Do Not Hire

John yells at his clients and treats people as if above them. He is fine when he gets is retainer money, but very quickly after that stops working on the case. Does not respond to emails, when he does it is rude. Extremely disorganized. Opposing counsel was always five steps ahead. Does not ca...re about his clients and does not finish the job hired to do.

Excellent Legal Representation and Services

I have used John Kinney twice for legal services and have been extremely please with the results. John and his staff were very professional yet very compassionate and friendly. They were very responsive to my email questions and explained everything clearly. I would strongly recommend Kinney-Mason La...w. Well done!!

Realtor

I hired John after a bad experience with a previous divorce attorney who I didn't believe carried forth my wishes. After receiving a referral from a friend, I scheduled a consultation with John Kinney. John took the time to initially meet with me and set clear expectations about what steps I could ta...ke to expedite the process. His communication was concise, caring, and frequent. I felt I had an advocate with John and Wendi, but they both made sure to curb my emotions when they knew it would negatively impact me. I am grateful for their help through this difficult transition.

Amazing Trust and Estate Planning Attorney

John Kinney made my husband and I feel so comfortable and safe working on our estate planning. This is a uncomfortable subject, as no one wants to think about death and the possibility of what would happen to their kids if they died. However, John and his team made us feel so incredibly comfortable... and at ease during this process. Thanks to John, we can now rest assured that our kids are in good hands if god forbid anything ever happened to us. John and his team made this a quick and affordable process for us, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to protect their children and assets. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

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!
