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

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.

kind and understanding solicitors
I just want to say a big thank you to Joelle Allen from this firm, as she was so understanding and kind to me. I was initially booked to see her in the morning and I missed it (entirely my fault) but she had no problem seeing me later in the day, without hesitation. She certified my documents with no fuss and understood my needs. Highly recommend!

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.

My wife and I were recommended Ms Stainton a few years back when we were buying our first property together. Sally Stainton was excellent then and really went through every detail with a fine toothed comb. She put up with weeks of back and forth with some difficult conveyancing service, on the other side, that would not provide the answers to questions raised during the process. Sally kept her cool and did not let up until all questions were answered and we were satisfied with the answers. When it came to buying another property, I did not hesitate to call Sally again. This time Ms Stainton had moved to a new firm Barcan+Kirby. I was not aware of any previous reputation of Barcan+Kirby but would always put my trust in Ms Stainton, no matter where she worked. I had the pleasure of not just Sally handling the purchase this time. The Barcan+Kirby team of Ms Stainton, Ms Artess, Ms Gough and not forgetting Ms Mann all worked diligently on the new house purchase. All my silly questions and worries were addressed in a timely manner. I never felt rushed or pressured in any aspect by the Barcan+Kirby team. Even though the house price was not very expensive the Barcan+Kirby team made me feel like a valued client. I would thoroughly recommend the Barcan+Kirby team and if they hired Ms Stainton, it must be a quality firm.

Abi, Katrina, Shannon and the team helped with our new build purchase with part exchange/ sale of a flat. They provided helpful summaries of all of the searches and enquiries so that we understood them. They were very empathetic and reassuring when our transaction was drawn out by a large number of enquiries. The billing and completion statement element was clear and easy to follow. Thanks also to Nicole and Joanne who stepped in to cover during holidays. Thank you all for your hard work!
