Kimberly Kent is the founding partner of Kent & Bechtel.  In 1977, she graduated from nursing school and became the youngest licensed practical nurse in the State of Arizona.  In 1982, she became a registered nurse and subsequently completed her Baccalaureate degree in nursing at Arizona State University.  Ms. Kent enjoyed an exciting career in nursing for over 15 years in diverse areas such as flight nurse and emergency room.  She was especially blessed by the opportunity to care for critically ill and premature infants for most of her career. 

In 1992, Ms. Kent graduated from Arizona State University College of Law in the upper twenty five percent of her class.  Since that time, she has practiced entirely in the areas of medical malpractice, health care law and health related business litigation.  For Kimberly, the greatest thing about practicing law is being able to counsel people in time of need.  Ms. Kent has lived in Arizona all her life.  Her family settled in this state in the 1800s.  Her joy and passion is working with and for health care providers and patients to conquer disease and correct the failings of our current health care system.
