I highly recommend this law firm. Mr. Kidd and his staff are very attentive to your case and all that’s insolvent. They spend ample amount of time communicating with their clients, though not frivolous as to increase their hourly rates. They pay close attention to all aspects of your case. No item is too small or too large for them to tackle. Specific to my case, Mr. Kidd has the expertise to handle issues that I deem extremely difficult especially dealing with a belligerent defendant, one who chooses to do things their way, but not per court orders. For this firm’s aid and assistance, I am forever grateful.

I am finishing my time as an intern with Mr. Kidd and am very grateful for the experience. Mr. Kidd is quite thorough in his practice and explains what he is doing and why he is doing it in a precise manner. This greatly helps me, and the clients, have a good sense of what is going on. Hailey and Angie are also both exceptional. They, too, are fantastic at sharing their wisdom and experience and preparing interns like myself for work in a law office and of course looking out for clients.

I can't say enough about the professionalism and thoroughness of Daryl Kidd and his firm. He left no stone unturned when making sure we had all evidence possible for me to win my case. I was always kept well informed of everything that was happening. Needless to say I was victorious in my case and have Daryl Kidd to thank for that 100%! I have used other family law attorneys and have never been this happy with how everything was handled. I felt totally secure knowing that Mr. Kidd had my best interests totally and unequivocally. I'm not sure how many times I will have the opportunity to recommend a family attorney, but you can be sure I will be recommending Daryl Kidd above anyone else.

Mr. Kidd and his staff got me through a rough time during my divorce proceedings. His office was highly professional and responsive. He kept me informed throughout the process. I was able to settle my divorce in mediation because of the great case Mr. Kidd built. This is the place to start in the scary, emotional process of divorce. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ I was very satisfied with Mr. Kidd services. He is a man of his word and did everything he told me he would. I would highly recommend him . His paralegal is always Available to answer any questions and very attentive.

Disappointed and dismayed I waited for several weeks after my case ended to post a review about Daryl Kidds legal services. I waited to be sure the review would be reflective of an honest opinion rather than an emotional outburst. I bring that too light as a preface to what some may consider a harsh review. I want to assure you that this review is well founded and thoughtfully considered. To get straight to the point, Daryl Kidd failed to represent my needs as a lawyer. Now let's get down to the reasons why I say that: I would expect a lawyer to have a strong knowledge of the law in the area of his practice. Knowledge of precedence and legal trends, provide legal advice based on wisdom acquired from decades of experience and know the personalities and leanings of the judges. Is this not why we have legal representation, to advise us of the laws, rights, nuances and precedence of current law as it applies to our case? I expected all of these things and needed all of these to make decisions about my case, my children and my finances. I do not feel Mr. Kidd provided this information. Mr. Kidd told me when I handed him my retainer, “You are paying me to worry so you don’t have to.” I can say I worried a LOT. The underlying feeling I have about Mr. Kidds practice based on our interactions over the 10 months, is he is overwhelmed, his work is rushed and feels like it’s all just on the edge of being out of control. I felt if I didn’t stay on top of the case, it would just unravel. I also felt like an ATM. By now you are likely pondering why I chose Mr. Kidd, and why I didn't seek new representation? I chose Mr. Kidd because during my divorce I needed an attorney to review my filing and represent me in the courtroom during the divorce proceeding. He did a fine job reviewing and filing the paperwork and representing me in court. Because things went so smoothly with a simple uncontested filing, three minutes in front of the judge, and knowing that Mr. Kidd had history with my divorce, it was an obvious choice to go back to him when I was sued by my ex for modification. But, within six weeks of hiring Mr. Kidd, and for some of the reasons noted above, I started to realize that my decision was a mistake. About this time a mediation date was set. There would be long pause in activity and I decided to continue with him until the mediation concluded assuming that it would go well and the case would end. It did not go well and I soon after sought legal advice from two other attorneys about my case. Both said that it would be unwise to change attorneys this far into the case as the time it would take to come up to speed would be very expensive and considering how close the court date was. Without going into case details, I didn’t have confidence I would gain anything by going to trial, nor the stomach to keep paying Mr. Kidd, so I cut my losses and acquiesced to the modification. To summarize this review, if you need somebody to review a simple divorce proceeding file paperwork and represent you in court, Mr. Kidd is your man! If you need somebody who will represent your interest and use his skills, history, and knowledge to help you navigate the drudgery and pain of our legal system in a difficult case, find somebody else. I feel it’s imperative that I end this review on a positive note: The shining star in this mess is Mr. Kidds paralegal Hailey Ray. I can’t say enough good things about her interpersonal, organizational, and expectation management skills. Hailey is the glue that holds the practice together.

Daryl was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. He and his staff walked me through the entire process and made sure everything was covered. I definitely felt like I had strong legal support during a difficult time.

Excellent lawyer and staff - who worked hard for a favorable outcome in court with a complicated custody battle. Daryl not only expertly handled each court appearance – advising us what to expect and what the strategy of the day would be, he also contended with a very difficult opposing family – one that pulled out all the stops, so to speak, to create havoc, and push the boundaries of decorum. His calm, steady, demeanor always evoked confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone needing family services.
