An attorney who fights for his clients

Donald Kidd and his team worked hard to bring my case to a very successful conclusion. They kept me informed during the entire process and made everything less stressful. I highly recommend them!

Posted by Trevor | July 26, 2011 | Lawsuits & Disputes

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.

Very Professional

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
