I went to Kelly Gent and paid him a retainer fee to file my divorce on
June 11, 2009.  He promptly cashed my check and took his family to Cancun.  I tried for several weeks to get an update from Mr. Gent on the status of my file and he refused to answer my calls or my emails.  My mother and I had a friend make a fake appointment with his as a potential client and confronted him in his office, demanding a refund of my $1250 that I paid him since he never filed any
paperwork for my divorce.  At that point, Mr Gent locked himself in his office and refused to come
out to speak with us.  After 30 minutes of knocking on his office door, Mr. Gent came out and when asked why he hadn't done the paperwork he was hired to do, Mr. Gent said he had no excuse but that he was sorry.  I asked him for my money back and he said he didn't have it but he would mail me a check that week but we never got it.  We have filed and won a claim against him in small
claims court for the money he owes me and he still hasn't refunded my money. In Aug 2009, Mr. Gent tried to file bankruptcy but was denied the first time because his wife was not present, the second time he was denied because he wasnot present and at the last minute he tried to convert his chapter 13 bankruptcy to chapter 7 and because my mother and I were present as creditors, the third time he was denied again because he had creditors present.  I have filed a complaint against him with the State Bar of Texas and he has refused to reply to any requests made by the State Bar or myself.  The State Bar of Texas set a hearing to decide if he was guilty and again at the last minute he responded to their requests and the hearing was postponed.  When it was reset, he requested a continuance so they reset it for another date.  Our last court hearing was scheduled for April 13, 2011 and the day before Mr. Gent agreed to pay restitution to me and the State Bar gave him until April 25, 2011 to pay, which he did not do,  so they extended the deadline until May 4, 2011 to pay the money or they will schedule another hearing. It has been 2 years now and my mother and I continue to try to get my money back without success.
