Happy Father

Divorce is a difficult and an all-around miserable process. It was the most difficult experience in my life thus far. Trusting someone with your well-being and in my case, my child's well-being was not easy. I am very thankful for John Kinney and his team. His experience and knowledge on divorce,... child custody and the court system was clear throughout the process. The team in the office is accessible and knowledgeable as well. John guided me through a difficult custody battle. He was able to negotiate a fair property settlement for me and his skills in the courtroom awarded me the joint custody that I sought. What I respect most about John is that he was honest and upfront with me from my initial consultation to the moments after my trial. John is an excellent attorney and I am forever grateful for the extra time he helped me get with my daughter.

Divorce

Mr. Kinney's provided excellent legal counsel and service during my divorce. I hired John when my former spouse refused to do mediation. He advised me at the very beginning where he perceived to be resistance and challenges throughout the process. (of which he was "spot-on"). I was pleased with the... legal counsel and am so thankful I listened to and followed his advice. John has created a culture in his firm that is non-intimidating for the client. From the first interview to the completion of your case he and his staff are approachable and professional.

Handled my incredibly complex divorce and I came out on top!

John Kinney handled what turned out to be a 40 month long contentious divorce for me. The case included multiple businesses, child custody, a large asset pool, a Guardian Ad Litem, forensic psychiatrists, 2 judges, multiple Attorneys, expert witness, 2 trials, and stall and delay tactics. What he ...told me before the first hearing turned out to be true 40 months later. His skills in litigation, his tenacity, his knowledge of the law, his experience and his financial acumen and the way he could cross-examine witnesses was unreal. He successfully negotiated a more than favorable agreement on child custody and disposition of the marital home and the result of two trials was what he advised he could make happen on the division of the marital assets. As a ex-lawyer and someone with a JD/MBA, I was impressed and recommend him. The cost of all of this was well below what I would have expected for what I consider the best representation I could have received for my Divorce.

No fear divorce

John helped me through my divorce. I found John and his staff to be very helpful and informative about the legalities of divorce. If I had a question, John talked me through, in terms I could understand. John was also very knowledgeable about the legal process within Sarpy county, and helped ...me feel comfortable about what was going to happen next. I was pleasantly surprised by his business acumen as well as his human factor, (with a Dr., you'd call it bedside manner).

You Should Trust John!

Through the most difficult time I've ever had, John was the best decision. John is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I turned to John after 2 other attorneys could not help me get through my annulment -- not only did he get it done but he lightened my burden. I cannot say enough about John other tha...n go meet him and hire him!
