Christiane Elyn Cargill Kinney

I had the pleasure of working with Christiane Kinney through one of the most challenging legal battles of my life. I was being sued by someone making a series of false claims, and after years of fighting, we finally went to trial. The trial itself lasted nearly a month, but Christiane handled it wit...h absolute professionalism and skill. Her attention to detail, strategic planning, and dedication to my case were unmatched. She not only won the case for me but also managed to secure a reimbursement for my legal fees from the opposing party, which was a huge relief. On top of that, she negotiated an incredible payment plan, making sure the person who tried to sue me was held accountable. Throughout the process, she made me feel comfortable and confident, always keeping me informed and guiding me with her expertise. If you need a strong, compassionate, and incredibly skilled attorney by your side, I highly recommend Christiane. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better advocate in my corner.

I was a musician living fist to mouth when I first spoke with Chris about a lawsuit that was brewing. She didn't know me at all, but took my call and advised me out of the goodness of her heart. Then, when I got dragged into this bogus lawsuit, she took me on pro bono and worked like it was the mos...t important case of her life. Her communication, research, and knowledge of the law was THOROUGH, and I can confidently say that not only was she the smartest lawyer in the room, she was also the most respected. Chris is an excellent attorney and an even better human being. If you’re turned off by a lawyer who also happens to be a really good person, then pray to God you never have to battle her in court. She’ll CRUSH you.

We thought we could handle our own work-for-hire contracts, just simple stuff anyways… until we got successful and then things got ugly. Another attorney tried to fix it, but only dug a deeper, more ambiguous hole. Then the litigation threats started and we felt sunk. Christiane fixed it all, but not... without extreme finesse and careful maneuvering that showed us just what a REAL Attorney looks like! Since those dark days, she has been such a great partner to listen, support, explain, and guide us thru to successful conclusions on many fronts! So happy to have her on our team!

I hired Mrs. Kinney to represent me in an IP infringement case. The other side had 12 attorneys who billed time to work on this case, and she single-handedly won the case in federal court for me. I cannot recommend her enough, as calm demeanor, and professional attitude when things got heated was qui...te impressive. She truly is the champion of small artist.
