Charlotte was professional, efficient, and highly responsive throughout the entire process. She explained everything clearly and handled each step with great care and attention, ensuring that my father felt comfortable and well-informed at all times. What could have been a complex and stressful process was made completely seamless and hassle-free thanks to her expertise.
Her attentiveness and sensitivity to my father’s needs, particularly given his disability, were truly commendable. She demonstrated genuine patience and understanding, which made a significant difference to our overall experience.

Charlotte and James – You’ll always be famous in my house!
“I recently lost my brother unexpectedly, and dealing with everything that followed was one of the hardest experiences of my life. My early experiences with family, police, hospitals, coroners, etc, were met with cruelty and dismissal at a time when I was already overwhelmed with grief.
The first law firm I hired only made things worse and couldn’t answer my questions, offered no real support, and I was left with more questions and a big bill.
A friend of my brother’s recommended this firm, and from the moment I reached out to them, everything changed. James McMullan (a partner) and Charlotte Barbaroussis (a solicitor) treated me with genuine care, compassion, and professionalism, guiding me through every step at a time when I truly needed it. Not only were my needs met, but they were also anticipated. I learnt so much along the way, and everything was explained in layman’s terms. Their support has been empathetic and exceptional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.
If anyone is feeling uncertain about which firm to trust, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing them.
10/10 no notes!”

My Mother’s Will
“We had to move my mother’s will from an old solicitor to RIAA Barker Gillette. We selected them because of their reputation and also their location in Boreham Wood. The communication was excellent, they were prompt and clear and responded to any questions. They were also up front with the fees, which helped. The process was completed quickly and efficiently. I would especially like to compliment Charlotte Barbaroussis, who was excellent.”

Probate
“The claim for probate was handled very speedily by Charlotte. It was just a case of my filling in a form with all the relevant figures, a quick clarification on a few points, and then submission to the Probate Office. Probate was then received very quickly within about 10 days. Thank you for your efficiency.”
