About KentorLaw

Three Decades of Relentless Advocacy.

KentorLaw was founded on a simple conviction: that every person who walks through our doors deserves an attorney who treats their case as the most important one in the firm. For more than thirty years, we have honored that promise across ten practice areas — recovering over $120 million for the people, families, and businesses we serve.

Our Story

Built on Principle, Sustained by Trust

What truly sets KentorLaw apart is not the size of our recoveries or the breadth of our practice areas — it is the culture we have deliberately cultivated. Our attorneys are mentors first and litigators second. We invest deeply in understanding the human story behind every file, because we know that a legal matter is rarely just about the law. It is about a family in crisis, a business at risk, a future on the line. That perspective shapes how we negotiate, how we try cases, and how we treat the people who place their trust in us.

"We measure success not by the verdicts we win, but by the lives we help rebuild. Every case file represents a person who trusted us with their hardest moment — and that trust is the only metric that matters."
What Guides Us

Mission, Vision & Core Values

Our work is anchored by a clear sense of purpose and a set of principles that have remained unchanged since the day we opened our doors.

Our Mission

To deliver exceptional, results-driven legal representation to every client we serve — regardless of their background, the size of their case, or the power of the opposition. We exist to make the legal system work for the people it was designed to protect, by combining sharp advocacy with genuine, human compassion at every step of the journey.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted full-service law firm in the region — recognized not only for the outcomes we achieve, but for the integrity with which we achieve them. We envision a practice where cutting-edge legal technology, deep community investment, and unwavering ethical standards converge to redefine what clients should expect from their attorneys.

Our Values

Integrity without exception. Diligence without shortcuts. Empathy without limit. These three commitments shape every consultation, every filing, every courtroom appearance. We hold ourselves to a higher standard than the rules require — because our clients are not case numbers, they are neighbors, partners, parents, and friends who deserve nothing less than our absolute best.

Our Journey

Milestones That Shaped Us

From a single-attorney practice to a full-service firm with forty lawyers — every chapter has deepened our commitment to the clients we serve.

1994

The Founding

Jonathan Sterling opens a one-room office with a single clerk and a borrowed typewriter, taking on personal injury and family law cases that bigger firms turned away.

2001

First Major Verdict

A landmark $4.2 million wrongful death verdict establishes the firm's reputation for taking cases other attorneys considered unwinnable.

2008

Expansion to Ten Practice Areas

The firm adds dedicated divisions for criminal defense, immigration, employment, and intellectual property — becoming a true full-service practice.

2015

$100M Recovery Milestone

Cumulative client recoveries cross $100 million, earned across more than 4,000 resolved cases — a number that now exceeds $120 million.

Today

Forty Attorneys, One Promise

A multilingual team of 40+ attorneys serves clients from three offices, while the founding promise — every client treated as our most important — remains unchanged.

Why KentorLaw

A Different Kind of Law Firm

We have deliberately structured our practice to put clients first — not in marketing materials, but in the daily decisions that shape how their cases are handled.

  • Direct Partner Access

    From your first consultation to the final resolution, a senior partner personally oversees your case — never handed off to a junior associate or case manager.

  • Plain-English Counsel

    We translate complex legal strategy into clear, actionable guidance so you always understand your options, your risks, and the path forward.

  • Trial-Ready, Always

    Insurance companies and opposing counsel know we prepare every case as if it will go to trial — which is precisely why so many of them settle favorably.

  • Contingency Fee Promise

    For personal injury and most plaintiff matters, you pay nothing unless we win. Your outcome is the only measure of our success.
