While no one really wants to have to hire a divorce lawyer, it is important to find a pragmatic advocate in your time of need. I found John to have a thorough understanding of the nuances of Nebraska divorce law and be able to communicate likely scenarios, as well is best and worst case situations. ... In negotiations I found John to be both reasonable and realistic, while knowing where and when to stand firm on a position. I have talked with many people who hesitate calling their attorney with a question because of fears of running up their legal bills with every phone call. I found John's rating structure to be fair, and possibly more importantly, to encourage clients to call with questions and concerns. Like most professionals, John’s schedule does not always allow him to answer or respond to calls immediately. However, I found that John or someone on his staff would usually acknowledge my communications almost immediately, and get me thoughtful answers in a timely manner. Even the smoothest and least contentious divorce can be exceptionally stressful. I felt better having John and his staff as my advocates. They encouraged communication, helped me understand the process and likely outcomes, and held fast to my best interest.

I recomend John and his staff with the highest confidence. John is extremely knowledgable about the law. He is very responsive, explains everything, gives you all the advice how to handle many of situations that you will encounter through the whole process. I was married for 14 years with 2 young c...hildren. I went through an ugly divorce where I was followed by private investigators, had inlaws that write horrible things about me to the courts, had the ex- spouse try to hide money and keep the kids away from me. John put together a great strategy to protect my children and my interest. His staff was incredible to work with. There is know one better than his assitant Marie. They kept emotion out of whole proceddings, but were very counsoling when things got nasty. John and his staff always took the high road and I am glad they did when the other party didnt. It could have been very easy to fall into the oters party's accusations and name calling. The end results was I got joint custody, kept all my interest that was pre-martial,kept the home where my children have been raised ( to keep things consistent for them). I could go on, but if anyone has questions please call Johns office and talk with him and Marie. I believe my first name will be on this review, so please ask them if you would like to ask me any questions. Thank you Kinney Law, you saved a family.

When I found myself facing the prospect of a divorce, I had planned on using one of Omaha's ' Big Name' divorce lawyers until a District Court Judge that I know strongly suggested that I talk to John Kinney. Given that District Court Judges are the ones who hear divorce cases, I figured I should meet... with John. I am so glad that I did! I found John to be professional in his bearing, wise in his counsel and ever mindful of the big picture. Divorce is painful and traumatic,and no lawyer can change those facts.But having John as my lawyer gave me the good fortune to have wise,steady counsel and the conviction that I had a lawyer who would intelligently and aggressively represent my interests.His staff was polite and responsive at all times. I am very grateful that I had John as my lawyer and would strongly encourage anyone in need of his skills to do themselves a big favor and make an appointment to meet with him.
