This firm is employing solicitors and paralegals who seem utterly reluctant to reply to correspondence and inquiries. I am am not a client of theirs for which I am extremely thankful, but are involved with them as a litigant in person pursuing a resolution to a pending case. If they are currently without instructions, then professional courtesy would dictate that I would at least be notified of this. However, there is nothing but silence. A complaint is in the process of being made against this outfit. Irmgard. 2. 6. 2021 read more

My partner and I have employed Giles Woodward at B+K for conveyancing in the past and have been pleased with his thoroughness and efficiency in what has been sometimes quite complicated and frustrating details. Time has been charged for accurately and full details have been sent of all the costs. Recently I have contacted Sharlie Sollars at B+K on another issue regarding evicting tenants. She listened carefully, translating my thoughts into something accurate and wrote a very comprehensive and thorough report of our meeting. In it she suggested options in a clear and not-too-technical way. I learnt a lot and took appropriate action. read more

Stay clear of these lawyers they are useless and completely destroyed any chance of me winning a case I presented to them that was very straight forward. My only wish now is that I had read all the negative reviews on the internet before using them. There are plenty more qualified lawyers in the Bristol area. read more

I would never recommend this firm. On a straightforward sale and purchase they mislaid documents, asked for the same things twice from other parties, and gave me poor advice, all of which resulted in additional costs to me. The Estate Agent who had recommended them had to intervene to get things back on track, but even then they made further basic mistakes. They were completely unaware of the issues around ground rents despite all the publicity and failed to spot obvious problem clauses in the conveyance. When I complained they simply denied the facts even though I had dated letters and evidence, and suggested that I had expected too much from them and refused to offer me any compensation. There are plenty of other firms in Bristol who can do the job properly. Avoid Barcan Kirby. read more

Barcan+Kirby have helped me through a lot of issues, took a lot of pressure off me and delivered the outstanding service and support I needed. The company was able to offer help and assistance even during the lockdown period. Particular thanks to Kirsten Hale,Tom Powles and Stephen Parker who dealt with various matters to the highest standard. Their professionalism, determination and confidence developed into an excellent outcome. Guarded by Kirsten, Tom and Stephen I felt very safe and secure. At the times when I was getting lost in all the legal stuff, I knew my interests were well protected and were going to be sorted. Would highly recommend! read more

Thanks to the advice given to me by Iysha Daftari-Clarke, I was able to resolve my employment issue with my now ex employer. Iysha was able to outline all the issues and enable me to raise these these points via an internal grievance procedure. As a result of this process I received an extra months termination pay and parted company on amicable terms. I really wouldn't have been able to achieve this without her professional advice and support. I would definitely use Barcan+Kirby Solicitors again (but hopefully not necessary). read more

We have employed Barcan+Kirby to settle a dispute with a builder and while this is still ongoing, this is not the fault of Barcan+Kirby. We have found them to be extremely professional and helpful with the matter. Documents and e-mails are dealt with in a prompt and efficient manner and we are kept updated with every step of the case. The breakdown of the solicitor's time is also thorough and lets us see exactly where our money is going. Definitely recommend. Nikki read more

We recently used the services of Ms Sharlie Sollars in a dispute with our neighbour over a boundary. She proved very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful. We were kept informed of how the case was progressing, we knew how much it was likely to cost us and we were very satisfied with the eventual outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any prospective client. read more

If I could only have the 6 years and thousands of pounds lost to this awful law firm back I would be a happy man and to add to this the distress they put me through was so unfair and just cruel Learn from my experience as someone who had their case completely destroyed by under qualified and lazy lawyers. read more
