I had a difficult case and Barcan&Kirby helped enormously with resolving it as painlessly as possible! I highly recommend all staff, but especially Mark Scanlon and Helene Bryant. Exceptional people and highly recommend!

i have experienced a flawless and congenial service in the context of an inherently very complicated Legal process (setting up two LPAs). Then also had trust Will prepared by the same team.

professional and courteous but slow to respond to queries or actions needed, to the point that we sought trust fund advice elsewhere successfully. perceived that our case was low priority or too difficult proven by the speed in handing over responsibility (for a fee) for the probate to be dealt with by us.

Hugely impressed with Helene's expertise and knowledge of all aspects of the matter, especially tax issues. she guided us through everything with real care and Grants were issued more quickly than expected.

the solicitor dealing with the administration of the trust, although obviously very skilled in her field, was totally lacking in customer skills.
emails that i sent to her for information, appeared many times to be ignored or took a long time for any sort of response.
if she had replied saying that she was very busy & would deal as soon as she could, which would only have taken a few seconds, i would have been happy.
to not respond left me wondering if i sent the email to the correct address, so i had to phone Barcan + Kirby to check.
maybe I'm being old fashioned, but i believe the lack of response to be unacceptable.
