Kidwells represented me in the defence of a highly sensitive criminal case that had the potential to cause significant and long-term hardship for both me and my family. From the outset, Michael was clear, open, and honest about what to expect. His diligent and thorough approach provided reassurance during an extremely challenging time. I was also supported by Laura, whose care and attention throughout the process were exceptional. Her support extended beyond email communication to in-person meetings and attendance at court. Having her there made a considerable difference, particularly as I was navigating a completely unfamiliar and daunting environment. Kidwells also instructed a barrister, who demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. The combined experience and dedication of the entire team ultimately resulted in an acquittal, bringing an end to 18 months of intense pressure for me and my family. I cannot thank them enough for the support and representation they provided throughout.

Tagged solicitor Maciej Dadynski

The legal representation provided by Maciej Dadynsky was highly professional and effective. Two of the three charges were successfully dropped, and the guidance offered throughout the process contributed to a very favourable outcome. Communication was clear everytime, and the overall support was greatly appreciated. I am very happy that I have chosen IMD Solicitors.

Claire and Jessica were very professional and supportive throughout. They would answer my questions and guided me through the investigation which eventually led to a no further action. Couldn't have asked for better and would highly recommend.
