Divorce Client

John, Marie, and the staff at Kinney Law was highly recommended to me and after working with them for a year, I fully understand why. John and Marie helped me not only with my divorce but with a business dissolution. Both situations were stressful for me and they explained every option along the wa...y and put me at ease throughout the process. Discretion was very important to me and I cannot be more satisfied with the way my cases were handled. I would without question use Kinney Law in the future.

Extremely Challenging Case

From day one, John has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Sadly, my case required the intervention of several mental health professionals as well as law enforcement agents. John's compassion and understanding throughout the entire process provided reassurance and comfort, knowing that I had a...n aggressive and extremely competent advocate in my corner. Thanks to John, his tenacious pursuit of what's right, and his ability to rally the necessary experts, my children are safe and I have a new beginning. I will be forever grateful to him. Finally, Marie, provided a great deal of emotional support throughout the whole process...the two of them make a wonderful team.

pragmatic advocate

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.

Top all around lawyer

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.

Outstanding!

I made the switch to John more than half way through my divorce because I was very unhappy with the counsel I had first hired. He was very different than my first attorney, actually accomplishing things and not wasting valuable time on petty emails and bickering from my ex that didn't matter. John ha...s a special character that you don't see in most attorneys. He has a compassionate personality to help talk you off the ledge when stressed; however, is able to pull the emotion out of the case and focus on what's most important. He will tell you what the court cares about and he will work hard to win for you. He did these things for me and I couldn't be more pleased with his work ethic, his determination and his skills and demeanor in the courtroom. His staff was very knowledgable, friendly & helpful as well. I highly recommend them!
