“Martin Alfreds handled the sale of my property magnificently considering all the ridiculous and time-wasting questions put to him by the purchaser’s lawyer. His patience in handling the extensive and unnecessary questions and issues raised by them was amazing and considering I have had to deal with this myself from a position of being an expat resident in Spain with the help of my husband was exhausting. Well done, Martin!!”
“The experience of RIAA Barker Gillette (and more specifically of Kane…) managing the sale of our home during a particularly challenging period in the property market was second to none. At each step of the way we’ve had all the support, information & proactive communication that we could have needed.”
“I have had an excellent experience using RIAA Barker Gillette. Their service is impeccable. Martin Alfreds helped me throughout the entire legal process of remortgaging. He is very knowledgeable, efficient and has given me the best advice. Thank you for all your help.”
“I’ve recently bought my first home and literally could not have done it without Martin and Hanna at RIAA Barker Gillette. Every staff member I corresponded with was helpful, knowledgeable and patient with my lack of understanding of legalese. One lawyer even called me whilst on holiday to clarify something I was confused about. As a company, they went above and beyond and are so reasonably priced, I will be recommending them for years to come. You’re in safe hands with them!”
“I had to deal with a difficult case, unknown to me so I contacted Barker Gillette for guidance and legal services. I must admit that I knew the firm is very good but the service I received and the advice were invaluable. I am absolutely delighted with their professionalism and their ability to solve problems. I am grateful to the whole team that dealt with me and I thank them for the detailed work.”
“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 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.”
“James in particular dealt with my case and all that I can say is that they were amazing and highly professional…”
“We found the whole process extremely smooth and were kept informed on every process. We felt that our queries were answered and we were supported through the process.”
“From start to finish the process was easy, the complex legal side of things was made tangible to us and explained in ways we understood. When the details of the particular deal had to change the response was agile and flexible. We felt like we were in safe hands from the first conversation.”
