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trial and depositions, he didn't refute information that wasn't factual, was downright untrue or much of it that was out of date.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.

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!

Who are these other Liers?

John Kinney and Kinney Law, Let this letter serve as notice that I am discontinuing my service with Kinney Law. I’m very dissatisfied with the service that was provided to me. I have only spoken with you twice, John. Once at our initial consultation which I paid $150 and the other was at the te...mporary custody hearing. You screen my calls and do not answer my e-mails. It’s the 21st century, I can provide proof of these accusations. I’ve spent $4,000; and what have you done to get me to see my child or to get my divorce processed? Google has much more of a help than you or anyone in your office to navigate this process. You have failed at the task in which I hired you for, which was to represent me. For these reasons, you are fired. Should you come into contact with any of my personal information please forward it to my address: Dustin.

Don't waste your time or money with this guy!

Don't waste your time or money with this guy! His one price fits all option does not work out so well. I hired him to represent me in my divorce and custody trial. Once I paid him, he did not do the legwork required to represent me adequately. I almost lost my kids because of him, and my ex sp...ouse walked away with all of the marital assets, including the Harley Davidson, the home, both vehicles, and even the kids savings accounts. Which my parents funded. I was only awarded $244 a month and child-support, for four children, I have them 50% of the time, and I make half the money my ex-spouse does. He did nothing to fight for me, or my kid's well-being. If you're looking for an honest attorney, PLEASE look elsewhere!

Gets the job done!!!

After working with another lawyer previously for years on a continuous custody battle with ex wife; the "seasoned" lawyer at that time passively represented my case and I felt disappointed. I did my research and found John Kinney and soon had him work on my case for custody of my child. John dug de...ep to gather all facts and evidence and assertively represented me to turn my circumstances around help me win custody of my child. After only working with John for a short amount of time, he did a better job than that of my former lawyer. I am thankful for Mr. Kinney and would recommend him to anyone.
