Fantastic from start to finish

Derek and everyone else I dealt with at the firm were absolutely amazing. I am more than satisfied with the compensation they got back for me for my injury claim, which was a lot more than I expected when looking online at what I could potentially be owed! They handled and arranged everything for me, making the whole process as smooth as possible and taking all the stress away from me. They were also very quick to respond whenever I had any questions. While I hope I never need to use them again, it would be an honour to have such a good firm on my side again if I ever needed them! If anyone is looking for a law firm, I couldn’t recommend Derek and the team at Lawford Kidd more highly.

Exceptional Service

Derek is not only a knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional Lawyer; but also kind, sympathetic and willing to go above and beyond to support you. Genuinely one of the nicest people to interact with and you feel completely at ease in what is a stressful part of your life. I looked around other law firms prior to requesting Derek's services and saw the (well deserved) 5 star reviews and it's one of the best decisions I have ever made, with all thanks to him. He uses his expertise and experience to his advantage which in turn benefits you. Thank you most sincerely Derek.

Rta injury

I had the pleasure of Derek dealing with my claim, from the first phone call he was upfront and honest about the process and it went exactly as he said it would. I will be sending everyone I know who needs his services his way. Thank you

Head injury claim

Derek dealt with my case in a timely manner and I was well informed throughout the process. He made a difficult situation more simplistic and he was a pleasure to work with.
