I would highly recommend Sarah at the Kingswood branch, she was very helpful all throughout the long process of selling my property. Contact was kept throughout and I was always kept up to date with everything going on. I can't thank Sarah enough.

Fantastic support

Charlotte, Jamie and team have been a fantastic support for me and my daughter. I instantly felt in safe hands after speaking to Charlotte earlier this year. Since then, my case has been handled with great care and I have been given peace of mind, despite very challenging circumstances.

I would definitely recommend Barcan+Kirby to anyone facing a challenging family situation.

I have been in litigation for exactly 2 years, I done my homework and researched law companies. The choice i made to employ Barcan Kirby 2 years ago was the best decision i ve made.
From start, Mark Scanlon, true professional.
Then, with Joelle Allen of Probate team, outstanding compassion and brilliant administration and legal skills.
Ending with Abigail in convencing, Professional understanding from beginning to end. Perfect.
I definitely realize that the last 2 years would have been sooo different if i did not make a decision to change my legal representation to Barcan Kirby, as regards my situation.
I trust Barcan to be my executer, and absolutly any future legal issues. To the team,,,,,,i thank you everyone ,,,,Mark woodman

Kim and Abigail at Barcan Kirby supported us through the sale of our house. They kept us up to date with everything that was happening. They made a stressful time for us much easier. I would highly recommend them if you are planning to sell your house.
