Practice Areas

Discrimination 35%

I assist those who believe they have suffered an adverse employment action with filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and represent them in any mediation or federal court lawsuits resulting from that charge.

35%
Employment and Labor 35%

I assist employees with determining if they have been treated illegally in the workplace. In addition, I review employment contracts and separation agreements for professionals to ensure their rights are protected.

23 years | 30 cases

35%
Litigation 10%

I assist any person in civil litigation with either bringing a lawsuit or defending against a lawsuit brought against them.

28 years | 50 cases

10%
Sexual Harassment 10%

I specialize in representing victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. I assist them in negotiating with their employer prior to filing an EEOC charge to see if a resolution can be reached, or if not going forward and filing a federal suit.

10%
Wrongful Termination 10%

Indiana has very few protections from wrongful termination outside of discrimination. I help employees determine if one of those exceptions applies to them, including as a whistleblower, and then file a state court lawsuit to defend their rights.

Did the best she could with what little my prior attorney left

Ms. Kinas was always professional, communicative, etc. Had she not responded to me that she was in mediation, or a hearing, or whatever else, I would have believed I was her only client. She even took me on after another firm dropped me as a client, which is rare.

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.
