Litigation Elder Abuse

Mr. Kinney handled my case with the utmost professionalism. His advisement thru out was impeccable. A very knowledgeable attorney, who I would definitely hire again.

Mold home

I had purchased a home and found mold within the first week of moving into the residence. Michael was referred to me by a friend and he jumped on it right away. Michael came to my home for the consultation which was a pleasant surprise. I retained him right away and we eventually recovered 90% of the... remediation costs from the seller and realtor who hid the mold. I have recommended him and will continue to do so.

Administrative Manager

I work closely with Mr Kinney with regards to contract reviews and changes for our customers. He is always very thorough and knowledgeable about any changes requested by our customers and always helpful if I have questions related to those changes.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
