Russell J. Kiner

I hired Russ to handle a divorce. After 2 years he fired me!!! here's why: I asked him when he was going to address something, he said I never asked him to do it. When I provided the email that was sent to him 4 months prior I was told I needed a new lawyer. He was right. The new guy got resolution i...n our first appearance. Russ would rather get a continuance than handle the case. Never took the time to prep me prior to a hearing. When were in the halls of the courthouse he spent more time flirting with the clerks and court staff then talking to me. I was extremely disappointed in the representation. The billing was atrocious, always behind. Sometimes 3-4 months. A a side note, his assistant, Julie, very professional. Maybe she should take over the business.

Our experience with Kiner Legal group...We have some legal issue that seemed overwhelming. After trying to figure out on our own which direction to take we figured the court system was to much for us to handle and we needed professional advice, at the least. On October 19, 2015 we googled lawyers in ...our area and went to see Mr Russ Kiner for a free consultation. He seemed like a guy that would get things done, after about 15 minutes he looked at me and said "you need me" and I thought yes we do!! Over the next two days I begged and borrowed to come up with the $2500 retainer which I brought to him on October 21, 2015....and then we waited and waited and then we wondered what was going on. We had dropped off additional paperwork from the other lawyers during this time and still nothing. Not a single word! Our court date had come and gone with not a single word from our lawyer so we called the office for information or at least an update on what was going on. We were told over and over that Mr Kiner was busy and would call us back. This went on for over a week when we decided that we no longer needed his services since he didn't appear to be doing anything anyways AND we were being told that he was to busy for us. So after 7 weeks exactly and after having to call and stop by the office multiple times to pick up the retainer check it was only for $1500. So they kept $1000! The office of Kiner Legal group charged us $1000 to do absolutely nothing!!! Mr Kiner couldn't even return our phone call and let us know what was going on, if he was working on our case or anything. This was my first experience with a lawyer and the absolute worst experience ever. I could understand him keeping any of our money for work he had done and yes I understand we signed a contract, we signed the contract after he promised us to work for us and to help us navigate thru the court system but it turned out that after our initial conversation and after we signed the contract and after we brought him a large amount of money we meant nothing to him, we didn't even deserve a return phone call. So very disappointed with our whole experience at Kiner Legal group. 

Ex had one of the best lawyers in the desert so we searched for someone who wasn't afraid to fight back. Russ Kiner is the hardcore lawyer we needed! He took on our case with 2 days notice and won me my daughter back when 5 other lawyers turned me down or told me the was no hope in changing prior cou...rt orders. He does his research and is ready to fight come court day, and he is good at it, REAL GOOD! HE IS THE BEST AND WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!!!!
