Very busy, but very dedicated.

Very busy man, but very dedicated. He is obviously a very busy man for a good reason. This man dug me out of a hole I did not deserve to be in. If you are okay without constant communication unless something in your case changes or he needs more information this is your guy. That was definitely somet...hing I had to get used to. He loves children and only wants the best for them. He is extremely thorough and pays very close attention to detail. His goal wasn't to drain me of every penny I had instead it was to make sure that we got the best outcome possible with the case he had been presented. He is very professional, and straight to the point. He is very pro-active. I trusted him completely during my case to guide me in the right direction with little communication after initial consult and a couple appointments to catch up. I trust his opinion and yet he still wanted to let me know my choices. I would ask his opinion and choose from my choices then. He was always in my corner from beginning to end.

Divorce Case

Murry was a very professional experienced attorney and helped me every step of the way through my divorce. I would definitely recommend his services.

Mr. Murry Kinard feedback

My wife and I are both retired and "seniors" by anyone's definition. We've had the privilege of having protective custody of two grandchildren ages 11 and 8 for over 18 months. Anyone involved in the DSS process knows how difficult arriving at an acceptable result can be. We found Mr. Kinard to be... knowledgeable, professional, and open in discussing options with us. I am confident that we arrived at the best possible solution for our Grandchildren due in large part to Mr. Kinard's help. I would recommend him to anyone involved with custody issues.

Very satisfied with representation

Murry Kinard has represented me on a couple of different occasions over the years. I have been totally satisfied and truly believe he has my best interest in mind. He clearly explained the law and different scenarios to my questions. He is not going to mislead you or give you information you would... like to hear. I have found Murry Kinard to be an outstanding attorney. He was timely and responsive to any actions or request that I had. I have all the confidence in Murry and would strongly recommend him if you need legal counsel or a consult.

Best services

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.

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."
