I worked with Samantha Castle at Barcan + Kirby on a sensitive employment case. Samantha was professional and empathetic. She clearly explained my options to me and was accommodating of my additional needs during the process. I am extremely happy with the service I received from Samantha and the business as a whole. The team are always friendly, professional and efficient, giving me full confidence in their work.

After my case was handled so badly by mi former solicitors, changing to Barcan and Kirby was the best decision during my claim. From beginning to end I have been treated with care and respect, and my case handled with incredible professionalism. I am SO thankful for the way my case has been concluded.
