AVOID! if you don't want to put money down the drain !!!!

These solicitors are greedy and rip you off your money without providing anything useful. I can't express how disappointed and angry I am with their service. We had an initial consultation for a discounted price (£180, after that £264) with one of their associates. What seemed to be a nice and understanding solicitor in the beginning, then ripped us off an additional £460 for nothing we could use for our case. During the initial consultation, the solicitor provided us with some useful information regarding an ongoing neighbour dispute. After that, we tried getting in touch with the lawyer again via email and phone and all attempts to get in touch were in vain. We then decided to put £500 as a retainer on their account, just in case we would need them in the future to write a formal letter to our neighbours - nothing was agreed on though at that point. My husband was just too good-hearted to think that they would reimburse us the money if we did not take their service. However, when we ONLY ASKED FOR A QUOTE for said letter in an email where my husband spent ages researching himself what should be included, the solicitor got back to us with a quote stating it would take her 6-7 hours to write said letter (appalling if you think how much their hourly rate is). At that point in time, we thought this is part of providing a free quote, as asking for a quote should not cost. (That was also the point when they asked us to leave a review on Google, considering we were still happy with their service - how hypocritical to rip us off afterwards). We did not agree to the quote and did not contact them again at that point in time, as we went on holiday when the worst of all things happened. While being on our babymoon holiday with me being 7 months pregnant, we received an email from said lawyer stating that they issued us with an invoice of approximately £460 for 'all the work that had been done'. Receiving useful information in a consultation and paying for it is fine. But being charged for email correspondence where the solicitor only gives you a quote for POTENTIAL work to be done and being charged £460 for it is simply DISGUSTING. Dealing with Barcan + Kirby caused anxiety, distress and panic for me and they well knew/know that I am pregnant. Even after writing a complaint email, they still insisted on charging us for nothing they provided. We were left with no letter, but £460 less on our account that would have been more useful to spend on our baby. Conclusion: 1. AVOID AVOID AVOID these greedy people as there must be better lawyers in this world who do not rip you off for no service provided and actually care about you as a person. 2. Do not bother to hire this firm as they only respond even to simple queries if you pay them upfront. Otherwise, they don't bother to call back or reply to emails. 3. Be ready to be charged for no outcome at all if you decide against their quote. It is as if you wiped your bottom with £460 and flushed it down the toilet. 4. I would have given -5 stars if I had the chance - NEVER AGAIN !!!!!

Most impressed.

Having had very little, if anything, to do with solicitors before, I was a little apprehensive about what to expect. However, I was made to feel completely at ease by friendly staff at every stage of my enquiry, especially the solicitor I dealt with over an employment issue who impressed me considerably with her knowledge, professionalism and friendly approach. A possibly daunting experience turned out to be both successful and enjoyable!

Not good

Had conveyancing practice deal with the purchase of a new home for me 4 years ago, & I’m still being told by lenders that part of the property doesn’t belong to me!!

A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review

Hi Elaine, as discussed with Kim, all relevant documents outlining your ownership of the property have been shared with you. During your recent phone conversation with her, you confirmed you are uncertain about which of part the property is not owned. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t any further assistance we’re able to provide at this stage.

Thanks so much, from Lynn & Gary

Thanks so much from Lynn & Gary Our Review referring to: Barcan+Kirby Kingswood & Bedminster Branch staff. We have very recently completed the sale of our late mother’s bungalow via CJ Hole - Kingswood Branch, Barcan+Kirby were amongst a list of recommended Solicitors to consider using received from CJ Hole. The whole process from our first meeting with representatives from both the Kingswood and Bedminster branch right through to final completion, we found the process to be completely stress free. The team coordinated all requirements efficiently and effectively. They were excellent at keeping us up to date on all aspects of progress. We would like to add a special thanks to Caleb Kay, Laura Roberts & Robyn Eamer who we found all extremely helpful. We can’t thank the team enough for their expertise and knowledge, time, care and support. We highly recommended them. Thank you all.
