What recent reviews say

Kinard Law Group draws strong loyalty from clients who work with Murry Kinard, Rebekah Manderville, and Alyssa Iglesias on family law and criminal defense matters. Reviewers consistently praise the attorneys' knowledge, availability, and genuine care. However, one detailed complaint flags slow case progress, expensive upfront costs (around $5,000 cited), poor responsiveness despite retainer fees, and difficulty reclaiming unused funds, raising concerns for those with limited budgets.

Recent shift: Positive five-star reviews cluster around 2 years ago and earlier; the most recent critical two-star review (1 year ago) highlights refund delays and communication friction, signaling a potential shift toward scrutiny of fee practices and responsiveness.
