J. M., May 2025

“Just wanted to give a massive shout out to Herman. He has supported myself and also my parents with writing up wills and with some inheritance tax advice as well. Everything was made really clear very professional, ethical and boundaried. Herman was very patient with us, and I would highly recommend him. The company also seem to have a very straightforward way of contacting solicitors directly and dealing with invoices, and being upfront about payment, which was very much appreciated.

Prior to finding this law firm I had phoned around other family law firms to inquire about Will costing and for lots of them you had to go through many different people in order to finally get to speak to a solicitor and get a clear understanding of the costings and what The work would involve . I was able to speak directly to Herman from day one and he was really clear both verbally uninviting with the costing and what the work would involve, and he was patient but clear on time scales.

I would use Herman’s services again if the need arose.”




Malcolm & Sheila Blackmore, May 2025

“My wife and I engaged RIAA Barker Gillette to prepare our wills and LPOA’s. James McMullan and Charlotte Barbaroussis were the epitome of professionalism – responding quickly, talking us through the legalese, clearly answering any questions that we had. The final documents were issued in very quick time. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends, family, and colleagues.”


Ian, April 2025

“Martin and his team at Barker Gillette acted for us in our purchase and sale of property. The chain was lengthy and elements of the work became complex. Martin was tenacious and resolved to answer our queries as they arose. He handled all aspects of the sale and purchase and advised us what he needed from us on a timely basis. The team were really professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for experienced legal support with conveyancing”


Henry, April 2025

“We have purchased flats before with 2 different solicitors who were unable to help us this time. Martin came highly recommended and are we glad. He was very professional in every way: knowledgeable, approachable, he has a friendly manner, very proactive and any concerns or questions we had he was always available and was quick with his response. We thank Martin and RIAA Barker Gillette.”


Megan Purcell-Jones, April 2025

Charlotte was extremely diligent and thorough. She talked us through the process of making our wills and listened to and understood our needs and the complexities involved. Extremely patient and very clear.”


Hena, April 2025

“Great experience, Patrick was very clear and gave time to explain the legal processes. Friendly and professional communication made me feel comfortable asking questions, received great legal advice.”


Michael Constable, April 2025

“I wanted to revise my will and appoint RIAA Barker Gillette as my Executor and Trustees. This was handled very efficiently and professionally. It helped that I had agreed a fixed fee in advance.”
