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"

There's a fair amount of negativity when it comes to solicitors and conveyancing, but the service we had for our purchase and sale was first rate. Really pleasant team, responsive, helpful, and informative. Hats off to all.

We worked with Barcan+Kirby on a number of acquisitions and found Oli and George to be 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.

Throughout the whole process of selling my old property and purchasing my new property, the team providing an outstanding service. They regularly updated me of how things were progressing and kept on top of missing paperwork from third parties without any prompting. One particular thing I would like to mention that made all the difference, was when you had a query or something actioned urgently, it didn't matter who you contacted in the team, they always knew your particular details and could help resolved things quickly. They were a wonderful team, professional and very friendly. It made a stressful process feel much easier to live through. Without hesitation, I would recommend them to family and friends.

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.

Clinical Negligence
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.

I would highly recommend Gareth. He was patient, supportive and always took the time to explain things clearly. Communication was excellent throughout and I always felt well informed. His negotiation skills were outstanding and he worked hard to achieve the outcome I was hoping for. I am very grateful for his professionalism, dedication and support throughout the process. I am relieved to have been able to agree on an outcome without needing to involve the courts, therefore keeping my costs as low as possible. Thank you.
