Attorney Jeffrey Kent treats each client -- from the sole proprietorship to the multinational corporation -- as his most important. From simple contract review to the most complex patent litigation, Mr. Kent provides efficient and effective legal representation. Although his primary focus areas involve those affecting running a business, he has resources available to assist the Firm's clients in a wide range of legal matters. Offering flat rates, retainer agreements, contingency fees, hourly billing or other creative structures, the Firm tries to ensure that their clients not only receive the highest quality legal services, but also the most value for their money.

Attorney Jeffrey Kent's approach is different from many traditional lawyers who often attempt to react to issues and crises. He is proactive, meeting with new clients at the outset of representation and periodically as the relationship continues to try to anticipate and prevent potential issues from becoming legal nightmares. Not only does this approach reduce legal costs over the long haul, it allows his clients to run their businesses with a minimum of legal hassles and wasted time.

Sometimes, however, litigation is inevitable. A disgruntled employee or unhappy competitor might resort to litigation. Attorney Kent has significant experience in handling cases from inception to appeal. In fact, the attorneys of Kent & Merritt, P.A. have tried an average of more than 30 cases each to verdict as lead counsel. Most larger firms do not have this trial experience combined. Such experience lets the Firm confidently assess risks and rewards for settlement, dispositive motions, trial and appeal.

"Our firm is dedicated to handling the complete legal needs of our clients, allowing them the ability to concentrate on what they know best — running their business. Our attorneys offer large-firm experience and expertise without the large-firm rates."
