I should have listened to my mother and hired a male lawyer. She dropped the ball several times, didnt document my family plan, incompetence is what I was left with. Honestly the male wa sa pretty sharp and I wish I would have hired him.

I was lost where to turn when it came to representation for a child custody. John Kinney came highly recommend, he worked thoroughly on my case got me prepared in every way possible. He made sure no questions were left unanswered. He was so smart in his way of preparing my case. He absolutely nailed it in court. Once trial came around I was granted everything I had asked for he is by far the greatest attorney in Omaha.
John helped me and my family in multiple ways. He was always easy to get in touch with and him and his team were amazing. They listened to me and made sure I was aware of everything going on and understood what was happening, etc.

John Kinney made my husband and I feel so comfortable and safe working on our estate planning. This is a uncomfortable subject, as no one wants to think about death and the possibility of what would happen to their kids if they died. However, John and his team made us feel so incredibly comfortable and at ease during this process. Thanks to John, we can now rest assured that our kids are in good hands if god forbid anything ever happened to us. John and his team made this a quick and affordable process for us, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to protect their children and assets. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

Best lawyer I ever saw. I went from not seeing my daughters for a whole year, to getting them almost every day. I have a son by another woman and John was able to get me full custody of him. I owe him more than he charged me. To have all my kids back is priceless.

What can I say, this is one fantastic lawyer. John did a fantastic job and his partner Jill is really top notch. i could not be happier with my choice.

Tough to get straight scoop on attorneys via internet reviews- ie AVVO- they pay to play- they can delete reviews they don't like. John is a jack of all trades, master-of-none, attorney. Doesnt return calls or correspondence well. Doesnt really work the case unless he is spoon fed. Likes to intimidate in front of his client- short man syndrome. Mediocre attorney.

John Kinney is a top notch attorney, he took on my very complex divorce case and guided me at every turn to maximize my outcome. Razor sharp is the way I would describe his skill, at every step in the process he provided excellent council and keen insight to generate results. Divorce is a difficult time, John's experience and professionalism made this awful process bearable.

John Kinney has an impeccable reputation with judges and other lawyers in the legal community of Omaha. I had consulted with Kinney law on quite a few issues regarding my settlement. He has both the educational background and the experience to confidently handle each situation that may come along. He is direct, honest, and gets the job done. He works diligently and has attention to detail. I highly recommend him.

John Kinney handled my divorce. My divorce was highly contentious and included children, business assets, properties and personal items. This was one of the most difficult times in my life and the threats of loosing my children and business were terrifying. I learned through this experience that a good divorce attorney is part lawyer and part therapist. While John did the heavy lifting on the law side, he also helped me manage the emotional roller coaster this experience provides. My divorce went all the way to trial. John was highly prepared and in the end the results were exactly what I wanted. Joint custody of my two children, 100% ownership of my business and 50% of everything else.
John has since handed some of my business transactions. He has a robust knowledge of many areas of the law. He continues to support me when legal services are needed. I couldn't give John Kinney a higher recommendation.

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 temporary 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:

WORST DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY in Omaha, Nebraska. John Kinney of Kinney Law PC, LLC will act as if he cares about your situation, but once you pay his "too good to be true" flat rate fee for representation, he won't do anything to advocate for you or your children, especially if you are a woman. If you are facing a custody dispute or a custody trial you will lose everything you deserve to gain, including your children. He is worthless as an attorney, and his staff is as well. He is nothing but a negligent, haughty, chauvinistic pig. PLEASE BE WARNED.

DONT BE A FOOL! John Kinney of Kinney Law, PC LLO, comes across as a genuine, kind, knowledgeable and experienced attorney. BUT! He is nothing of the sort. Thanks to him, I am now a divorced, single mother of four kids, who gets ZERO alimony, AND less than $250 for all four of my kids per month after being a stay at home mom for 80% of my married life to a staff Sargent in the U.S. Air Force!! He was unresponsive to my legitimate inquiries and concerns, whether I voiced them through email, phone, or in person. I could have represented myself 100 times better! He didn't even submit ANY OF THE EVIDENCE I PROVIDED TO HIM AND HIS STAFF TO DEFEND ME. He was nothing short of negligent while handling my case and if I didn't have my four kids, a full time job and a household to worry about keeping afloat I'd sue him for every penny he lost that should have been awarded to me and for every red cent I paid to him and his lousy staff for this "so-called representation" This man, and attorney is one who should not be trusted! If I could've given him a rating of zero, I would have.

Everyone I worked with at Kinney Law was professional, efficient, easy to work with, and communicate via email. I felt like they were able to handle the difficult things that I couldn't handle emotionally during the time of my divorce. They were very grounded and focused. I appreciated that they were upfront with costs and have a set amount for fees at different phases based on your case.
John is very good at what he does! He is straight forward and extremely knowledgeable. He has experience and is confident in the courtroom, which helped ease my anxiety. He gave me sound advice and I was thankful to have him represent me during a tough time.

