Stay FAR away!

John was arrogant and disrespectful from the beginning of the divorce process. In my consult with him, he told me he was one of the best, if not THE best, divorce attorney in Omaha (HAHA)! He called me names over the phone, disrespected my wishes when it came to depositions or trial representation,... and was the ultimate reason my divorce ended worse than it started. The decree was 100% written by my spouses attorney, contained much personal and mental health related information and was not signed by John. During trial and depositions, he didn't refute information that wasn't factual, was downright untrue or much of it that was out of date. He literally got DESTROYED by my wife's attorney in every, and I do mean EVERY, aspect of my case. His lack of effort or knowledge of the law directly resulted in me losing tens of thousands of dollars, household items and ultimately (and hopefully just temporarily) my daughters. He's about as worthless as an attorney as he is a human being. Do yourself a favor and find someone else.

John Helped Me

John Kinney was very helpful in listening to my situation and advising a plan of action. He was empathetic to my case yet very honest about what to expect from the other side. In addition to helping me through the court process to a satisfactory custody agreement, he also counseled me on how to dea...l personally with my situation. I enjoyed working with John. He is very bright and has an extremely good understanding of family behavior and family law.

Good experience

John handled my divorce case. He and his office were responsive and kept me informed as to the process. There were times I was concerned about the direction we were taking, but it all came out well in the end, so leaving it up to the professionals worked. I have no problem recommending John as a d...ivorce attorney.

John Kinney

John was extremely supportive, professional, and confident. I had tremendous faith in him to handle my divorce in a way that would be best for my entire family. I always felt comfortable in his presence. I could not have asked for a better lawyer and supporter for me and my boys.

My Divorce Exoerience

My divorce experience was very well managed as a result of John Kinney's skills, knowledge and tenure in divorce law. John is very organized; his communication skills are stellar. He guided me with regards to what we needed and he listened to me regarding my expectations. He is very specific. He was ...well prepared for the depositions / interrogatory and was able to get additional information during that setting. John is a good judge of character and was able to ‘read’ my ex well during the interrogatory’s which prepared but he and I with what we might expect at trial. He was very well prepared during the divorce hearing and did an excellent job protecting me and standing on my behalf. He made me aware of any risks I might be taking, and guided me very well through a scary process. Post-divorce my ex didn’t like the results; he felt I was awarded too much. John was very thorough and direct during the seconds session which resulted in the final decision being “no change” to the original decree. John and his team at Kinney/Mason are top shelf professionals! I highly recommend John Kinney. He delivered on every level. I am very pleased he was my divorce attorney and will remain my attorney if I ever need one in the future.
