I have been with Mr. Kinard for over a year, we came to him at a time of crisis and he was very receptive to our needs. He was involved in both my family court and criminal court cases. Mr. Kinard was precise and collected, he was very fast to answer calls and/or get back with me at an expedited rate.... I was able to see Mr. Kinard at any time based off of my schedule and needs. He is very straight forward and honest, so I had realistic expectations which I appreciate. He was very involved in the case and kept me informed of any and all new information. Mr. Kinard was successful in both my family and criminal court cases. I owe Mr. Kinard my life, in which he helped save mine. If it wasn’t for him I would have lost everything. I highly recommend him with confidence that he would treat anyone like he has treated me and my family.

An attorney AND advocate for our family

Our teenage son is like many in this community. He innocently began experimenting with substances when he went to high school. But unlike many teens, his experimenting quickly progressed into a medical disease called addiction. Left undiagnosed and untreated, this disease could have destroyed not ...only our son, but also our family. Because addiction often results in socially unacceptable behavior, our son's problem with addiction was also impacting his school mates, teachers and administrators, his co-workers and supervisor, and his friends and neighbors. When his addiction became so unmanageable that he got arrested and was facing serious legal trouble, we reached out to Murry Kinard. Mr. Kinard provided our family with a sense of peace. He was knowledgeable and experienced, non-judgmental and objective, and well connected to and respected by other professionals in the justice system. He knew exactly what steps we'd need to take to help our son not only get the legal representation he deserved, but also the medical treatment he needed. Mr. Kinard was always prompt, professional, and accurate. His administrative staff was always responsive, courteous and kind. But, what impressed us most about Mr. Kinard was that he took the time to sit with our son, and in a way that our 16 year old boy could understand, he advised him of the laws, his legal options, and the possible consequences of his decisions. As a result of Mr. Kinard's legal advice and assistance, our son has now come to the end of his requirements to complete Pre-Trial Intervention. Our son has completed his community service, has worked to pay his fines, has gotten the medical treatment he needed, and is back in high school earning his degree. We believe that our son's successful outcome and hopeful future is in large part due to the legal assistance we received from Murry Kinard. We highly recommend him and his law firm for any family in need of these type of legal services.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have appeared as opposing counsel on a matter with Murry. I was deeply impressed with his professionalism, candor, and polite demeanor, characteristics all too unfortunately on the decline in our profession. It was a pleasure to work with Murry, and I look forward to working with him in the future."
