"Myfanwy Buckeridge and her team took on our personal injury case and worked tirelessly over 4 years to obtain the compensation that we deserved. Throughout the whole process we were kept up to date on all developments and fully briefed on how the case was proceeding and what was required of us."

"thoughtful, responsive, and commercially minded throughout. Rob also provided valuable support on a separate matter. What stood out most was the ability to have frank, open conversations around the practicalities of the deals, something that really helped get them over the line."

Charlotte is a brilliant and empathetic solicitor

Thank you so much Charlotte for your hard work and dedication, we really appreciate it. You are an asset to Barcan + Kirby. Best wishes, Rita and family.

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.

Victoria Stone

Our case hasn't completed yet, but I feel I need to let some positivity out right now considering how awful our chain is. I obviously won't go into details about why our chain has been so, so bad other than useless solicitors... but the only positive thing in this process was our choice of solicitor: Victoria Stone. Victoria is the only reason I have been remained semi sane. She has been put through her paces in this process and gone above and beyond. I never have to chase her or get stressed about her. Her professionalism and personable character has been a life saver in this process. She has been totally competent, dealing with issues that are ACTUALLY issues (unlike other solicitors in this chain), she responds in a timely manner and even more importantly is that she will listen to my rant every so often because this process has just been soul destroying. All I can say is that if we had had 5 lots of Victoria's in our chain, we would have moved into that house at the beginning of Summer, not 6 months later still wondering if we'll ever move. So Barkin and Kirby, you have a keeper there as I will, without a doubt recommend her to anyone and everyone. Whilst the journey we have been on together has been nothing short of terrible - she's been a total pleasure to work with. Thanks, A&A

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.

Excellent service and outstanding support

Having instructed Emma to act on my behalf through the family courts, I have received nothing, but support and excellent communication throughout my whole experience. Nothing is was too much trouble , I felt constantly kept in the loop. I was easily able to contact Emma if I needed further clarification or reassurance. I would highly recommend Emma Roche to anyone who is considering instructing Barcan and Kirby.

Choosing the right solicitors for the purchase of our first home felt like such an important decision, and we truly couldn’t have made a better choice than Barcan and Kirby. We worked with Abigail and Toby who, from start to finish, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Whenever we had questions, they took the time to answer them thoroughly and with such genuine patience and kindness. There was never any such thing as a silly question, and they always made us feel completely supported and reassured throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, diligence and efficiency far exceeded our expectations. They consistently went above and beyond, keeping everything moving at an impressive pace while ensuring we always understood what was happening. It was clear from the very beginning that they genuinely cared about providing the very best service. A special thank you to Toby, who was an absolute joy to work with. He was incredibly accommodating, responsive and diligent with every query we had - always taking the time to help and making us feel like nothing was ever too much trouble. Buying your first home can feel incredibly daunting, but thanks to Abigail and Toby’s hard work, professionalism and genuine care, the whole process was surprisingly stress-free. We always felt informed, supported and valued, and it made such a difference to our experience. We are so grateful for everything Abigail and Toby did to help us purchase our first home and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional solicitors. Thank you both for making such an important milestone such a positive and memorable experience!

Jenny and the team made my purchase a pleasurable experience - considerably different from my previous solicitors. I was kept constantly informed of any updates, and even if Jenny was away there was someone there willing to help me. Everyone I dealt with was unbelievably helpful, but just as importantly everyone was kind and good spirited. Thank you all for such a great experience - you’ve got a customer for life!

Following my appointment with Barcan+Kirby Solicitors in Thornbury, Bristol, I have nothing but total praise for Lucy Amos the solicitor I dealt with ! Lucy immediately understood my requirements and following good advice proceeded to produce the legal document that I requested. I have no hesitation in recommending Barcan+Kirby for any legal documentation you may require.

I highly recommend Laura as a family solicitor. She handled my case with exceptional professionalism and genuine care. From the very beginning, she listened compassionately and showed real empathy, which made the whole process far less stressful. Laura explained everything clearly and kept me well informed throughout. Her attention to detail and dedication were outstanding. If you need a skilled and caring family solicitor, Laura is excellent — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or use her services again. Thank you, Laura, Jack and everyone at Barcan + Kirby.

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.
