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

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.

I have recently used Jackie from Barcan & Kirby for the purchase of my new home and I am very pleased with the service that I have received. Jackie is very professional, knowledgeable and approachable and I felt confident and well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Jackie and Barcan & Kirby to anyone in need of conveyancing services.

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

We recently used Barcan+Kirby Solicitors for the legal side of purchasing our first home, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Buying your first house can be quite stressful and confusing at times, but the whole team made the process much easier to understand and were always helpful and professional. They kept us informed throughout the process, answered any questions we had, and helped everything move along as smoothly as possible. We really appreciated all of their hard work and support in helping us purchase our first home. We would highly recommend Barcan+Kirby to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and friendly solicitor, especially if you’re buying your first property. Thank you again for all your help in making such an important milestone possible for us!
