Expertise and Professionalism
Pros:

"Stephen Parker was excellent in handling our recent conveyancing assignment. Always responsive, precise and to the point."
"Steve made the sale of our elderly mother's flat a very smooth process."
"James at Barcan + Kirby was extremely helpful in offering advice, giving an honest and concise appraisal."
"Fiona Dabell... was very professional and compassionate throughout my claim for medical negligence."

"I would highly recommend Samantha Castle at Barcan and Kirby within the Employment Law team."
"Iysha was incredibly helpful and professional during our consultation and followed up swiftly after."
Cons:
"The only good thing we can say is that the receptionist was helpful. Sadly after we made our payment... no word from them for weeks."
"Our only gripe was attention to detail in documents: incorrect dates, names spelt wrong etc."
"Terrible dealings with Barcan Kirby, they lied multiple times at trial to cover their own back."
"Complete waste of time and money ! Do not use this firm."
"Dreadful the receptionist or who answers the phone seems to run the place and decides on legal matters."
Communication and Responsiveness
Pros:
"The communication was good throughout, we knew what was going on Steve's team was responsive to our requests."
"Steve worked incredibly quickly to get both completed, and I can honestly say it I didn’t once worry or feel overwhelmed by the process."
"I found out during the process that I would have to unexpectedly move out of my rented flat early... B+K were very receptive of this."
"Sharlie was incredibly helpful - both informative and supportive. One call with Sharlie and I went from being on the back foot, to being on the front foot."
"Very efficient, always ahead of what was going on with our sale and most of all very personable, understanding and adaptable to our situation."
"I have used barcan and Kirby for my conveyancing on a few occasions and I found them to be extremely helpful and stress free."
"Speaking with 1 person throughout really made me feel cared for."
"The solicitor who dealt with my case is very competent with financial matters and managed to secure a financial deal for me."
Cons:
"We find ourselves in the position where having wasted that upfront fee (not cheap), are looking elsewhere for someone to represent our small business."
"The firm did not raise any comments or issues, or risk of not meeting the timeline for the first 3 weeks."
"Second time round, the sale - which was pretty straightforward - was painful. It was incredibly hard to contact anyone, there were constant delays."
"New build purchase; 28 days to exchange contract required by the developer; the firm did not raised any comments or issues, or risk of not meeting the timeline for the first 3 weeks."
"Follow-on queries don’t seem to receive the same attention or expedience as those where money is being discussed. Getting a simple response at times is rather slow."
Personalized and Empathetic Approach
Pros:
"Kirsten Hale (aided by Amber Sutton) at B+K Queen Square handled my divorce. She was really efficient and nice to deal with, she explained everything in stages as we went along, and had very good attention to detail."
"I would highly recommend Samantha Castle at Barcan and Kirby within the Employment Law team. She dealt with my case professionally with empathy and compassion."
"I was very pleased with the service that Charlotte and her colleagues provided. She kept me informed every step of the way and answered all of my enquiries promptly."
"I cannot highly recommend Barcan + Kirby solicitors enough, especially Fiona Dabell. Fiona took my case on in April 2019. I found her extremely professional, very empathetic, honest and supportive at all times."
"Kirsten Hale advised me on my divorce in an easy to understand manner that I could follow during a very stressful time in my life."
"I had the pleasure of working with Kirsty Bancroft after having a cycling accident and being hit by a car. They were super on top of things and gave me a no win no fee policy which really helped me."
"Iysha was incredibly helpful and professional during our consultation and followed up swiftly after the consultation."
"Exceptional service. Victoria McArthur covered the conveyancing on a sale and purchase in October. She was excellent in all aspects and I would highly recommend Victoria and Barcan + Kirby."
Cons:
"My only complaint would be the lack of compassion shown by one particular individual."
"I had the experience of a lady with a theatrical introduction as to how she could help, she dismissed my enquiry."
"Complete waste of time and money ! Do not use this firm. They made me pay upfront and not provided anything for 4 weeks."
"Dreadful the receptionist or who answers the phone seems to run the place and decides on legal matters, just ask to speak to a solicitor don't waste you time with this lady."
