Awful
I used Barcan & Kirby to support in divorce proceedings. During a difficult time they made things worse. I spent thousands of pounds dealing to get absolutely now where. Throughout the process was passed to 6 different solicitors, they need constant chasing after making promises they didn’t commit too.

The service I received was excellent. The fees were not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for.

I found Kirsten Hale at Barcan + Kirby to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and thorough, she was also very personable and kind. I felt looked after her and that she acted in my best interests at all times. She gave me very good, balanced and well informed advice, explained things in depth and guided me through what is a stressful process (divorce after a long marriage). I would (and have) highly recommended her expertise to anyone seeking good professional guidance in the same position. Many thanks to Barcan + Kirby's Queen Square team.

See exact sheet supplied (this reads) I instructed Kirsten Hale of Barca+Kirby to act on my behalf in my divorce. The whole divorce process is very stressful as it involves a major change in your life. settling the finances it all becomes quite difficult. There were many occasions where i needed to contact kirsten by phone or email just for reassurance and there was always a reply which was reassuring with an accurate view of the situation. I was never put in a position of feeling i did not know what was happening or what the end result was likely to be. Things inevitability take longer than you hope but in the end a satisfactory and fair settlement was achieved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirsten to act for anyone in a divorce situation.
