Tom was very professional and helped me through an awkward time. Communication was excellent and the content of every email was very detailed and informative. Charlotte was also very helpful and supportive.

Fantastic support
Charlotte, Jamie and team have been a fantastic support for me and my daughter. I instantly felt in safe hands after speaking to Charlotte earlier this year. Since then, my case has been handled with great care and I have been given peace of mind, despite very challenging circumstances.
I would definitely recommend Barcan+Kirby to anyone facing a challenging family situation.

Highly recommend!!
Charlotte and her firm have been amazing throughout my incredibly stressful divorce and extra complications.
Not only was she professional and extremely knowledgeable, she was always available and approachable.
I cannot emphasise enough how important these factors were in getting through one of the worst experiences in my life at the sand time as helping me achieve a brilliant outcome. I hope I never have to use a solicitor again...but if I do, I'll be ringing Barcan & Kirby and asking for Charlotte!

Would highly recommend 👌
I contacted the team in very short notice to my hearing, we had a week then because I was applying for legal aid, getting my dv letter took a whole, so came down to 24hours to get the ball rolling properly, my solicitor was Charlotte, she is so friendly and reassured me all the way through the process and done an absoulty awesome job of organising everything within the 24hrs, they did amazingly well with the little bit of time they had, always kept me updated and communicated very clearly and sufficient, had fast replies to any questions or worries I had. Really friendly approach, made me feel at ease and comfortable.
I really can not recommend this team enough, absoutly amazing, they helped me get the best outcome for me and my children, so we are all happy and safe 😁
If I ever need to go to court again, I wouldn't hesitate getting back in contacted as I know I'm in safe hands and they make sure you get the best possible outcome.
Thank you so much for supporting me and my family 😊
