“The setting for my discussions with RIAA Barker Gillette (RIAABG) arose from a natural progression of their assistance in the preparation of my Will, Probate requirements, Property Title Transfer and finally to the preparation of my Powers of Attorney for property & finance & health & welfare. I wanted a solicitor who was willing to work alongside my brother and my 2 children and to freely share all discussions with them, and I was made to feel comfortable that RIAABG would meet this role at all times.
I valued that RIAABG encouraged communication by phone, e-mail and face-to-face for the final sign-off of documents. At all times, the lead solicitor could be contacted easily. Indeed, the entire task of the LPA’s was made to look simple as it was noted that background preparation was always meticulously carried out to make the discussions very focused and to minimize any recycle of discussions. The explanations were important for me as I wanted to understand the significance of the legal language used without receiving a lecture and I got the confidence these documents would be completed correctly and in accordance with my wishes.
At all times, the communication was received within 2 days on pending issues with an explanation on the options to consider or suggestions to move forward whilst maintaining my wishes. The briefings were always clear, and we felt comfortable asking simple questions. The explanation of the role of the Office of the Public Guardian and the role of my appointed Attorneys were valuable when discussed as a group with our solicitor to fully understand the reasons and consequences of selected options.
So I must thank our solicitor for the politeness and responsiveness showed to us and the informed professional views we received at all times. We were made to feel welcome. Thank you.”

“Martin Alfreds of RIAA Barker Gillette helped me get my dream home as a first-time solo buyer. Originally from a different country, I had no idea where to start, I’m also self-employed, and the property was newly converted, next to a river so there had to be a lot of legal questions asked and responses reviewed to ensure it was a safe buy. He always responded within hours to my emails, always picked up the phone and guided me through a process that otherwise would have been very painful. Highly recommend working with Martin. He and his team have been a pleasure to deal with. Gabriella”

“At the end of the day we paid a higher price than we had ben quoted by one other company but the strong recommendation from our friend and the fact that we live in another country led us to engage [RIAA Barker Gillette]. And we feel like we made the right choice.”
