Over and above the efficient, knowledgeable and practical approach displayed by Laura my solicitor. It was the very genuine interest and support given by Laura's PA Hayley that made a stressful undertaking more bearable. Her patience in explaining things, regular communication and simply understanding how complex and testing a first time purchase can be, made all the difference. Thank you Hayley.

Angela Ireland dealt with my will and probate. Angela is extremely thorough and knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Angela and would instruct services again if required and will recommend to friends.

I was extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism I received during my application process. I was kept well-informed about the steps, expectations, and timeline, which was incredibly helpful.
Thanks to Emel's expertise, my application was successful, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. As anyone who has gone through this process knows, it can be incredibly stressful, and having a professional like Emel made all the difference.
Thank you, Emel!

The effort Ms. Emel showed during the preparation and application phase of our application was very valuable for me and my family. We will be very happy to work with her again in our next indefinite leave to Remain application. Working with such a professional company and someone like Ms. Emel really made us feel comfortable.

Lindsey Luke and Caroline were the members of Barker Gotelee I had dealings with, all of of whom for different reasons and on different occasions were excellent from the start of an estate probate process, through the conveyancing of a property to the conclusion. Professional, clear in costings, friendly, timely and approachable. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Sam was understanding to my case and thoroughly knowledgable in his field. He explained things clearly in plain English, covering all relevant issues and answered all my questions. He was extremely helpful resolving my case in a very timely manner. He was friendly, without compromising professionalism. Should I need a solicitor again, I would not hesitate to contact Sam to see if he could advise me legally in the future and believe he is asset to the Barker Gotelee business.
I have described the firm based on my experience with Sam and as such it is nothing but positive.

My experience with Barker Gotelee has been exceptional, very friendly, warm atmosphere, helpful and knowledgeable. My solicitor was very friendly and understanding. All my questions and queries were answered with appropriate explanations where needed. All the paperwork I received came with 'an interpretation' sheet, which I found very helpful. Communication over the phone was equally excellent, very prompt and friendly. No waiting for a call back for hours or being on hold for ages.

I have only spoken briefly to a member of their conveyancing team on a slight legal matter via a telephone call. But the service and advice I was given was very professional and put my mind at ease.

A great company who like true chess players, helped me outclass, outfight and outmaneuver my siblings during a highly contentious probate process, something that my siblings further escalated by making totally false accusations against me and further complicating the issue by trying to take me to court. it was a pleasure seeing my sister finally get her comeuppance; being put in a humiliating position; pulling out of the false legal action against me; and subsequently being forced to pay my legal fees in the end.
I would therefore definitely recommend Barker Gotelee solicitors. I would like to thank and recommend Nick Palmer for his impeccable patience, stoicism and virtue during what was a very stressful time for me and the friendly staff who helped me through what was a difficult time, but I managed to get through.

Barker Gotelee recently helped with both the sale of my property and the purchase of a new house and I was extremely happy with the service provided. Nicola Cawthorne was always quick to respond to any enquiries, communication was excellent throughout and was also incredibly patient with various changes that took place to the properties we were buying over a 10 month period from start to finish. I would highly recommend Barker Gotelee if you are buying or selling!
