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...

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.
"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."
