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.

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.

- (5 star review)

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.

Highly Recommended

I was in need of legal representation, and Kent Underwood came very highly recommended. Not having had much experience with our legal system, I was not sure what to expect, but was pleased to be able to promptly schedule an appointment. I found Mr. Underwood to be extremely professional, and knowledgeable. He is honest, carries a presence of confidence, and he genuinely cares about effective representation for his clients. He was easy to talk to,  and I appreciated his thorough explanation of the legal process and procedures. After each meeting with him, I walked away feeling confident that I had chosen the right attorney to represent me. His staff was personable and helpful in assisting. I now have the peace of mind knowing that my legal case was settled, and I can move forward with my life. Thank you, Mr. Underwood, for all of your help and for such great representation.

I think Kent is very straight up individual. He is a very smart man with a big heart a really go-getter and very on top of his game. He is willing to go the extra mile for someone who was really rude to him in the beginning. He is not judgmental whatsoever and one who doesn’t hold a grudge. Kent believes in second chances. He has gone above and beyond more than any other attorney is Pierce County. For his client to get the proper sentencing and treatment that is needed. Hands down Kent Underwood is very professional and willing to assist his clients in every way possible. I defiantly suggest utilizing the Law Office of Kent W. Underwood.

The Best I Could Have Hoped For

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.

Incredible Legal Advice

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.

He Really Cares

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

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.

Would Not Take ‘No’ For an Answer

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 62nd 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!

I Was Able to Move Forward With My Life

Hard Pressed to Find Better Representation

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.

-

Thank You For Your Expertise

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!!!

He is Great

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 Saved Me

In my experience many attorneys will tell you what you want to hear when you are considering to hire them to represent you. Few are actually able to deliver up to your expectations. Kent Underwood is in the elite of the few who deliver! He walks the walk.

Kent saved me from serving years and years in prison. He did it by being expertly prepared, dressed to impress, and aggressively pursuing my case at every single court hearing.

If you need someone who will fight for you every step of the way, I can’t recommend anyone more than Kent W. Underwood.

Makes You Feel Like Family

I was very lucky to get Mr. Underwood as an Attorney, not once, but twice!!! I couldn’t be happier with his work and dedication to his clients, whether assigned or retained. I feel he is one of the best prepared Trial lawyers you going to in the State of Washington. No one likes to be out done at what they do for fun or professionally. Kent takes his job very seriously and doesn’t let anyone out perform him at something he is very passionate about. He makes you feel like family. Rich or poor, no one will do more for you. I highly recommend Kent Underwood!!! Thank you Mr. Underwood!!!

Dedicated His Time

I am GLB and I am writing this because I am wondering, have you ever been in a situation where you had to trust and put your faith and freedom in somebody else’s hands? A lot of people know me as GG, and a lot of people know that I have messed up a time or two and I can honestly say I can and I do trust Kent W. Underwood. He has dedicated his time and fought hard for me, finding every part of the law to benefit me in my court cases. The attorney client situation has turned into a friendship; who wouldn’t wand a friend on their side in a courtroom. If a lot of people could just understand that having an attorney like Kent W. Underwood on their side, the courts and prosecutors would have to stop manipulating people like you and I into taking deals that aren’t really deals at all, and give you what you deserve; your freedom. Kent W. Underwood is going to be the man who can help you keep your freedom. If you are in need of his help, I strongly encourage you to give him a call. If you are serious and need to fight call Kent W. Underwood (253-627-2600) or write (1111 Fawcett Ave Suite 101, Tacoma, WA, 98402).

He saved my career

I had my life turned upside down in a matter of seconds. When I hired Kent he really helped me right the ship. The results were also better than could be expected. Kent was aggressive and knowledgeable. I had to appear over ten times in court, Kent was always there supporting me. I every time I called he answered or called back. So my case, do to his hard work ensured a more than favorable result with civilian authorities and the military. I had 18 years of service through his hard work I was able to retire with ZERO impact on my career. I personally could not be happier with my decision to go with the Law offices of Kent Underwood LLC. I highly recommend anyone having legal problems to give them a try. I wasn’t disappointed, and I am sure you won’t be either. B.D

Kent Underwood is an Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Kent Underwood is an excellent criminal defense attorney. In my case, he interviewed the alleged victim and was able to show that she panned to have me arrested so she could gain advantage in our divorce. He understands the process, and was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to get me the a decent offer. If you need a hard working, and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney I recommend Kent Underwood.

Outstanding & Honest

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.

I had the honor or working with Mr. Underwood a second time when he represented on another matter. He was very professional and quick in handing my case. I was very happy with the outcome of the charges I faced.

I feel the outcome in both cases above where due to his outstanding knowledge of the law. I look forward to working with him again on my upcoming malpractice case. He is a valued attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a great attorney.
