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.

Child Custody Case

John Kinney simply wants one thing - to make a lot of money. I spent over $15,000 with him for a child custody case that consisted of a year of "motions to continue". He drug the case out for over a year. When I finally retained a reputable attorney, I spent $2,500 with him and within ONE month he... was able to get me full custody. John Kinney could take a few lessons from his colleagues in the legal profession.

I have searched our database of client names and can find no one I have ever represented named "Kendra" and no one fitting this fact pattern, or anything close to this pattern, at least not in the last one to three years.

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.

Utterly Disappointed

I had used Mr. Kinney's firm in the past (two years ago) concerning my business and incorporation. Recently, I had a homeowner back out of a sales agreement and this person hired Mr. Kinney to represent them. I received a very condescending and antagonistic letter personally written by Mr. Kinney. I ...went to his office to discuss what I believed to be a breach of ethics on his part. After simply introducing myself and the reason for being there, he ran away into his back offices muttering and threatened to call law enforcement. I simply wanted to ask if he made it a regular practice to send such threatening letters to people who had contributed to his income in the recent past. Sadly, he would not come out to talk to me about his business model. I was stunned by his lack of professionalism and decorum.

This individual called with a false name and asked for me and then appeared suddenly at our office unannounced within a few minutes of his call. His version of events is quite a departure from ours here at Kinney law. The police were called.

Outstand Service and Legal Advice

I hired Mr. John Kinney in 2009 to help with my divorce. John provided me with outstanding advice and legal service. Everything I asked for John delivered on. Going thru a divorce is a very emotional and tough experience. John and his firm always put me at ease. When the divorce was final John c...ame thru on everything I asked for. Thru the yrs I have gone back to John for various other legal matters and he continually provides the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend John Kinney and Kinney Law Firm. John has put together a team of persistent, intelligent and diligent employees that always welcome me with open arms. I’ll continue to use Kinney Law Firm and recommend them to any one asking for legal assistance.
