The Law Offices of Kidwell & Kent

After thorough exploration for legal services, I was fortunate to choose John Kidwell for my estate plan. Unlike other attorneys, he took the time to comprehensively explain everything, making me feel understood. The pricing was reasonable compared to other firms. John's efficiency, clear explanations, and attentive approach made the process seamless. The staff at Kidwell & Kent were personable, reliable, and communicated wonderfully. I've already referred my mom and family, and I highly recommend Kidwell & Kent for anyone looking to organize their Estate Planning!

I am extremely satisfied with this family-owned law firm specializing in settlements, trust, and wills, particularly for my elderly parents. Mr. Kidwell's expertise and in-depth knowledge of the law have been invaluable. The personalized service and commitment to understanding our family's needs make them the ideal choice. Highly recommend this firm for their excellent legal support.

I worked with Mr.Justin and he did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Justin and will be referring to Justin in the future. He is very helpful beyond the case and very polite. Being as though this was my first car accident and it wasn't my fault I feel as though he handled it very well. If you are ever in a accident that's not your fault I highly recommend fighting this case with Justin, he will make sure you get what you deserve. Very professional and responsive. Again I highly recommend Justin.

I had a fantastic experience with this Maryland-based law firm for my estate planning. The team was incredibly helpful and delightful to work with. Mr. Kidwell, in particular, did an excellent job explaining my options. I highly recommend their services.

Terribly inefficient, unprofessional, and barely above template forms you can purchase at Staples. I used Kidwell and Kent because of a "Legal Resources" benefit from my work. I needed what I thought was straightforward. A family trust, will, and POA. It began with a long financial intake form that was literally never used again. It was likely only used to try and get upsold for financial planning services. The process took ~1.5 years to complete. Required many follow-up emails by me. And when done, basic things like filling in the requests for advanced directives weren't actually filled in. They were blank and at signing we were told to fill them in on our own, which begs the question... what are we paying for? A PDF template? The signing had to be in person. The office was a barely a staffed, dusty, condo-coverted-to-office setup. The tables had crusty debris. Noone was even at the check-in desk for several minutes. And after the signing, it tool 3+ months to finalize paperwork. I had repeatedly asked how long it would take and was told 2-3 weeks. But it wasn't until 2 months after signing when I started email John Kidwell directly and any staff I had been contacted by that I got a very different story. Even if this is true, they were repeatedly late and needed reminders and requests from me. E.g. "No, I don't need an overnight FedEx of the paperwork, I just need you to send the paperwork sitting on your desk since last week that you said you would mail." This is a small shop office, inefficient, and staffed by people that I felt were not well-verse in basic legal matters. The only positive thing I will say is that John Kidwell himself did spend a good amount of his time explaining at the start and in final revisions. He seemed knowledgable and approachable. Everything in between?... Terrible.
