Kit Yona (he/him) does a little bit of everything at FindLaw, spreading his time between writing, editing, and publishing articles. If it has words, he wants to be involved.
Kit graduated from Fairfield University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Psychology. He then earned a Master of Arts in English from Michigan State University. After graduation, he juggled running the family business with righting wrong writing as a freelance writer/editor/proofreader. With the sale of the business, Kit was finally able to focus on his preferred career.
Kit has written everything from college prep essays to answers for The Straight Dope. In addition to helping others with their writing, Kit’s work has appeared in several publications, including one of the lead stories in the Amazon #1 Bestseller Machine of Death. He has edited both nonfiction and fiction in about every genre imaginable.
An admitted word nerd, Kit is also a level three ice hockey referee, a first-degree black belt, and a board game addict. A passionate advocate for women’s rights, he serves as a team leader for MMA Clinic escorts. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, two kids, three dogs, and two cats in a house that is in no way large enough for all of them.

For over 180 years, absentee and mail-in ballots have been part of American political elections. For the 2026 midterms, a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) leaves in place a preliminary injunction against new federal ballot-mail requirements imposed by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Beyond that, mail-voting restrictions will…
States and cities are suing to stop a new Trump administration rule that could make it riskier for some immigrants seeking green cards to use public-benefit programs. They argue the policy is too broad and unclear and could lead eligible families to avoid food, housing, and health assistance for fear…
The second Trump administration continues to prioritize the removal of immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims the administration has close to a million removals since the start of the term, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removals, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) removals, and Coast Guard repatriations.
The term “jailhouse lawyer” has been around for a long time. For a pair of prisoners currently serving time in Minnesota Department of Corrections (MDOC) facilities, it may never have been more earned. For those who love a good redemption arc, it may be difficult to top the accomplishments of…
The ink is barely dry on a Supreme Court ruling about geofence warrants, but that is not deterring the Justice Department. On September 3, 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit,…
Getting a group of people to agree on lunch can be hard enough. Getting 12 jurors to agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was legally responsible for the deaths of her children, or whether mental illness means that she could not be held criminally responsible? That proved impossible. Why the Mistrial?…
You can’t unring a bell, unpop a balloon, or unsee certain things that you really, really didn’t want to see in the first place. A revived lawsuit also argues that you can’t simply unspoil a national monument, once again pitting conservation groups, tribal nations, and a clothing company against the…
