Excellent experience with Hireabarrister from beginning to end
Excellent experience with hireabarrister. I had been looking for a direct access barrister on a family matter for days before I came across this organisation. Joe was very quick to reply to my query and placed me with a barrister who was the perfect fit for our matter. The fees were reasonable. I can't thank Joe enough and would highly recommend this organisation to others.

A no brainer
Good communication and easy to send documents etc, using this was stress free, Thanks Joe, top customer service! I was given 4 or 5 choices of barrister, not pressured into any of them, Would use again and recommend to friends and family if they needed something like direct access.

Would recommend to anyone
I used hire a barrister recently to help with an ongoing legal dispute. I found the portal and process to be far easier than the "old" style that is still used by this industry. The whole process was streamlined and was far more reasonably priced than I had been quoted by going through a solicitor.
