The attorneys are fantastic.

“Rebekah has been helping me with my case and she doesn’t just settle for the status quo. Lord knows it can be hard for fathers in the court system. Rebekah and Murry have done an awesome job on my case. Front desk people are very helpful. I would definitely recommend their representation.”

Alex Bennett
Times in life when you need an attorney are rarely enjoyable

“They’re often filled with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty about the legal process. With little prior experience dealing with attorneys, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I can confidently say there’s no one I would rather have in my corner than Murry at Kinard Law Firm.”

Margaret Ann White
I wish I could give Mr. Murry Kinard a 10-star review!

“I owe my whole life to Murry. When they say it rains it pours they are not lying. My journey started with Murry over 3 years ago when I retained him after dealing with an awful attorney who dug my hole even deeper and made his job twice as hard. I had lost my sweet babies and only had supervised visitation. All odds were against me, I was broken and on the verge of giving up on life.”

Heather Whitaker
Very satisfied with the service of Rebekah Manderville.

“I came to her when my previous lawyer wouldn't respond and I felt like I wasn't heard. Rebekah listened and made me feel like my points were heard. She help[ed] to come [up] with a very detailed parenting plan. The morning of court, the opposing party threw a curveball and even with that Rebekah was able to handle it with professional[ism] and quickness. ”

Jeff Smith
Very professional law firm.

“Was very impressed at the outcome of our first hearing which set the pace for the rest of the case. This firm does a lot of mediations too which in my opinion allows the firm to be better prepared to settle the case fairly, avoiding more legal fees. I would recommend this firm to anyone having a family court matter.”

Jason Mubarak
I am truly impressed by the legal guidance

“I received from The Kinard Law Group. The Kinard Team analyzed all potential scenarios and ensured a smooth process for my legal matters. I highly recommend their services and applaud their extensive counseling covering South Carolina laws.”

Scott
Our family highly recommends Murry and his team!

“They worked hard to fight for us and for what is right. His knowledge and experience were just what we needed to help guide us through and represent us in filing a complaint for contempt pleading. Murry's diligence resulted in the resolution we needed. This occurred just prior to the court hearing, so we didn't even need to go through with the hearing.”
