I spoke to Micheal for 20 minutes and he gave me so much advice and correct information, I can’t thank him enough. Very professional and extremely generous with his knowledge and advice. Would recommend Micheal to anyone in need of legal advice.

Clear and Helpful

It is rare to find a solicitor willing to provide guidance for free, however Michael Horne was very clear and helpful in his advice. I got more from a 10-15 minute call with him than I did from hours of trying to find information online. Much appreciated - would recommend.

Michael was very helpful in providing initial information regarding a problem I currently have. Actually steered me in another direction away from legal action at this stage - very good

Today I had occasion to contact Michael Horne of Kidwells Solicitors(Bristol), as I was so incensed at receiving a debt collection notice for an offense committed at Bristol airport of stopping momentarily on red lines. Two parking charges were raised by the private company in charge of overseeing the airport. I was in dispute with the company and wrote two letters explaining the situation. I received a reply to one charge rejecting my reasons for non payment so I decided to pay this. However, I never received a reply for the second charge either confirming the charge or laying it aside. The debt collection agency when phoned, said a letter had been sent out via the Post Office, but we had never received this letter. We were told that until paid this debt would incur daily charges, at this point I contacted Kidwells.
Speaking about the offences in question Michael Horne was very helpful in explaining that under law , two offences had been committed and although we could proceed with fighting this in court, the costs if we were not successful would far outweigh the debt that had been incurred. He gave this advice freely and did not seek any recompense, and wished us well with our proceedings. For this, I thank him, and for the understanding way he treated our complaint. I would thoroughly recommend Kidwells, Bristol from our experience and will certainlyuse them if needed in the future.

I rang Kidwells solicitors looking for advice.
I spoke within minutes to Micheal Horne who was informative, warm and supportive, immediately putting my mind at rest and giving me a clearer vision of how to move forward with my situation.
There was no charge.
I easily had 15 minutes of advice. Cannot fault them.
Thank you Micheal.
