Not enough stars to rate John Kinney

Everyone has a story. And a long one at that. What I wanted was for my custody battle to be over with as soon as possible to avoid further damage to my sanity and for the sake of my child. It was very speedy after I walked into John's office. He put a motion in for a hearing within 6 months the who...le thing was over. He did a brilliant job during depositions and was more than prepared. I feel we got what we needed down for the record should any future instances arise. I could always reach John in a timely manner when I needed to consult with him. His paralegal Wendi is an angel. Kind and caring. Exceptional. The office has a great feel to it when you walk in the door. Not your typical law office. My case had pretty extreme emotional abuse going on. That, in court can be like fencing a ghost. John, his office, and his whole team are just all around brilliant. I wish I could tell you who not to hire as I have been down that road. But I can say John is the best lawyer I have had. I would hire him again. And plan to for future instances with the individual who is my ex should the occasion arise. Thank you John And to Wendi you are an exceptional special lady!

Custody

John is a flat rate lawyer He tells you up front what it's going to cost to reach a certain point in your case ,unlike other firms that want you to keep throwing money in an account and can't even tell you how much more it's going to cost. John also knows what's important to the judge to win your... case . He saves his client time ,money,and frustration. I wish I would have found him first. I send all my friends to him

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.

Knowledgeable and Caring

John Kinney is a knowledgeable and responsive attorney. He is the guy you want in your corner. Our case was an emotional one. I often struggled to understand the process. John and his staff were extremely supportive and kind. John’s legal assistant, Marie, is simply wonderful to work with! They took... time to guide and reassure us at every step along the way. He is a good man and a dedicated attorney. The flat fee structure was very helpful. We knew what our expenses were up front ~ which is one less thing to worry about.
