Dishonest expensive and poor advice

i replied to an email from them Mercy Khosa after I had informed them that I wanted to discuss a Medical Negligence case that I had a letter of admittance and apology from the party involved thus making it a straight forward and easy case to gain commission payment from I waited 17 days before ringing them after not having received a reply from any individual from the company and was told that the person was on leave and the reason why I had not received a reply was because there was a glitch in the system To me there was no system otherwise someone should and would have responded to the email I had sent almost 3 weeks previously but evidently there was not a system set up meaning numerous clients and potential clients were being ignored and forcing myself and maybe others too to go elsewhere where simple emails are responded to in a decent amount of time rather than never If they cant be trusted to simply reply to emails or have a system set up so that clients and potential clients emails are dealt with there s no way they can be trusted to deal with legal cases or even court cases Update 23rd May 2023 - Again I emailed Mercy Khosa on the 19th May to inform her that I had not received an email after 17 days so please delete my contact details and I was not given the curtesy of an apology let alone a reply yet because this review is now public I get a response here but not from the person who did not email me after 17 days That speaks volumes As for meeting my standards a simple email reply is not too much for anyone to ask particularly someone who is trying to give you business and an opportunity to receive a good review too As for discussing it further if I could not have a discussion about a quick and simple case after waiting 17 days then I have no faith in being able to discuss anything with you and nor do I wish to thank you

Unprofessional company

Dishonest took 400 for an hour consultation off me didn t respond to emails or phone calls rude receptionists shambolic company keep well away from them

Barcan and Kirby saved my house sale

During 2022 I was dealing as Executor with the sale of my late parents house Having engaged Purplebricks as the Estate Agent I was somewhat obliged to also utilise one of their panel solicitors to handle the conveyancing Unfortunately the process turned out to be too complex for said panel solicitor due to an error when the house was built the garage was not correctly registered with the Land Registry After dithering for a couple of months the panel solicitor informed me in November 2022 that they were unable to continue and effectively dis-instructed themselves Meanwhile my buyer informed me that she had a deadline with her mortgage offer expiring in February 2023 Fear spread that the sale would fall through unless swift action was taken Enter Barcan Kirby who had previously managed my parents legal affairs Firstly I dealt with James Bell in their Litigation Team He wasted no time in establishing that that the garage was registered with a company who had taken over the original builders He subsequently arranged for the title of the garage to be transferred in order to remove this blockage on the sale Secondly I dealt with Asha North in the Thornbury Conveyancing Team Asha was aware of the deadline that she was working to and efficiently ensured that the sale was successfully completed with a week to spare before the buyer s mortgage offer expired I am pleased to say that the sale has now been completed and both the buyer and myself are overjoyed that Barcan Kirby literally saved the day

I have had great experience with Barcan

I have had great experience with Barcan Kirby when they represented me in the Bristol family court I was well represented through their solicitor Jeremy Fagan throughout during all of the hearings which lasted several months until the 15th of July when the last hearing took place Jeremy was great and did a fantastic job on behalf of Mariama Jobe

Get the best results

Richard and his team worked diligently over a very long period to ensure the best possible results Cannot thank Barcan Kirby enough

Quick and efficient would recommend

Stephen Parker and his colleague Joanne Crawshaw have helped me with a number of sales and purchases recently including for my new home in December 2024 They ve always been very efficient when dealing with our case especially when compared to the rest of the solicitors out there that they have to deal with Would definitely recommend for those looking for an easy and reliable solicitor
