John Brendan Kidd

My husband got a DUI and his case seemed hopeless because it was his fifth in 10 years. The prosecutor was asking for 10 years in prison. Brendan pulled off a miracle. He did something that has never been tried before and was able to get a plea of attempted DUI and my husband was sentenced to only 2 years in prison with the DOSA, which means he will get treatment while in prison. I cannot say enough good things about Brendan. He was always available to my husband and myself and answered calls and texts quickly, even when he was on vacation. He is knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Kidd was extremely aggressive in my case and he got results very fast and explained everything in a way that a non lawyer could understand. He also knows the law very very well and I would refer him to anyone that was in need of a lawyer. He is also very reasonable on his rates that he charges and you can see he cares about his clients, he is not there to just take someone's money. Thanks again Brendon.

I am a lawyer, and when I needed a DUI attorney, I hired Brendan Kidd. One of the most important decisions a person will ever make is deciding which lawyer to hire. And if you've been charged with anything beyond a speeding ticket, you definitely need a lawyer. Based on his professional reputation, I hired Brendan within hours of being cited for DUI and reckless driving. At first, it seemed like my case was hopeless. Allegedly, I was going twice the speed limit and I had a high BAC. Additionally, here in Washington, the Department of Licensing suspends your license within 60 days of an arrest for DUI and requires a breathalyzer for your car. Not only did Brendan stop all of that and save my license, he got the DUI and reckless driving charges dismissed. In the end, I pleaded only to negligent driving, which was a fine, a two hour panel about DUI victims, and a one day alcohol class. But above all, Brendan wasn't just a great lawyer, he became a friend who got me through the process. He always returned my calls and emails promptly, and he truly cared about how I was doing the whole time. Let me be clear. Drinking and driving is wrong. I will never drink and drive again. But if you make a mistake, get a lawyer's lawyer like Brendan Kidd. It will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

Mr. Kidd was amazing! He explained all my options from the start and made sure I understood everything. I was dealing with a dui and he was able to get this reduced to neg driving. During the entire process, Mr. Kidd answered every question in a timely fashion and walked me thru every step I needed to get done. During a very stressful time for myself, Mr. Kidd eased as much of my stress as humanly possible by making sure I was updated all the way from beginning to the end of my case.

Mr. Kidd is a stand man, who worked hard to help get my DUI dismissed! Not only did he do that but also helped beat my license suspension from the D.O.L. I highly recommend him for anyone who is the same position I was! He will do everything possible to help better the outcome of your particular case!!

Brendan did an outstanding job in my opinion and for a very reasonable price. A family member was ticketed for speeding, without proof of radar, by the same officer in the same location within a short period of time. It was suspiciously appearing this officer was targeting my family member, causing us to seek legal representation. Brendan clearly explained our options from negotiating a lesser charge to formally contesting the potentially wrongful infraction. He kept us informed throughout the entire process. In the end, he successfully negotiated a very favorable outcome with the county prosecutor and the whole situation was taken care of fairly, expeditiously and with minimal impact to all of us. We were very pleased and would give anyone considering Brendan, the strongest possible recommendation.

Brendan Kidd wont let you down. This was by far the best exprerience I've ever had with an attorney. Brendan has a way of explaining the legal jargon so its incredibley easy to understand. He mapped out all of our options, gave the ramifications to each possible outcome, and in the end let us make our own choices based on the facts. He went out of his way to make sure we informed and up to speed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone needing a great attorney.

Mr. Kidd is the man! He is super easy to talk to and get a hold of whenever you need him and he really cares about the clients bests interests. My case was resolved in a timely matter and had a much better outcome than anything I could have expected. You can tell he is passionate about his career and he did a great job representing me.

I contacted Mr. Kidd after I received a moving traffic violation. This being my first ticket, he clearly laid out the options. Paperwork was completed quickly and with ease! I will trust future legal needs to Mr. Kidd.

I was faced with a DUI arrest and quickly realized that the process of defending my case was bewildering. Each case is unique and I knew I needed an attorney to help me negotiate my way through the daunting legal system. I called some colleagues and Cooney Law Practice was recommended highly as a criminal defense firm. I met with J Brendan Kidd and immediately was impressed with his calming and caring demeaner. He thoroughly reviewed my case and eased my fears and emotional stress by explaining in detail what he could do for me. I can not emphasize enough that a competent attorney is absolutely crucial if you are faced with criminal charges. J Brendan Kidd proved to be that competent attorney! He was very responsive when I called and had questions about my case. He was very clear when he instructed me as to what I could do to help my case. I felt very comfortable trusting Brendan. I did everything he asked of me and felt fully prepared when I appeared in Court to defend my case (there IS a lot you can do to help yourself in these matters, but without Brendan's guidance I would NEVER have known what I needed to do to ensure the best outcome for me). When it came to plea-negotiations, his knowledge of the Law and his relationships with court officials made his reasonable fee seem like the bargain of the century! At the hearing, the Judge looked over my case-jacket and the thorough work he had prepared put the best possible scenario in play. I AM ABSOLUTELY satisfied with how Brendan handled my case and the outcome I received. I could NEVER have done this on my own and Brendan's personal service and attention would not have been equaled by a public defender. This experience proved to me the importance of good, quality representation in criminal matters brought before the Court. J Brendan Kidd is that quality, professional representation! -Thank you Brendan for making a potentially devastating event into a "beneficial experience" for me.

Connection: I met Brendan in the worst moment of my life. He gave his best to my worst. He answered every question, honestly evaluated my case with me, and then led me through the facets of a criminal defense. He outlined his strategy and enabled me to make informed decisions. Contact: Throughout the long process of waiting for charges and the trial, he kept me informed and was accessible. Every email was responded to expediently. If he was unavailable for a phone call, he returned the call within 24 hours. He kept me in the loop. Communicator: He is well spoken. He handles himself in a professional manner. He spoke in terms I could understand. When in court he shines. He represents you well. He suits up. When speaking to the court he is polished. Conclusion: Start to finish, my court process was just under 1 year. In that time he went to war for me. I received the best possible outcome. We parted friends and still keep in contact. I would recommend Brendan to anybody I know.

Charged with Felony Theft 1, I consulted with Mr. Kidd and from the outset he was knowledgeable about the charge, the potential consequences and outlined a plan of action. He took copious notes and developed a well-documented case. He introduced me to other members of the staff with whom I would interact and the level of professionalism from all the staff was outstanding. As a result of Mr. Kidd's uncomprised representation, my case was dismissed without prejudice. John Kidd comes with my highest recommendation.

I am very impressed how everyone in Mr. Kidds office worked together to solve questionable issues. Mr. Kidd and his staff always answered my questions and returned all my phone calls in a timely manner. That means allot to people who are worried and care about their future. Unlike other attorney's I've had, Mr. Kidd treated me like a normal person and judged me for who I am and not what I have done.
