Kent and Hamaseh represented me for nearly six years after I purchased a home with material defects that had been concealed, and they stayed committed, thoughtful, and strategic every step of the way. From the beginning, they were incredibly personable and patient, taking the time to explain the process, manage expectations, and coach me through each phase of what was a long and stressful case. When it finally came time for trial, they were outstanding. They tried the case in front of a jury and won, and even more telling, several jurors stayed afterward to personally share positive feedback about how decent, credible, and impressive Kent and Hamaseh were. That kind of response says everything about their integrity, preparation, and presence in the courtroom. I felt supported, well prepared, and confident because of them. Truly 10/10. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs strong, principled legal representation. read more

I just wanted to update my review with Kent Tierney after my court hearing. He continues to give amazing service and he has always been there for me when needed. Kent is someone that you can count on. He makes you feel at ease and listens to you when you talk to him. His persona and experience speaks volumes of his confidence in his work he does to help you win your case in a professional manner. I will never talk to another attorney and in the 9 yrs of knowing him he still the same Kent. Thank you so much and it's always so nice to see you. All his staff is also wonderful and professional. Thanks again Kent. read more

I was referred to Tierney Law Group from an estate attorney I was working with on two family estates because I was having problems with a family member that was was threatening, harassing, and terrorizing myself and my family on personal and estate matters. Mr. Tierney jumped right in and helped me deal with the issue. I didn't take Mr. Tierney's advice at first which delayed the inevitable. I was trying to be patient and nice to a fault and didn't want to follow through on the legal options due to the potential outcome against this family member, but in the end, it cost me a great deal of stress and anxiety by delaying (should have listened to Mr. Tierney from the get go). Took me 5-6 months to finally do the legal stuff that needed to be done, and a total of one year from start to freedom for the legal items to come to a favorable resolutions. He helped me by filing a domestic violence restraining order against this family member and when that wasn't working, I ended up having Mr. Tierney file an unlawful detainer case against the family member, to have them removed from squatting in a house of mine. Mr. Tierney might have sensed that I waivered from time to time on my commitment to see things through because this was a big deal/big stressor for me, so he coached me through the tough spots, reassured me, addressed legal issues, came up with solutions, and addressed threats made by the family member which were nothing more than desperate bullying and posturing attempts, and Mr. Tierney even returned my communications at all hours of the day or night. I asked him once if he ever slept. He just said he was always concerned about helping his clients all the time, any time that he could. The family member dragged things on in court, getting several continuances on the DVRO, and the family member even managed to get a hearing on the unlawful detainer AFTER they were evicted - not sure how the court let them do that. I was upset, disappointed in how the courts were letting someone abuse the court system and process at my expense. Through it all, Mr. Tierney's experience was evident as he steered me through the process and obstacles. We tried to negotiate in good faith with the family member to avoid the judicial outcome, but the family member wasn't having any of that and felt to the end that they had complete control over the situation. Negotiations were long and drawn out by them, desperate, manipulative by invoking religion, military service, perceived disabilities, family, anything they could say, and the family member still believed that they held all the cards (thanks to Mr. Tierney's legal expertise, the family member didn't prevail in either case). In the end, the temporary DVRO was made permanent, the unlawful detainer and eviction was served, and I could finally start the breathe again. read more

I do Not recommend Mr. Tierney's services. My experience is limited to representation in a family law matter in 2023-24. That the result was not in my favor has nothing to do with this review. Having hired Mr. Tierney, virtually all drafting was done by an associate. That this would be the case was not disclosed. The drafts met mimum standards, however, contributing to the 'Three Stars' rating. Performance in court and in communications suggested that his interest at that time was elsewhere. He was an inadequate advocate in advancing motions before the court. Without warning in the final hearing he turned to me asking if I had anything to tell the judge. Not having been warned that would be coming was distressing. He did Not double his final month of billing as so many attorneys do. I am glad to read others had a more positive experience. I hate having to leave negative reviews. read more

Atty Kent Tierney is the most conscientious lawyer you'll find. I seek consultation with him regarding a Landlord-Tenant dispute and he responded so quickly via e-mail. We exchanged a few e-mails and he assured me of my rights and where I stood with the case. I was getting intimidated and having anxiety, but his great advice calmed me down quite a bit. Best of all, he did not charge me for his consultation. Thank you so much, Atty. Tierney. read more

Kent is simply awesome and very sharp. Had a consultation with him back in April for some real estate related matters and he was extremely knowledgeable and caring. I planned to write this review after having him take care of the deed for my home, but I am still in the process of sorting a few things out so couldn't wait anymore to write this review. I plan to use him for all my real estate needs once the time comes around. read more

The best !!! Dealing with an eviction after the moratorium was lifted in Ca. What a shit show ! If is wasn't for Kent I would have never gotten through it. He guided me at each step. Making sure I filled the right paperwork work at the right time. Supported me in the process to get me through the it. Kent kept me on track and focus so I could get to the finish line. The good news Is that the tenants are out and I couldn't have done it without Kent. read more

Kent and his team were amazing to work with on my construction defect case. Honest, communicative, and personable.

