"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."

Abi and her team acted for us on a recent sale and purchase and they acted swiftly, very professionally and although I had lower quotes, they were well worth their fee. They were approachable and always available via phone and email. They made an always stressful process far easier

Life changing result

Having spent 7 years with Richard dealing with my extremely complicated case, which many would have given up on, I can only offer the very highest praise.His hard work, attention to detail and never give up attitude resulted in a settlement way beyond my expectations and deserves every one of the 5 star rating. I will miss my contact with him. If you are looking for a winner, do not bypass Richard Harries. He is the most caring professional I have ever dealt with.

Formidable force

This review has taken much time to consider due to the profound effect Charlotte Wait has had on my life. Charlotte is an exceptional solicitor. Family law processes begin by divulging the most intimate, private and painful experiences you've ever faced, to a complete stranger. Charlotte was my stranger. The evolution from stranger to solid rock, will forever astound me. Charlotte gave me hope when I felt h.opeless, power when I felt powerless and validation that provided me with the fuel I needed to keep moving forward for justice. Charlotte believed in me, particularly at the times, when I couldn't. Despite my emotive review, Charlotte has incredible professionalism, honesty, clarity, excellent family law expertise and all the extensive legal knowledge required, needed and wanted. Charlotte kept me informed and ensured I had full knowledge and understanding of every legal stage and process. Charlotte possesses the kind of demeanour that every client needs. Passion, diligence, unwavering support and motivation. I am so very very lucky to have been held in her safe capable hands. I will never be able to effectively articulate just what an incredible solicitor Charlotte Wait is. Nor how she helped me and changed my life, at my most vulnerable time. Nothing I say or write, can ever truly depict the formidable force she is. Thank you Charlotte for helping me find my way back home... to me, but most importantly for ensuring my family were able to get the safety and protection they needed and deserved. I came out of the family court process a different woman, a woman whom I am now proud of. If you need a family law solicitor - Charlotte Wait is the one.

Barcan+Kirby Solicitors came very highly recommended and did not disappoint. At a very challenging time, they were extremely supportive to myself and my husband as we navigated a complicated and traumatic construction dispute. We are particularly grateful to Alicia Bouarada for the care and attention she gave to our case. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in need of legal representation, I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm, and Alicia in particular.

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!

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.

Residential Conveyancing

We are very happy with the service Barcan and Kirby provided. We were selling a flat that we have owned for a number of years and knew it would take some time due to having to navigate the changes in ground rent. As part of the sale we needed negotiate a deed of variation with the land lord. Sally expertise and guidance in the area were critical in getting us to the finish line. I can not speak highly enough of the service she provided to us and the effort in navigating some challenging stakeholders. Including the buyers solicitor who had to practically be coached through the entire process. A massive thank you from Gemma and I for helping us get our flat sold.
