Practice Areas

Discrimination 35%

I assist those who believe they have suffered an adverse employment action with filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and represent them in any mediation or federal court lawsuits resulting from that charge.

35%
Employment and Labor 35%

I assist employees with determining if they have been treated illegally in the workplace. In addition, I review employment contracts and separation agreements for professionals to ensure their rights are protected.

23 years | 30 cases

35%
Litigation 10%

I assist any person in civil litigation with either bringing a lawsuit or defending against a lawsuit brought against them.

28 years | 50 cases

10%
Sexual Harassment 10%

I specialize in representing victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. I assist them in negotiating with their employer prior to filing an EEOC charge to see if a resolution can be reached, or if not going forward and filing a federal suit.

10%
Wrongful Termination 10%

Indiana has very few protections from wrongful termination outside of discrimination. I help employees determine if one of those exceptions applies to them, including as a whistleblower, and then file a state court lawsuit to defend their rights.

Honest

Mary is a very honest lawyer. She is frank and won't waste your time or money. Ms. Kinas worked hard for me and got a nice settlement. You won't be sorry you hired her.

Life Saver!

My previous attorney strung me along for 3 years before dropping my case. I was out $5000 and a damaged house. The defendant's attorney tried to have the case thrown out. Mary took on my case even though it was not her area of law. She knew I'd been dealt a raw deal and wanted to help me. Had it ...not been for her, the judge would have thrown out my case. Because, she took my case, I was awarded $10,000 in settlement. I can't say enough good about her. She is honest and trustworthy.

Did the best she could with what little my prior attorney left

Ms. Kinas was always professional, communicative, etc. Had she not responded to me that she was in mediation, or a hearing, or whatever else, I would have believed I was her only client. She even took me on after another firm dropped me as a client, which is rare.

Great defender

Mary was very dedicated to my case and was vigilant in getting me justice. She is tenacious and will stand toe to toe with the opposing counsel. She will not back down.
