Life changing result

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.

This review is for a different branch.

I have used Barcan+Kirby on several occasions and I have always been very happy with their service.
They have been very efficient in dealing with the sale of my properties though auctions and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I’ve worked in the property industry for 26 years and have dealt with hundreds of solicitors in that time, so I feel well qualified to recognise a truly outstanding one. Jonathan Wilson is, without question, the best I’ve worked with. He is honest, courteous, and exceptionally diligent. This was my first time using Jon’s services, but it certainly won’t be the last. I’ll be recommending him without hesitation—both personally and through my property business.

Due to a life change accident I had the opportunity to work with Emily Williamson & Kirsty Bancroft at the Barcan+Kirby law firm regarding a knee injury I sustained five years ago. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, the service provided was exceptional
They demonstrated a profound understanding, of personal injury law. They took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the legal process, and provide guidance on the best course of action. Their knowledge in navigating complex medical and legal aspects greatly reassured me during this challenging time.
What stood out most was their commitment to clear and consistent communication. They kept me, updated on the progress of my case and were always available to answer any questions I had. This transparency, made me feel engaged, and informed, throughout the entire process. The lawyer service was impeccable. They worked closely with my hospital consultant team ensuring that the nuances, of my injury were well represented.
Ultimately, Emily Williamson and her team achieved a favourable outcome for my case, which has significantly improved my sense of justice and closure regarding the incident. I am grateful for their hard work & dedication
Hence, I highly recommend Emily Williamson and Kirsty Bancroft at the barcan+kirby to anyone seeking legal representation for personal injury cases and more. Their combination of professionalism, expertise, and empathetic service made a significant difference in my experience.

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!!

We worked with Barcan+Kirby on a number of acquisitions and found Oli and George to be thoughtful, responsive, and commercially minded throughout. Rob also provided valuable support on a separate matter. What stood out most was the ability to have frank, open conversations around the practicalities of the deals, something that really helped get them over the line.
