Life changing result

5

Having spent 7 years with Richard dealing with my extremely complicated case,
which many would have given up on, I can only offer the very highest praise.His hard work, attention to detail and never give up attitude resulted in a settlement way beyond my expectations and deserves every one of the 5 star rating. I will miss my contact with him. If you are looking for a winner, do not bypass Richard Harries. He is the most caring professional I have ever dealt with.

I found Fiona and Richard to be extremely approachable, supportive, friendly and understanding. I appreciate Barcan Kirby's ethos. The individual solicitors I dealt with ie Fiona & Richard went above and beyond in the duty of care they demonstrated.

For 3 years we had Amy Prowle and was not getting anywhere. we then had Richard Harries who completed/finished my case within 5 months. I am grateful for all his efforts.

Were I able to give 10 stars, I most certainly would. The team at B+K,and in particular Richard Harries went above and beyond to achieve a life changing result for me. Richard is tenacious, professional and caring. He is an excellent advocate and has become a friend as well as our Solicitor. I cannot praise them enough!!
