Three decades in the courtroom. One lawyer on your case.
Kent Starr has spent 30 years inside Texas courtrooms — first defending Texans against the state, now fighting insurance companies for them. 15,000+ cases. Same preparation. Same trial discipline. Same lawyer from the first call through the final check.
The fighter who defended you in court will now fight your insurance company.
For three decades, Kent Starr stood between Texans and the full weight of the state. Capital cases. Federal indictments. Trials that determined whether a person walked out of a courtroom or didn't. He argued in front of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. He clerked for the Arkansas Supreme Court and the Navajo Nation Supreme Court. He read law at Oxford and tax at Denver.
More than 15,000+ cases later, Kent has decided to turn that same courtroom firepower toward a different opponent: the insurance industry.
The reason is straightforward. Personal injury victims — people hit by drunk drivers, hurt at construction sites, run over by 18-wheelers — are negotiating with multibillion-dollar insurance companies whose job is to pay them as little as possible. Most lawyers who take these cases never see a courtroom. They work the file, accept the first offer that clears the desk, and move on.
That isn't how Kent practices. After 30 years of jury trials, he knows precisely what an insurance adjuster sees when a real trial lawyer's name appears on the demand letter — and he knows what they calculate the file is worth in that scenario versus the alternative. That math is the difference between a quick check and a fair one.
"Insurance companies pay attention to lawyers who actually try cases. Anyone can write a demand letter. Not everyone can pick a jury."
That trial discipline — the preparation, the cross-examination training, the willingness to actually go to verdict — is what Kent brings to every personal injury case he handles, from a single-car accident on Highway 75 to a wrongful-death claim in a hospital parking lot.
Where Kent practiced, where he trained, and how he serves you.
