dissolve some of your tension.

And when you hire him, you get his undivided attention. He personally does all the work on your case. If you hire attorneys from larger law firms, they may oversee your case, but many times they hire inexperienced associate lawyers to do the legwork. Sometimes, those associate lawyers also argue on your behalf your trial!

And if you want more proof of Kent’s legal credentials, just Google “Kent Starr attorney.” Clients and colleagues alike only have the highest praise to offer.

When You Need Proven Legal Representation, You Call Plano, TX Criminal Defense Attorney & DWI Lawyer Kent Starr

Fact: not every criminal defense attorney, DWI lawyer, or law firm in Plano gets you the same legal outcome.

The truth is two different lawyers often get you wildly different results – even if they theoretically represent you for the same crime.

For example, take a look at this case. Criminal defense attorney Kent Starr helped this client, accused of manslaughter (which has a 2-20 year prison sentence by the way), go home a free person.

Here’s how the story goes:

A certain client (we have to protect their confidentiality) approached Kent for legal representation. This client was accused of killing another individual in Collin County, TX.

This client was charged with criminally negligent homicide (has a 180-day to 2-year sentence). The client actually admitted involvement with the death of another person. However, the client did not believe their actions amounted to criminally negligent homicide. Kent agreed with the client on this, and thought a prison sentence for their actions was completely outrageous.

So, Kent discussed the charge of criminally negligent homicide with the Collin County district attorney – and it didn’t go well. In fact, the district attorney was so outraged over Kent’s arguments that he actually increased the charge to manslaughter (which has a 2-20 year prison sentence).

Now, most inexperienced lawyers, and some experienced ones who’d rather just collect a check, would have immediately sought a plea deal. That could have sent the client to prison for several years!

But based on over 20 years of legal experience, Kent knew the district attorney hoped to intimidate him. He planned to get the client to agree to a plea deal.

However, Kent strongly believed this client did not deserve to go to prison. He even did extensive legal research on other similar cases and found those individuals also did not go to jail.

He presented that research to the district attorney and the judge, but they still thought the client should go to jail!

Rather than back down, Kent took the case to trial. He presented the same legal research he showed before to the jury. After an intense, stressful, and draining 1-week trial, the jury agreed with Kent: the client was “not guilty” of manslaughter!

That’s the difference an experienced passionate, attorney makes. While an associate, inexperienced, or uncaring criminal defense attorney would just give up, take a plea deal, and send the client to prison for a few years, Kent fought until this person went home free – just like they deserved!

Make no mistake about it – Kent’s not the type of lawyer who gets guilty criminals off of charges based on legal technicalities. He’s the high-integrity type of lawyer who helps you get the just legal outcome you deserve.
