Annette, February 2025

“We contacted RIAA Barker Gillette to get our wills arranged. Herman was professional & helpful with all aspects of the process. He explained everything clearly, notified in writing everything we discussed & answered the many questions we had in a timely manner.”


Howard, December 2024

“Outstanding service. The process from start to finish was run so smoothly. Very professional and everyone involved was a pleasure to deal with and helped with easy to understand guidance, especially during this difficult time of losing a close relative.”


M. M. Homes, November 2024

“Charlotte explained everything very clearly and made the whole process nice and easy. Have already started recommending her to my friends.”

Wills and LPAs


Nim, November 2024

“I highly recommend James McMullan and his team. They all did a fantastic job with helping me through a particularly difficult family situation. They are extremely professional, caring, and experts in their field.”

Probate and contentious probate



Tom Mulligan, September 2024

“Charlotte and James did a very professional job, replied promptly to emails, usually within an hour, and were available to meet when necessary. Key though is their specific experience in these areas [LPA, Probate and Wills].”

Wills, tax and trusts


Caroline, August 2024

“I’ve used RIAA for both Wills and Nuptial Agreements, as well as Deed in Trust. They are an intelligent and friendly group of people, looking out for their clients. The only ding is 1) change of attorneys mid-case due to the departure of previous and 2) an IT issue that delayed work for a few weeks. This is not the fault of the law firm so would still very much recommend.”


Georgina, July 2024

“We used James McMullan and Charlotte Barbaroussis to have our Wills/LPAs amended. We felt that this process was a little more complex than usual. However, we were given suitable options in the present financial climate, to all questions asked and additional guidance on matters we had overlooked. We were kept informed of the process and contacted by Charlotte every step of the way and found her friendly, personable but polished, approachable and professional.”
