Saleem Khan/John Barkers took money from a cancer patient without her sons knowledge - then refused to do the work and refused to give the money back.

saleem appeared totally disinterested (lazy?) throughout and just before the trial had written only 3 lines on a notepad with what seemed like very little knowledge of the case. He was hypersensitive, blaming his problems on his client (being foul mouthed and unpleasant?) and at the very last minute before going into the trial let me down.

He appeared to be working for the other side rather than me and was full of derogatory comments about his own clients?. So it seems he lied in the room in the court when he said I could have the money back. This firm took money from a cancer patient (who was confused) without her sons knowledge and the solicitor saleem khan did not do the work he was paid to do and kept all the money. They have refused to refund the money. This has left her unable to afford a fridge to keep her medication in. Nobody should trust this firm or solicitor and I hope this helps others

Saleem Khan did an amazing job, providing first-class service that is highly recommended. He was honest and upfront, deserving a perfect 10 out of 10 score.

The firm is very friendly and approachable, making it easy to have conversations with them. They maintained good communication throughout the process and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I worked with Salem Khan, who took care of everything for me, and I would highly recommend both him and the company to others.

We used John Barkers for our conveyancing, Catherine and her team were very professional, helpful, patient and warm in their work with us. They helped get us over the line before stamp duty changes which was our main priority. Easily contactable and always got back to us, and were happy to explain everything to us at a pace we needed. Would fully recommend!

I recently used John Barkers to deal with the sale of my property. Liam Lawrence and his team were very professional and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The sale was handled very professionally, efficiently and quickly and I couldn't recommend Liam highly enough during the sale process. Thank you so much for your excellent service. Mrs Emerson
