We were advised by Charlotte Barbaroussis. Her dealings were very professional. She was pleasant easy to deal with and very approachable. Her help during the process of setting up my wife's and my will made the task a lot easier.

I dealt with Pippa Marshall for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend who worked with Pippa for his complicated divorce. She was very professional and very informative. Pippa took her time to go through every aspect, and I really felt like she was fighting my corner. Unfortunately I became a widower before I became a divorcee, and when this happened Pippa was supportive and empathetic to the situation but remained professional at all times. I can’t recommend her highly enough

I was very impressed and thankful for the service I received from Patrick. He was very meticulous in his review of the documentation provided, took the time to discuss contentious points with me and proposed the most reasonable timely approach in resolving these issues. Patrick was always very understanding of my situation, professional and prompt in his response which is extremely important with redundancy negotiations.

James McMullan, at what was Barker Gillette, has looked after my affairs for many years now and it is reassuring to have solicitors that I trust implicitly. Charlotte was an excellent addition to the team and I was impressed from her arrival with her prompt replies and general efficiency.

Martin handled the purchase of my first property and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Martin always made himself available for any or all questions, provided sound advice throughout the process and held our hands as first time buyers. Would absolutely recommend Martin and RIAA BC team.

Whenever I've spoken to anyone about the house buying process, one of the first things that crops up is the struggle to find a good solicitor - which prompts me to recommend Martin Alfreds to them. We were lucky enough to have Martin conveyancing on our first purchase back in 2017, and when we decided to move this year to accommodate our growing family, he was the first person we contacted as soon as our offer was accepted.
Martin is pro-active and tenacious, but always with good humour and grace, and will keep you informed throughout. Our recent sale became increasingly fraught as target dates came and went due to issues elsewhere in the chain, but he remained calm and patient while pushing for a conclusion, and I genuinely think it may otherwise have fallen through if it wasn't for Martin's guidance and efficiency.
We've now been in our new property for 4 weeks and the kids are settling in well - we'll always be hugely grateful for Martin and everything he's done to set up the latest chapter in our family's life together.

Martin Alfreds of RIAA Barker Gillette helped me get my dream home as a first time solo buyer.
Originally from a different country I had no idea where to start, I'm also self-employed and the property was newly converted, next to a river so there had to be lot of legal questions asked and responses reviewed to ensure it is a safe buy. He always responded within hours to my emails, always picked up the phone and guided me through a process that otherwise would have been very painful. Highly recommend working with Martin, he and his team has been a pleasure to deal with.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Alfred's at Barker Gillette for his excellent service in handling the conveyancing for my recent property sale and purchase.
Having used solicitors in the past and not having a great experiences, the whole process was a pleasant surprise. I was immediately put at ease by Martin's friendly and professional manner. He took the time to explain the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise way.
Martin was always available to answer my calls or emails, and him and the team always responded promptly. They kept me updated on the progress of the sale and purchase throughout, and they were always happy to go the extra mile to help me.
I was particularly impressed with Martin's attention to detail. He made sure that all of the paperwork was completed correctly, and was were always on the lookout for any potential problems.
I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor. Barker Gillette are professional, efficient, and friendly. I am very grateful for their help in making my property sale and purchase a smooth and stress-free experience."
Overall, I was very happy with the service I received from Martin and the team at RIAA Barker Gillette. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor.

RIAABG have simply been outstanding and have always gone above and beyond.
They carefully guided me as an entrepreneur with a crazy dream through to a multi-million pound fundraise to build a luxury fitness facility in the heart of Canary Wharf.
Not only did they provide budget-friendly but complex advice, they honoured fixed price commitments even when the original scope expanded considerably.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Here's to a long and prosperous partnership together.

Incompetent firm, still waiting for a single genuine advice. They are counting hours without delivering anything substantial. I strongly discourage it!
