Divorce/custody issues

Sandra was incredible!!! After experiencing a horrible accident and recent divorce, it was then time to fight to be in my child’s life. In the most crucial time of my life, she knocked it out of the park and was able to bring my daughter home to a father that was missing her and all the laughs. I ST...RONGLY RECOMMEND Mrs.Sandy H Kinney for President (and legal representation)

Extremely Thorough

I hired this attorney from a very difficult spot, and she did her best by me considering the situation. Extremely precise, responsive, detail minded, and does not mince words. Really helped move a case forward that was dragging on. Listen to her advice, and you will do well in whatever case she serve...s you on.

A thankful client

Ms. Kinney expertly and carefully guided me through my divorce. This process was the most stressful of my life, but Sandy’s kindness, compassion, expertise, and patience was a great comfort. Her experience and intelligence was a constant reminder that I was in capable hands. She prioritized what was ...important to me and tolerated my countless questions with grace. She always responded promptly and helped me to attain the best settlement possible for my situation. I am very thankful to have had Sandy as my advocate.

100% Highly Recommended - Professional. Thorough. Responsive. A real fighter.

Sandy came highly recommended to me by several attorneys and colleagues in town, and after going through my divorce process, I definitely understand why. From the very first day, she immediately returned my initial phone call and set up our consultation after papers were filed. Not only did she put m...y mind at ease regarding the process of divorce from the start, she worked through the rigorous process of filings, communication with the court, long drawn out phone calls with the opposing counsel, and the vast amount of paperwork with a calm, cool composure. Sandy returned every means of communication from me very quickly and always made me know she was fighting for me through this very emotional and draining process. Her professionalism both during consultation and in the courtroom was not only impressive, but also reassuring in such an unsure and unsettling time in my life. It is also very important to note that Sandy worked very diligently to ensure the fairest and most equitable custody schedule and parenting plan was negotiated and implemented during this process. If you're looking for an attorney that won't leave any stone unturned, is always looking out for your best interest and most favorable outcome, all while possessing the ability to professionally and responsively walk you through every aspect of your divorce, then HIRE SANDY KINNEY as your family law attorney.

Don’t waste your money

She has got to be the worst attorney ever! Did nothing for my divorce except take my money. Very poor listener. I could have represented myself and saved myself thousands of dollars. Don’t waste your time and money.

I am sorry you feel I didn't represent you well. Divorce is very stressful, especially when complicated by domestic violence petitions. I wish you the best of luck in the conclusion of your cases and in the future.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Sandy is a role model of mine. She was there when I first started practicing and several years thereafter, as a coworker, and she continues to be a mentor. She treats her clients with sincere compassion. She is strong in a way that would make a client happy to have her there. She prepares her cases very welI. I’ve been practing family law myself for four-plus years. Having representation in these matters is important, and I would pick Ms. Kinney as my attorney if I had a family-law issue. I was named the 2018 young attorney of the year, and believe Ms. Kinney is an amazing attorney."
