Formidable force

This review has taken much time to consider due to the profound effect Charlotte Wait has had on my life.

Charlotte is an exceptional solicitor.

Family law processes begin by divulging the most intimate, private and painful experiences you've ever faced, to a complete stranger.

Charlotte was my stranger. The evolution from stranger to solid rock, will forever astound me. Charlotte gave me hope when I felt h.opeless, power when I felt powerless and validation that provided me with the fuel I needed to keep moving forward for justice. Charlotte believed in me, particularly at the times, when I couldn't.

Despite my emotive review, Charlotte has incredible professionalism, honesty, clarity, excellent family law expertise and all the extensive legal knowledge required, needed and wanted. Charlotte kept me informed and ensured I had full knowledge and understanding of every legal stage and process.

Charlotte possesses the kind of demeanour that every client needs. Passion, diligence, unwavering support and motivation. I am so very very lucky to have been held in her safe capable hands.

I will never be able to effectively articulate just what an incredible solicitor Charlotte Wait is. Nor how she helped me and changed my life, at my most vulnerable time. Nothing I say or write, can ever truly depict the formidable force she is.

Thank you Charlotte for helping me find my way back home... to me, but most importantly for ensuring my family were able to get the safety and protection they needed and deserved. I came out of the family court process a different woman, a woman whom I am now proud of.

If you need a family law solicitor - Charlotte Wait is the one.

Many thanks to Ms Allen and colleague Caleb for suggesting that, as i could not attend their office to sign my will due to medical incapacity, they were happy to come to my home for the will signing. David Ambler.

Totally professional, exceptionally well organised and completely focused on the job in hand - whilst at the same time being friendly, approachable and happy to explain things to the lay person such as myself. I cannot recommend highly enough as they removed all the normal stress you expect with legalities of purchasing & selling properties. The B&K team handled everything and i could not ask for more.
I will happily use again with complete confidence on any future legal requirements I may have.

I used Barcan+Kirby Solicitors for the conveyancing of my late fathers estate. Kim Pratt and Abigail Bratchel were absolutely fantastic. They made the process extremely quick and easy. They responded to emails and requests for information immediately. I would highly recommend using Barcan Kirby Solicitors for any legal matter. Thank you Kim and Abigail

Hands down the best solicitors I’ve ever used! They completed conveyancing work on two of my properties and completely took the stress out of that part of the process with their efficient and constant communication. Nothing is too much for Kim and Abigail and they are a great team. Every-time I had to visit the office the front of house team were cheery and super helpful. What a refreshingly excellent experience! Thanks for all you’ve done
