The newest addition to this family law firm is none other than Van Kinney’s very own family. Chase Kinney, Van’s daughter, is also an Attorney, licensed to practice law in the state of California.
Chase Kinney, 34, has been working in the Law offices of Van O. Kinney for 15 years, during which time, she put herself through graduate and post graduate school. Chase has earned the Degree of Juris Doctor, with psychology studies in her undergrad. Prior to being an attorney, while Chase was Van’s secretary, she mastered the offices legal research, motions, forms and the complex family law procedure. However, Chase’s true gift is her ability to listen and counsel the clients during this difficult time. Chase made sure all Van’s clients understood the procedure and felt comfortable throughout the process. Her psychology education has shown to be an essential asset in the family law arena.
Although Chase was a great paralegal and helpful to Van’s practice, she felt she could do more as an attorney. As such, Chase took the LSAT, got accepted into law school, successfully graduated and earned her Doctorate Degree all while maintaining her full time paralegal position at the Law Offices of Van O. Kinney. It should be noted that during her four years of law school she managed the office, the commute, school, and study effortlessly which can only be attributed to her passion and dedication to the practice of law. Chase then passed the California State Bar Exam and was sworn in to practice law, without missing a beat, at Van Kinney’s law office.
Van is proud to announce that he and his daughter, Chase Kathryn Kinney, ESQ. Are working side by side as attorneys at law. Chase will be practicing family law with her father which we can only believe will be a smooth transition, due to her years as Van’s secretary and great understanding of this field. Chase will bring to the table a fresh up to date understanding of all new and current laws, while Van has the wisdom and experience of 43 years. The power this father daughter attorney duo brings to a family law case is one to be reckoned with.
