David Levey, August 2024

“I have been in business for 40 years, and I have dealt with a number of law firms in the UK and USA. Without a doubt, the very best law firm is RIAA Barker Gillette (UK), and I would highly recommend both Victoria Holland and Grayson Stuckey. Their attention to detail is unbelievable.”

“I am currently separating from my wife and Pippa’s knowledge of the financial, legal and custody aspects regarding our children in our initial phone call were exemplary. She explained all the different options and possibilities that may arise at mediation or in the family courts clearly and was sympathetic throughout, whilst also telling me harsh truths when I needed to hear them. Thank you Pippa, I will certainly recommend you to others.”

“Thank you [Patrick] for your professional advice and guidance during my recent employment matter. Your insights were very helpful, and I appreciate your support. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again in the future if needed.”

“I’ve used RIAA for both Wills and Nuptial Agreements, as well as Deed in Trust. They are an intelligent and friendly group of people, looking out for their clients. The only ding is 1) change of attorneys mid-case due to the departure of previous and 2) an IT issue that delayed work for a few weeks. This is not the fault of the law firm so would still very much recommend.”


Johnnie, August 2024

“I’ve got nothing but good things to say about my experience. All the staff were friendly, professional and available to help as some parts of the process required multiple back-and-forth emails/phone calls within the same day. I will be using them again for any further legal services!”

Residential sales and purchases


Yudi Morris, August 2024

“Martin and his team provided a great service during a slightly gruelling conveyancing period that took over 6 months. He was patient and always available to talk. Even during a busier personal matter. I’m grateful to have had his expertise during the sale of property.”

Richard Newton, July 2024

“I was advised by Victoria over many years in a complicated environment as a founder director and shareholder. When a partial exit became possible due to a significant investment in the firm Victoria provided excellent advice and a calm head to help me achieve the best result.”

Maximillian, July 2024

“Working with RIAA and especially with [Victoria Holland and Evangelos Kyveris] below has ever since been very satisfying and pleasurable. They quickly analyse and come up with rapid feedback combining the necessary sensitivity, competence and pragmatism for each case.”

Anon, July 2024

“Firstly what a professional company. My friend recommended the company and, in particular, Karen Cole. In Ms Cole’s absence, Patrick Simpson returned my email and this is with whom took on my case.

In my first contact, I merely wanted to have a conversation regarding my situation. Patrick was extremely hopeful with honest feedback about my options.

It wasn’t for a few weeks/months later when my employer completely did a 180 on me prompting me to move forward with Patrick and bring a case to my employer.

Patrick has been knowledgeable and thorough throughout this time. He has moved this forward on every occasion and the outcome has been over and above anything I could have hoped for.

I think ‘Joe Public’ tends to feel somewhat nervous around anything legal but Patrick has constantly put me at ease, explained everything and has thought ahead on everything making this an extremely easy process.

I would recommend this company and in particular Patrick Simpson to anyone going through the experiences that I went through.

Thank you again, Patrick.”
