A Lawyer with Integrity

Brandon has been a godsend in the death of my husband. He was compassionate and worked tirelessly to assist in wrapping up all the life insurance issues and details that come with the passing of your loved one. His communication skills and attention to details gave me a much needed sense that all w...as being handled in the most professional yet personable way. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a very reasonable cost.

Wonderful experience

Mr. Kinney was incredibly quick and thorough in regards to my case. My family and I were new to the Missouri/Kansas area when I was pulled over by a Kansas police officer for a tag that was 2 days late. Where I'm from originally (Oklahoma) you have a 30 day grace period on your tag, in KS you automat...ically have a court date set and fines. Brandon took my case and worked diligently for a week and not only got my court date moved to an easier day for me, but also went to court for me and got my case completely dismissed! Without Mr. Kinney, I would've had court on my birthday and had to pay some hefty fines for being 2 days past due.

Did nothing but collect his fee.

The police went well beyond the scope of their search warrant of my house, then got a 2nd warrant to cover what actually did, 2 days AFTER they arrested me. They touched nothing described in the 1st warrant. The prosecutor knew a 1st year law student could beat this case, so they only asked for proba...tion. This was my 2nd D felony. When I asked Mr Kinney about filing a Franks motion, all he wanted to do is wait to hear prosecution's offer. For months I asked for my discovery, to see why he wouldnt file. I got it 45 mins before going in front of the judge to cop to it. Im glad the prosecutor only tried for probation, since my lawyer didnt try to stop them. The other 2 people that were charged, had their cases dismissed. I honestly believe I would be free if I had used a public defender, or filed a Franks motion myself. Mr Kinney is a very pleasant person, but worthless as a lawyer.

Posted by kitty | September 28, 2016 | Wrongful Termination

completely irresponsible attorney

He signed a contingency contract of wrongful termination with me. I waited because he said " my case will be a hard due to the fact I was terminated for a disability from a government contract company. When I heard Nothing I called. He said he emailed me the DAY I was in his office but when I didn't... sign the document he emailed me, he closed my case. UGH . No phone call, No certified letter- NOTHING. Now he made me miss the deadline. Of course when I tried a law firm to help me get this guy. I'm turned away because I'm on a disability income and attorneys won't take it because they won't handle this on contingency and I don't have thousands of dollars. I'm here to let everyone to go to someone else. Don't wait for any attorney- bother them- make them be your true attorney.

Dear Kitty: I can understand that you are frustrated by the fact you were never able to pursue your claim against your former employer. I wish things had gone differently and that you had responded to my correspondence 17 months earlier than you did. I was looking forward to helping you. As you know you never returned a signed contract for services to my office, nor did you respond to my email on 12/13/13 in which I asked for your approval on the proposed demand letter and charge of discrimination. Having never received the contract or a response to my email, until 17 months later, I believed you decided not to pursue the claim. I am confident I did all that I could to give you the best opportunity to move forward with your suit but I am sorry we never got a chance to pursue your claim. I wish things had gone differently and that you had decided to move forward with your claim sooner. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
