“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.”


Audrey, June 2024

“I had my initial free consultation with Vandana Chitroda who was knowledgeable and excellent. When she left the firm, Pippa Marshall took over my case and together with Maheen Khalid, they both saw me through the remainder of my Divorce proceedings to an amicable end.

Pippa is competent, thorough, and knowledgeable and was spot on with her advice and together with Maheen Khalid who played an extremely important supporting role throughout.

James McMullan and Charlotte provided exceptional service with clear guidance on the preparation of my Will.

I highly recommend the Firm as I feel they will guide appropriately and endeavour for the best outcome for their client and I trust their advice completely. Whilst I do not wish the situation on anyone, but somehow if you do find yourself in this difficult position, these are the Team you can trust completely. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.”

Chrystabel Austin, April 2024

James McMullan, at what was Barker Gillette, has looked after my affairs for many years now and it is reassuring to have solicitors that I trust implicitly. Charlotte was an excellent addition to the team and I was impressed from her arrival with her prompt replies and general efficiency.”

ADC, November 2023

“I have no reservations in highly recommending your firm and record my heartfelt thanks for your excellent work. Grateful to both James and Charlotte for their professional advice and for making the whole process seamless and efficient.”

Charlotte (and James McMullan) dealt with our Wills and POAs very efficiently and diligently. Everything was explained clearly and actioned without delay. Good job!”
