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.

Great service
"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"

Dreadful
Patronised. Instructions ignored. Did things unauthorised and charged me for them.

Richard
Failed to inform me on the risks involved with following their advice
I would not recommend Barcan+Kirby. They did not inform me of the risks involved with following their litigation advice because, in their words, they did not want the implications of being locked into an appeal process to cause alarm. Having then spent thousands with firm, I had to withdraw from the court process with no outcome. I then transferred to another firm of solicitors and after receiving much better advice and customer care, I concluded my application for a leasehold extension, at a fraction of the cost I had spent with Barcan+Kirby.
A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review
Thank you taking the time to leave your feedback, Richard. We apologise that our service didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion. Looking into your matter, it seems that there were complexities in the case that were out of our control, and that our team has dealt with your feedback accordingly. We are very sorry that we can’t assist you any further.

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.

I chose Barcan-Kirby based on the reviews online having previously experienced poor service from others when moving house. Thankfully they were a breath of fresh air, both Farah Akram and Janice Jones, always on top of all queries, the only challenge was that the buyer’s solicitors were not as proactive and professional. Thankfully you both Farah and Janice. I would certainly recommend both Farah and Janice, as well as Barcan+Kirby Richard Barrett

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.
