I spoke to Micheal for 20 minutes and he gave me so much advice and correct information, I can’t thank him enough. Very professional and extremely generous with his knowledge and advice. Would recommend Micheal to anyone in need of legal advice.

Clear and Helpful

5

It is rare to find a solicitor willing to provide guidance for free, however Michael Horne was very clear and helpful in his advice. I got more from a 10-15 minute call with him than I did from hours of trying to find information online. Much appreciated - would recommend.

Michael was very helpful in providing initial information regarding a problem I currently have. Actually steered me in another direction away from legal action at this stage - very good

Excellent, professional, helpful in every way. As a mother, Kidwells, Mr M. Horne, carried me through all the way. An enormous support to us as a family. No page unturned, everything was made clear and guided us all from start to finish. This was a first class service all the way. Would recommend the company to anyone seeking top class representation. Perfect!

My first conversation with Alan Kidwell he made me feel completely at ease, supportive and understanding. He acknowledged my busy schedule and arranged our meeting to suit me accordingly. My meeting with Alan and Michael went very smoothly, every document was explained in detail but making sure I understood everything that was being said and required. I was also made a delicious coffee by Alexandra who was amazing and guided me to their offices and then greeted me on my arrival. I am so grateful for their services and would highly recommend Kidwells Solicitors

The law firm called me at a time where not many solicitors would be willing too, calling me around 7pm which was brilliant! I dealt with Micheal horn who have me his time free of charge and dealt with me like a professional and a gentleman showing genuine care and it made all the difference! Definitely would recommend!
