Overview

At Kinney Law, PC, located in Spearfish, South Dakota, we are committed to providing strong, strategic legal representation for individuals facing criminal charges. We understand that involvement with the criminal justice system can be overwhelming and uncertain, and we approach every case with diligence, discretion and a focus on protecting our clients’ rights and future.

Founded in 1996, our firm has built a longstanding presence in the community by delivering reliable legal counsel and consistent results. Led by partners Matthew J. Kinney and Kim Kinney, we bring decades of combined experience to a wide range of criminal defense matters. Over the years, more than 10,000 local and out-of-state clients have turned to us for guidance and representation.

Our practice focuses exclusively on criminal law, allowing us to offer in-depth knowledge across a variety of charges. We represent clients in cases involving DUI and drug-related offenses, including drug crimes and drugged driving. We also handle matters related to assault, violent crimes, robbery, theft and vandalism, as well as sex crimes and weapons charges.

In addition, we assist clients with expungements, probation violations and license revocation issues, working to minimize long-term consequences whenever possible. Our firm is also experienced in handling cases arising from highway traffic stops, hunting violations and incidents connected to large events such as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

We recognize that no two cases are alike, and we take a personalized approach to every matter. By combining thorough preparation with clear communication and strategic advocacy, we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges. At Kinney Law, PC, we remain focused on achieving the best possible outcomes and guiding our clients forward with confidence.
