Thank you very much for all your help on the case, it’s helped me gain a lot of closure around the event especially the discussions I had with the doctors. The advice given has meant I’ve been back running again with minimal pain which has been by far the best thing to come from all of this!

Overall very pleased with your work and the team but would have preferred a couple of old school face to face meetings (see below for further details). Happy to recommend you to friends and use your services again. Laura, Robyn and Aishah were all professional and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!

We were grateful for your prompt attention and valued advice although the Royal Mail postal service to your Bedminster office did cause a significant delay.

We were really happy that we chose Barcan + Kirby to deal with our property sale and purchase. Their communication throughout the process was excellent. I never felt like I was chasing them, and they let us know clearly what they needed from us at every step. Everything went smoothly and they made a stressful experience of buying and selling a house with two young children as stress-free as it possible could be. We will definitely use this firm again.

I had used Barcan+Kirby previously and had no hesitation going back. This time I was supported by Julie Splaine, Amber Sutton and Becky George for a case involving my children. Despite the sensitive nature, I was given great advice and guidance, fully supported by Swift communication and any questions I had were always responded to in a very timely manner. Conclusion of the case seen a great result that was in the best interests of the children.

Thanks to the team that supported me for the last 7 months.

I contacted the Bedminster branch of Barcan-Kirkby for a conveyancing quote between Christmas and New Year 2024. Unfortunately, I received a reply only on 07/01/2025. This significant delay in response suggests any subsequent property transaction could also be handled slowly, potentially causing the purchase to fail, while disbursements and/or charges for work already performed would still apply. As a result, I chose not to proceed with their services. The lack of timely action is disappointing, and for this reason I cannot recommend this firm, based on my limited experience. Hopefully, this review will help improve response times and strengthen the company in the future.
