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.
