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

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.

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.

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.

I cannot recommend Abigail enough for anyone navigating family law matters. From our very first interaction, she demonstrated clear and in-depth knowledge of her field, always breaking things down in clear context so I completely understood where I stood. Going through a very stressful time in my life, Abigail went above and beyond to keep me calm and made the process as stress-free as possible. She is so friendly, approachable, and genuinely relates to how you're feeling, offering incredible empathy alongside her professional expertise. Her unwavering support has meant the world to me, and I will be forever grateful for everything she has done.

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.

This was our first interaction with Barcan+Kirby. We met Elsie on a networking event for Nursery Business owners. She has dealt very professionally and thoroughly with the purchase of our nursery; she provided sector knowledge and brought the different stakeholders together.

I have used Barcan + Kirby twice for conveyancing services and am very happy with the service received. The team was aware of my situation with previous Transfer of Equity and then a further purchase of new property. Communication has always been clear and prompt and required no chasing up. Laura Roberts and her team were very professional and reliable. I completed within 2 months which would not have been possible without their service. I will definitely use Barcan + Kirby again for any future legal queries.
