Martin went above an beyond to deal with both difficult matters on my side as well as our counterparts. He made what would have been an extremely stressful series of events manageable keeping me informed at every step of the way.”

Residential sales and purchases


MS, January 2024

“Excellent experience. I needed a solicitor following a redundancy notification and was recommended to use Karen Cole – and Patrick Simpson – to review my settlement agreement. A phone call was quickly arranged with Karen who explained the process to me and answered any questions I had. Karen and Patrick kept me up to date throughout the process and were always happy to answer any further queries I had. I would highly recommend both Karen and Patrick to anyone going through a similar experience.”

“I was recommended to use Patrick Simpson to handle my redundancy agreement. Patrick was excellent from start to finish, he kept me up to date during the whole process and took the time to answer any of my questions fully and took the stress out of what I though would be a very stressful process. I would not hesitate in recommending Patrick to anybody that needs legal advice in the future.”

Paul King, November 2023

“Our experience with RIAA Barker Gillette has quite frankly nothing short of exceptional. Martin Alfreds led as Solicitor for the purchase of our property. Efficient, proactive, responsive, diligent, everything you could hope and want from a Solicitor – but with the bonus of being a thoroughly pleasant personality to deal with. Martin was recommended to us by the Estate Agent, and we could not be more grateful. Faultless from start to finish.”

Blitz, November 2023

“We dealt with Charlotte who came from the London office to meet us at your Borehamwood office. I have to say that firstly, she was charming and professional. She fully explained the situation regarding wills, power of attorney and other situations that we should consider. Her attention to detail was flawless and her communication was excellent. On our second meeting, she again explained everything and helped us together with making sure that we were aware of what to do. I would fully recommend her to any of our friends.”

“I am very satisfied with the way in which my case was handled. There were a few complex issues which were escalated and addressed but the bulk of the work was routine and handled quickly and efficiently.”
