About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

"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"

The Solicitor we used had good experience and understanding of the aera of law we were focusing on - trust. she advised us well, but the length of time we had to wait was too long, and i had to chase on numerous occasions.

Hi Denise, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry there was a delay and that you had to chase for updates, this was due to your solicitor having to take compassionate leave. If there’s anything you would like to discuss further, please email hello@barcankirby.co.uk or your solicitor directly.

Maggie and Emma have been amazing every step of the way in my property purchase. As a FTB I was mostly clueless of the process, but all queries were responded to quickly with great communication throughout the process. They were also very quick and organised, with the entire process completed in around 2 months! Highly recommend Barcan+Kirby and thank you for all your help!

Litigation / Dispute Resolution
The reason for contacting a new firm of solicitors was to ask for an opinion on the course of action taken by my mother's solicitors, as I have the LPA for her. It was difficult to convey the details without entering into a time consuming exercise and therefore a costly one! However, an opinion was eventually given and I was satisfied with the outcome, but only after I had to change solicitors after a wait due to the fact that the first contact was on leave etc. Trying to contact the solicitor to ask a final question, took ages.

Charlotte is a brilliant and empathetic solicitor
Charlotte supported me and my family through a heartbreaking period with equal parts professionalism and empathy and a deep knowledge of the subject matter when we needed it most. 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.

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.