I hope to never work with an attorney again but if I have to, Kent is my first call! read more

I had a divorce rejection from an online do-it-yourself website. Went through and of course didn't get it right and got rejected. I decided I needed some help but most lawyers wanted a huge retainer, or to start over which would have cost tons of money. Kent took a quick look and knew what I needed to fix. He gave me great instruction and I was able to get it resubmitted no issue. I highly recommend this law group. They are fast, responsive, very knowledgeable about their business and helped me where no other law firms could. Very friendly staff too. Nice! read more

I don't even know where to start how much Kent has helped me for almost the last three years. Every question, and every idea that I had, Kent was just a phone call away. He is a man of his word and will get up and defend you and cease any attack that is happening or coming your way. I placed 100% of my trust in Kent Tierney Law Group. Going forward in the future if there is any kind of contract that I don't completely understand? I will immediately call up Kent and make an appointment for him to look over the paperwork. He is a very extremely intelligent person and a goodhearted person as well. He provides the Nordstrom of customer service!!! With that said, I will always be a client and a friend to him for life!! read more

Highly Recommend! I have nothing but positive things to say. Usually in life we hope to never find ourselves in a situation where we need a lawyer, however I could not be more grateful I found Tierney Law Group. Kent Tierney is professional, gracious, and will fight for you. When working with Kent, I could tell he is a man of integrity and could feel his genuine compassion for people. He is highly skilled in his field and I never doubted his expertise and judgement when handling my case. Personally, I am not an expert when it comes to legal knowledge. Kent was very patient, walked me through each step of the process, and made things clear and concise. He was always welcoming and never made me feel foolish for asking questions or for want I needed. He was honest and provided me with reasonable expectations and peace of mind throughout. In the end, Tierney Law Group resolved my case to my complete satisfaction with less stress and pain than I ever would have expected. Before hiring Tierney Law Group, I absolutely dreaded having to get a lawyer. Now, I cannot imagine a smoother process. I cannot thank Kent Tierney and his team enough for how they handled my case!

Kent has an amazing ability to remember precise details from 2 years ago in my highly adversarial divorce. He makes calculated decisions based on his extensive experience in family law. Kent understands the process. Kent understood what it would take to win against an ex who gamed the system. This worked out well. read more

My son and I had the pleasure of working with Kent and I must say, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked into his office, I knew we were in good hands. He took the time to listen to our unique situation and provided us with sound legal advice. Kent has a fantastic ability to communicate and make his clients feel at ease. He has a genuine interest in his clients and their well-being, and this is evident in his professionalism and compassion. He always made himself available to us day and night and we always knew we could rely on him. So if you're reading this I highly recommend Kent. He is a truly talented lawyer who always puts his clients first. If you are in need of legal representation, look no further! read more

Kent Tierney is the best family attorney in the Bay Area. He is an extraordinary and very professional, yet very friendly attorney. I met Kent in a very complex situation. I reached out to many attorneys but Kent was the only one willing to help. He is the only one who believed in me and supported the truth. Most of the attorneys declared me guilty just because I am a man. Kent is an attorney of different level. He interacted with me and guided me as a real human and how an attorney should be. All other attorneys I have met in my life were like robots. Kent, you are my life saver. I want to thank you for believing in my truth and everything you have done. If you have any family matters then you can blindly trust Kent. read more

Kent recently helped me with a conflict I was having with a business broker I had been working with. I needed help quick to analyze my contract with the broker so I could figure out how to proceed without finding myself in hot water in the future. Kent was very prompt in communicating with me and helping me navigate my way forward. I highly recommend him and can't thank him enough for clarifying exactly what I needed to figure out. read more

Ok, so I can no longer sincerely tell disparaging lawyer jokes. I won't ever esk: "How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?"(When his lips are moving).....When Mr. Tierney's lips are moving it's because he is dispensing his most sincere and ethical legal advice. Recently I accompanied an elderly widowed friend of mine. She needed me to translate as her English is very limited. Mr. Tierney was very patient and spent a large chunk of his valuable time to explain the legal realities to my friend and make her feel a huge sense of relief;...and all pro bono. Kudos to you Mr. Tierney. You are a credit to your profession. read more

I don't know if the other reviews are bought reviews, but I had a very bad experience. Hired him for eviction and had a very bad experience. He charges hourly and will keep your billing going without actually doing anything. He could put together a correct notice, but he could not file the case in court accurately, court rejected my case without a hearing due to inaccurate filing. During this moratorium time, when eviction laws are complex and hard to navigate, do not trust Tierney group for your eviction case. You will end up losing money and time. Update: This is not a fake review. I can post the invoices and the case number. The guy who charged me $400 hourly, is saying he has a flat fee. On top of that, he took my case in the moratorium and charged me for it. But could not get me the eviction. Forget the eviction, he could not file the correct paperwork in the court. read more

When going thru the horrible process that is involved with family law, Katlin Law, was extremely professional, honest, compassionate, caring and did everything she promised. While remaining humble, she is to the point and will fight for what you need. Many times I emailed her in fear of what might happen but she would just listen and talk to me ensuring that everyone would be fine. For the second time, I have won 100% full legal and physical custody of all 3 of my children. In representing mesh maintained a calm and professional demeanor that the judge seemed to appreciate. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Cheryl H. read more

This is probably my fave Attorney house in Pleasanton [94588]...this office is no frills and go right to business...reception sharp and brilliant. Walked right over and greeted and inquired which Atty we were there for as I stated Atty Kent Tierney. She im'd attorney Kierney and let him know of my arrival while on another call. In minutes, I am lucky...as I have had to wait up to an hour at other SF Lawyer offices with big overhead fancy bookshelves and chandeliers and several legal reception. Not here...jst these two and yes...Attorney Mercado Si, hablo Espanol'. I was awarded a private consultation and less than 20 minutes I was out the door with our concerns covered and with mutual respect. This office did not belittle or look down on you or make you feel worthless except for funding the pay roll. NOT HERE...our Thanks goes out to Attorney's K. Tierney and Mercado for having their local office in business and by the way...right following Lunch. No long lunches entertainijng here nor extended golf games interfering with client relationships here. Thanks to K. Tierney for taking time in between calls and clients to see us here.
