More than just a service

“Michael Davies has been representing me for about 35 years, and I cannot recommend him or RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) highly enough. Aside from the normal conveyancing, he is always on hand to advise and guide you through the difficult phases, offering clear advice, particularly when you can’t see the wood for the trees. Friendly, firm, professional and clear. Exactly what you need. Thank you, Michael! I also would add that all of the other staff that I have had the occasion to have dealings with are equally as professional.”



Allasone Lewis, October 2021

“I found the service I received from my Solicitor [Michael Davies] outstanding at every step. The situation was complex and the level of experience and knowledge provided served only to enable the experience to be both successful and bearable at times.”
