This is a company my ex wife used to sort out the break up of the family home ,
Duncan at Woking branch seems to be extremely useless with his communication and replying to a simple email, if not sometimes rude
A very simple process that has so far taken 6 months for them to sort out . Personally speaking to my ex wife she is saying that she can never get in contact with any one
And gets no response to email .
Useless law firm personally I would never use them
To even sort out a parking ticket dispute.

The facts about Barlow Robbins:
1. David Ludlow (partner in Barlow Robbins) told me that my case would cost me 20-30,000 and take 2-18 months. I am then informed, when I am 2/3 through my case, that my costs will be c100,000 and about 80,000 for the defendant should I lose. It is also 3 and 1/2 years since I registered with Barlow Robbins.
2. Two duplicate charges (1,218 and 1,218.74 + VAT) were added to one of my invoices.
3. 2,400 I paid to Barlow Robbins for the barrister was used to offset one of my bills. (This is against Client Money Regulations). I only discovered this when

A legal firm that genuinely cares about its clients and who are passionate about achieving the right outcome. For anyone who has never had to use a lawyer before and is a bit daunted by the process (like I was) I'd highly recommend Barlow Robbins.
