Testimonials

We hired Kent to help with a traffic issue we needed legal assistance on. He was very thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. He guided us through the process and took the extra time it took for us to understand through each step. We had the best outcome we could have in the situation and so very pleased with the service we received.
I would highly recommend Kent. I would hire him again in the future if we need further legal assistance.

I want to thank your firm for the expeditious and professional manner in which you responded to my concerns and obtained the order to vacate on my behalf. I could not be more pleased with your services

Mr. Underwood worked really hard on our case, He is very thorough and pays close attention to detail. He will fight to the end to defend the rights of his client. I would definitely use him again and would recommend his services.

Mr. Underwood provided me with outstanding legal representation and demonstrated that in a number of ways. First, his courtroom presence and delivery were superb (on multiple occasions), making his experience and thorough preparation apparent. Kent also demonstrated expert knowledge and great attention to detail throughout my ordeal despite the complexities involved. Next, and just as important, he kept me well informed — promptly. Plus, he showed both kindness and compassion during what was a very stressful (understatement) time. He explained information in lay terms as appropriate and his communication style is one I would describe as fittingly straightforward (read: no sugar-coating). The short way of saying all of the above is I believe I had exceptional counsel and I am grateful for his expertise, as well as a favorable outcome. Finally, Mr. Underwood’s dedication and passion for his work are very obvious and he is an asset to his profession. Again, I sincerely recommend Kent W. Underwood without hesitation.

I am writing this letter to assure that “Kent Underwood” is one of the best lawyer’s I have had. Thanks to him I get to move forward with my life and take care of my 10 month old daughter and raise her best I can. Again, thank you Kent Underwood for everything.

I hired Kent Underwood to assist me in a case in which I was charged with a misdemeanor. I called few attorneys in the Tacoma area. I found Kent to be the easiest to talk to. He answered every question I had completely. If I didn’t understand he would find examples that were easy to follow. His prices are fair, and he does what he can to make it so you don’t have to spend more than is necessary. The ending result in my case was the best I could have hoped for in my situation. I highly recommend Kent Underwood to anyone in need of an attorney.

I initially went to see Mr. Underwood after a traffic incident came my way because of the accusations from the other party involved. After my first hearing and seeking advice from the public defender, Mr. Underwood was referred to me from a personal friend of mine.

One I called his office, I was able to talk to Mr. Underwood personally, set an appointment and was sitting in from of him within that week. My first impression of Mr. Underwood was one of confidence, caring, intelligent and fully knowledgeable and accustomed to the way of our judicial system. He listened, asked the right questions, clarified my position and then went on to tell me the process and his thoughts about where I stood legally. In essence, he gave me the truth and didn’t add the sugar. To me there is nothing worse than to hear fluff when making important decisions. I felt fully informed of all my options and totally in control of those options and where I thought I need to go. I also thought he fees were fair,

His staff is professional, courteous and is customer service oriented, not to mention very kind and considerate.

During the next three months, Mr. Underwood did everything he said he would do at that first initial meeting. He gave me incredible legal advice throughout the process, told me the truth, gave me options and allowed me to make the decisions based upon his experience and insight.

In the end, I felt that I could not have had a better lawyer who understood the facts, represented and defended the truth and my position and achieved what my best desired outcome could have been in this situation.

It is because of the above that I can give my full recommendation through firsthand experience to Mr. Underwood as your legal representative.

Kent Underwood is a good lawyer. I felt like he did a good job working with me.

Kent Underwood was the best choice I could have made to represent myself and case. Kent took the time to sit, discuss and debate all of my legal allegations towards my case. He made me feel comfortable and very understanding at all the possibilities with my case. He is very confident and well known which makes life easier when defending any case. Mr. Underwood is very knowledgeable and has helped me accomplish a great verdict. I can now go about my life with confidence once again. Thank you Kent!

