It's taken me a long time to write this review. Finally free of the year and a half ordeal of fighting serious criminal charges. I want to thank Kent not just for being awesome at his job, but for dealing with me along the way. Facing criminal charges is stressful and having an attorney that's patient is a must. Kent dealt with my craziness and handled my case like the professional that he is and we wound up getting a dismissal due to his efforts. If you ever get into trouble in the Tacoma-Seattle area he is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Thanks buddy appreciate all you did for me.

Working with Kent Underwood was a great experience despite the situation that made me need professional representation. He was concise and realistic with my options and we ultimately got what I wanted. I will be definitely referring all my family and friends to him!

It was an unexpected event that led us to search for an attorney. We hired Kent Underwood and were very happy with our decision. Mr. Underwood was professional and kind in every way. He took the time to explain the legal system to us in terms that we could understand. He provided options and explained potential results so that we felt that we were making educated decisions. We would certainly choose him again should the need arise.

Kent Underwood reached out to me (through another attorney who was involved in our case) after I, along with 5 other activists were arrested for non-violent direct action. We had chained ourselves to construction equipment at the Puget Sound Energy liquid fracked gas plant site in the port of Tacoma. We did the direct action as a last resort to stop the dangerous and polluting project from being built. We were arrested and charged with 2nd degree criminal trespass and obstruction of an officer. Kent volunteered to defend me pro bono, because he wanted to help people who were trying to protect the environment. I ultimately ended up accepting a stipulated order of continuance, because I just wasn't able to go through a jury trial at that point in my life. Kent helped me navigate the process and gave me really good advice throughout. He represented me at two pre trials. He's very professional, punctual and empathetic and I'm so grateful to have met him and had his assistance.

When I first went to Mr. Underwood I wasn't sure I could afford an attorney and I was already on probation with two other cases. I was both nervous and irritated (about the whole situation I was in). Kent assured me that I had a great case and it it be with hiring him. In my head I was thinking "yea I've heard this before and no attorney has helped me, other than getting a plea bargain". After a day of thinking and looking around I hired Mr. Underwood and honestly it was one of my best decisions. He not only was helpful along with his assistant, but he got my case dismissed without haveing to go to trial!! Most attorneys will sucker you out of money, but Kent Underwood is the best attorney I've ever had and worked with me better than any attorney I've ever had.

Kent underwood is a excellent and non judgmental lawyer and I highly recommend him. What I really liked was that he explained everything to me and made me think the process was much easier then it originally sounded, it helped me feel a lot less nervous during court having understood what exactly was going on. I ended up with a much more positive result then I expected, thanks to Mr. Underwood!

I hired Mr. Underwood for my niece who had some legal issues related to her previous drug use several years ago. He was able to fully answer our questions and was able to show up for for a hearing the next morning, which was awesome. He listens, takes the time to explain things, but best of all, has a deep understanding of the criminal justice system, so the result from our hearing was dismissal of all charges. To have such a kind, knowledgable, honest and hard working attorney gave us a great deal of confidence as we went though the complicated and unknown legal system. Even though he was busy, Mr. Underwood waited to make sure the paperwork from the court was completed properly. This was fortunate, as there was an error which he was able to have corrected quickly. My niece and I are thankful to him as we realized it was important to get the best legal representation possible to minimize or eliminate criminal charges that would have affected her in terms of where she could live and work for many years in the future. I have worked with attorneys in my previous job and I did not find them to care as much about their clients, or as willing to work as hard as Mr. Underwood for the best possible outcome.

Mr. Underwood does not pull any punches. He is straight forward. He assisted my family with a very difficult situation. I am very impressed with his job. I highly recommend him if you need any type of representation. Janet , his assistant, is an amazing person as well. I will definitely use them again if needed.

Kent was instrumental in helping me after a car accident I was in that was no fault of my own. Him and his team helped me deal with all the insurance companies to reach a settlement that was fair. Kent and his team showed compassion and concern for my situation. They kept in contact with me through the entire process. It was a pleasure working with them. I would use him again in the future if needed.

Mr. Underwood, along with a miracle worker of an assistant, Janet, had my assault 4 conviction vacated for me. This has been a black cloud over me making life difficult to work as a nurse. He originally saved me from a felony assault, getting it reduced to an assault 4 with a one year dismissal. Now the whole ordeal is over and my life can really flourish! I can now become the nurse Ive always been destined to be! Thanks to Kent and Janet!

My Attorney Kent Underwood was really helpful with my case. He definitely went above and beyond my expectations for resolving my case short of trial. This was my first time being involved in a Superior Court matter which can be very intimidating but Kent was reassuring which made me feel more confident with him as my Attorney. Kent is very experienced and knowledgeable in criminal matters. Also his case manager is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. These two are a great team and deserve the highest rating of 5 stars. Great experience with the both of them.
