Review Donald Kidd

Very Professional

Posted by

Mr. Kidd and his staff have been professional and caring. Everything that had to be addressed was addressed and we were always informed of what was going on. Mr. Kidd really worked to insure that we received everything that we were intitled to. If anyone wants an excellent attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Kidd.

Personable and Attentive Lawyer

Posted by

6-12 months ago I was involved in my first car accident. I was then referred to Mr. Kidd. From the very beginning he was personable and attentive in listening to my concerns, as well as answering any questions I had. Mr. Kidd fights very hard for his clients, and does not back down. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Lawyer

I highly recommend Perdue & Kid, LLP. Attorney Donald Kidd is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. I had a difficult case and thanks to the efforts of Attorney Donald Kidd and his staff, I was able to win my case. I was especially impressed by their prompt responses to questions and emails. I was always aware of what was going on with my case. I have recommended Perdue & Kid to my friends and family.

Don Kidd is one of Houston's finest attorneys. Starting with our work as members of the Harris County Lawyer Grievance Committee, I have known Don for well over ten years and had an opportunity to observe his work ethic, attention to detail and overall skill in advocating for others. Don commands the respect of his peers and opponents because of his strong belief in the American justice system and his unwavering focus on achieving results for his clients-- all while maintaining the highest in professional standards.
