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.”

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.”

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.”

“We had a long process handled by Charlotte & James from RIAA Barker Gillette. Even though we were outside the UK Charlotte & James we’re always available and we developed a great working relationship with them.
They gave sound advice, and we trusted their judgment.”

Leann Paris, March 2025

“From the beginning to the end, the support we have received throughout the case with all the staff members has been far more than we expected, we got kept up to date with every single matter, I have had stressful few years but Charlotte and her team have been very supportive and understanding.. I cannot fault anything, they have always gone far and beyond and always kept us up to date with everything that was happening.”

C Smith, March 2025

“As executor of a will it was a relief for a solicitor to act on my behalf as though no disputes it was still a lengthy and complex process. It was dealt with mostly by Charlotte B. who kept me informed at all times. She explained the process clearly and was able to answer any questions I had. She responded to any queries in a timely fashion.”

Caroline Rice, February 2025