While looking to file for divorce in 2008, John Kinney came to my rescue. I spent several days calling different law offices, and Mr. Kinney was able to get me in for a consultation the very next day. My divorce filing and the proceeding was went very smooth and the I thank Mr. Kinney for his professionalism as he guided me through a major hurdle in my life. I have since referred several friends needing an attorney to Mr. Kinney, and I will continue to do so. He is great to work with. If you are reading this review, do yourself a favor and contact the firm. Thanks!

I would strongly recommend Kinney Law for Divorce purposes. I was faced with what turned out ot be a 40 month long case, with multiple trials, child custody, family business, Guardian Ad Litem involvement, forensic psychiatrists, and a high value asset pool in contention. Intentional delays, continuances etc. by the other side dragged out the process. It was a horribly combative and financially complex case with 3 financial experts and 2 financial trials. His experience and knowledge and counsel allowed the custody and home piece of this mess to be settled a year earlier with 50/50 custody and I received the marital home at a favorable valuation. The other results turned out as he advised they would 41 months prior. He counseled me on the "do's" and "do nots" of an ugly divorce. As a result, I was only deposed for like 30 minutes and spent only 15 minutes under cross examination over 2 trials. The opposition was staffed by multiple attorneys from one of the highest priced firms in Omaha and Kinney managed to make them look "silly". The fees I paid were less than half of what the other party paid for questionable counsel. The knowledge, experience, tenacity, financial acumen, litigation skills were by far the best you can get in NE and at a very reasonable price.

John and his team represented me through my divorce. Kinney Law made the process professional and that was a big help during such a challenging time. John listened, gave me clear expectations, and his advice set me up for a reasonable outcome. I like that John bills by phase and not by hours. I was very well represented, and got a fair settlement. I continue to work with Kinney law on estate planning and other legal matters. I believe coming back for additional business shows my respect for his team.

I highly recommend John to anyone looking for an experienced and professional advocate to represent them in their divorce. Going through a divorce is a trying and emotional time. Having John’s insightful and aggressive counsel is a calming influence when things get crazy. John’s artful guidance helped keep my case on the right track and preserved what was most important to me, my relationship with my children and their future.

I have been very pleased with John Kinney's representation. John helped me through both my divorce and a subsequent modification. John is very straight forward and provides reasonable expectations. He listened to my concerns and helped me stay focused on what was needed to get through the process. His experience and expertise was most valuable. John's staff was always helpful, stayed on top of things and answered the many questions I had. John was tough in fighting my case, but was always professional and treated all parties involved with respect.
I appreciated John's flat fee structure. I knew I could always call John or his staff with a question and they would respond in a timely manner. It was nice to know I could pick up the phone and know those phone calls were already built into his fees rather than worry about being billed everytime I called.
John is a dedicated attorney and always had my priorities in mind when working on my case. He represented me well and the results were fair and equitable. I will continue to work with John if needed on any subsequent modifications and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

Divorce is a tough process for anyone, but having a good, sound, professional attorney certainly helps. I sought advice from a few attorneys before going with John Kinney, and I was very pleased with his representation. John listened well, gave me realistic expectations, and helped me concentrate on the process instead of the emotion of the situation.
After the initial consultation, John kept me focused on the facts and the process. We did not waste billable hours talking about fault or blame, what is fair and not fair or the issues that led to the divorce in the first place. At that point, I didn’t need a counselor anymore, I needed an experienced attorney that is well respected and knows how to get things done. I also appreciated that while John was being tough and fighting on my behalf, he was also respectable and professional to everyone associated with the case.
In the end, I was very well represented, and got a fair settlement, including the time with my kids that was my highest priority. I will continue to work with John on any subsequent modifications, and I certainly recommend John Kinney for anyone in need of a family court attorney.

“I was referred to John Kinney by another lawyer who told me John and his staff are very sharp and dedicated. I contacted John about a post-divorce court ordered settlement which he agreed to handle for me. John and his partner Jill Mason pursued this matter and stayed on top of it aggressively representing my best interests as the legal battle ensued and became more complex.”
“I was continually impressed with their high degree of professionalism and knowledge. Add to that a very fair and fixed fee structure, which was very refreshing given the standard “bill-by-the-hour” standard used by most lawyers and law firms.”
“Sitting with John in the courtroom and during a lengthy and intricate deposition I truly saw a display of his experience and ability. His attention to detail joined together with his demonstrated commitment and experienced staff prompted me to write this about the Kinney Law Firm. My only regret is that I did not have John and his staff representing me during my initial divorce case five years ago. I am sure the outcome would have been very different. I would STRONGLY recommend Kinney Law.”
