Kennys Solicitors & Imogen Manuel
Following a distressing experience with the long standing and so-called reputable solicitor of an elderly relative, the need to find a solicitors practice that operated with integrity became of paramount urgency.
Eventually, I discovered Kennys Solicitor’s and what stood out immediately was that this was a practice run predominantly by women. Due to our particular circumstances, this was very much a positive as we were anxious to find somewhere we were confident that our elderly relative would not feel overwhelmed if visiting alone and where they would be listened to with understanding and sensitivity. The second major plus was the fact the practice lists their charges and fee structure openly on their website, a sign of integrity and a feature that many other lawyers could benefit both themselves and their clients by adopting the same strategy.
Within 24 hours of my initial contact with the practice I was speaking with Imogen Manuel about the various problems and issues that needed to be addressed and very quickly she organised an action plan to tackle these. In legalistic terms I personally found Imogen’s approach a breath of fresh air. She is extremely knowledgably and if there was something outside her field of experience, she would relay this straight away rather than pretend otherwise.
As is often the case with legal affairs, it has been a long journey to resolve matters. I was so impressed with Imogen’s approach that we asked her to take over the rewriting of our Wills and to incorporate certain things that we had previously been told by another legal practice were not possible.
Based on my experience and the excellent advice and guidance, I have no hesitation in recommending Imogen. Finally, a good practice is about teamwork, Penny Cawte, her assistant is an excellent administrator and ensures everything runs smoothly.

Excellent service
At last, we have found with Kenny’s, the excellent, friendly, professional service that we have long been searching for and are extremely happy that everything is now in very safe hands.
Since the day of our first visit, we have always been warmly welcomed at Kenny’s. Imogen and her team have looked after us exceptionally well when we have been to the Old Market House Offices and have always responded swiftly to our phone calls and emails, dealing with our queries courteously and efficiently.
We have recently written our Wills. Imogen guided us expertly through the process, explaining the more detailed aspects of the Will very clearly, making good recommendations where we had doubts on specific legacies, never baffling us with unnecessary legal jargon and helping us to achieve the completed item just as we had planned.
Making a Will is one of the important matters that we all have to consider. Thank you so much Imogen for succeeding, where others have failed, and helping to make something that can be difficult to deal with, so straightforward and uncomplicated for us.

Imogen Manuel was a delight to deal with
Imogen drafted my wills and throughout she was friendly, kind and incredibly patient with my queries, which I'm sure were tiresome by the end! Despite my never ending questions and complete ignorance about how these things work Imogen remained professional, compassionate and cheerful. I would (and have!) recommended all her services to my friends and family.