Mr. Underwood is a great attorney.  He really cares and takes good consideration of his clients.  He also helps his clients to the best of his ability.  If you have any criminal problems, I would advise you to contact Mr. Kent W. Underwood.  My name is Samuel E Alston and Mr. Underwood was my attorney for two cases; one three strike (life sentence) case which we successfully defeated and another case which was a forgery and theft case which Mr. Underwood was able to get dismissed.

A very wise man and upfront with the low. I feel confident, well informed and relaxed with Kent

He put faith in my heart and in my case when I did not have it.

The other lawyers I had, would not even give me a chance. Kent gave me that chance of my self-respect after something so traumatic had happened.

I want to thank you and your staff for helping out with my son’s case. Our family is so thankful that your office was put on his case. Since your office came aboard our son was kept in the loop and several calls were made to the courts on our son’s behalf from your office.

Mr. Underwood took the time to review our son’s case and made the efforts needed to move this case forward. Mr. Underwood performed in a professional and caring manner and went the extra mile for my son. We want to thank you once again for your dedication and may God Bless you and your staff.

My Name is Michael Byers.  I was prosecuted from 2004 to 2009 for being a medical cannabis user.  The city of Fife saw fit to send Detective John Nolta out of his boundary of enforcement to my now destroyed home at 1006 62^nd Ave. E, Tacoma, WA 98424.  These people came to my home and made my family’s life hell.  Lawyers took tens of thousands of dollars from me only to end up with a hung jury.  I had no money, no home, and a bill for more than $7,000 from a legal firm to be unnamed.  I received no less than a half dozen court appointed legal professionals before . . . KENT TO THE RESCUE! Within 6 months there was no more drama.  Mr. Underwood came into my life and would  not take no for an answer.  He pushed the prosecutor to take drastic action and talk to my doctor.  BAM! Its over.  THANKS, KENT YOU’RE THE MAN!

Thank you Mr. Kent Underwood. In the beginning at first I thought everything was down the drain and I was for sure going to end up in prison. But with a lot of patients and a lot of trust I was able to get thought it and move forward with my life.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you on my situation. I greatly appreciate all your assistance. I was struggling on how I was going to get my issue resolved and you helped me resolve it efficiently and effectively. Your professionalism and caring spirit put me at ease and gave me hope that things would be OK. I would recommend you to friends that need assistance. Thank you again.

I would like to take a moment to thank and speak about Kent Underwood. In January of 2012 I was looking at a twenty year old issue that had been haunting me for years. Kent was able to calm my fears and convince me to address the issue. This was one of the best decisions in my life!! Kent stepped up addressed the issues. I really felt like he had my back which was amazing since I have never met him. I am living across the country and never had to leave. He took care of everything and was able to vacate my issue. What a relief. You would be hard pressed to find better representation.

I just really want to thank you for your expertise and getting me through this thing! I cannot tell you how hard it was to face that demon. That whole situation was one of the huge regrets in my life that is now gone forever. I only dreamed of the outcome that you turned to reality. Thank you so much!!!

My name is J.E. and I want to let you know about Kent Underwood.  I was and still am his client.  Back in 2001 I was looking at 25 years for a lot of charges – mainly unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, intent to deliver, child (endangerment?) enhancement, & a school zone (enhancement?).  I hired Kent Underwood and got 1 year of probation and BTC (drug treatment).  Might I add I only met my probation officer one time, and he/she only gave me a simple possession charge with one year probation.  Oh my god he is great and I would totally recommend him to everyone!  He’s the best attorney I have ever had and I will keep him.  Thanks for listening to me.

Kent Underwood was an excellent attorney. He handled everything very efficiently for me and got me the outcome that I had discussed with him prior. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family.

I first met Mr. Underwood about seven or eight years ago when he assigned to represent me. I was extremely lucky to have him on my side in the matter. He was very honest and upfront, letting me know he was there for me and to handle the case aggressively. His dedication to me and my case was evident, and due to that fact all charges were dropped.
