Highly recommend Michael. He was so reassuring at a worrying time for my husband and I , he really put us at ease and sorted out our problem. To us he was worth every penny. We shall be returning for any future issues.

Drawing up of our wills

We had two meetings with Mr Alan Horne, the first to discuss and to instruct him on our wishes.
He then explained throroughly the implications of our decisions. He then asked us to go away and discusss together what decision to make.
The second meeting was to inform him of our decisions. He then recapped again what he had told us and after a short period of time (15 mins) he drew up the documents, we signed them and had them witnessed by another member of staff.
It was a very easy exercise. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed and we would and have recommend the service to others.

Clear and Helpful

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

Abby has been an absolute star

After searching for a lawyer, I contacted Kidwells of Hereford, I'm pleased to say it was definitely the right decision. I first met michael Horne who explained the legality of my case and guided me through what could happen and from that point on Micheal was always available with full and clear explanations at every stage. I then met Abby Washbourne who is Micheal's trainee lawyer, I have to say Abby has been an absolute star, she worked tirelessly putting the huge amount of information and evidence together for my case, Abby would always be on hand if I needed anything, sometimes working late or on weekends. They not only cared on a professional level but also on a personal level and gave me a great deal of reassurance and support when needed. With the help and care of both Micheal and Abby we got the result I deserved and needed. I would not hesitate recommending both Micheal Horne and Abby Washbourne. Thank you both so much,

Awful first experience with senior partner at Kidwells

Having booked a clearly pre stated (by phone and in person) 30 mins to ask three specific questions, I never got the chance. I was interrupted rudely within minutes. I stated clearly that I was not happy with his method or interruption. He ploughed on regardless, taking the intended conversation into a different place, involving self promotion and warnings of what could happen to me, under certain dire scenarios. I felt he made inappropriate body language and psychological judgements of me. I never got to ask the questions I needed to in the way I needed to. He walked out afterwards, whilst quickly sending in the credit card machine. I was charged for double the time I requested. I wrote a letter of complaint and was met with this self styled “Gladiator’s” predictable defensive response. The overall experience was stressful.

Facing a stressful and urgent matter, I reached out to Kidwells for assistance, and from the moment I engaged with them, I knew I was in good hands.

Abby's professionalism and attentiveness were remarkable. She listened carefully to my concerns, demonstrating a deep understanding of the intricacies of my situation. With her expertise, Abby meticulously crafted the necessary documents in accordance with the law, ensuring every detail was addressed.

Michael Horne skillfully advocated for my case, ensuring that my interests were protected every step of the way.
Totally recommend Kidwells Solicitors!
Thank you!

The team at Kidwells are simply excellent. What was most striking from start to finish was the dignity and decency they approached every aspect of the case (towards myself as well as the other party) in an arena renowned for its lack of pleasantness. The results achieved were hard fought for and the work carried out by the team was executed perfectly, relying on fact and avoiding mudslinging and fiction when met with exactly that - mitigating filibustering and delaying tactics with steady factual statements easily laid out for professionals to understand. Every member of staff I dealt with was extremely professional and - as importantly - pleasant, down to earth and friendly. I was kept informed on details throughout meticulously. Their approach to family court was unexpected, refreshing and extremely welcome when so much of what you hear and what I had experienced beforehand in this area was so negative. Caitlin and Abby’s conduct (in particular) are what many other firms should aspire to, but will be very hard pushed to achieve. My thanks.
