Superb service

My sister and I recently engaged Parker Bullen to support in the probate application for our father’s estate. I have to say that I have so impressed from start to finish with the service we received from Gareth and Jo. They were professional, attentive and explain everything in a clear and understandable way. We have been thoroughly impressed by them, and would recommend them to others.

Got the job done but expensive

It would have been nice to be given a quote for the work carried out rather than wait until the end which was almost double what I was expecting. Most of us clients don't have £1000's lying around which, unfortunately, was another stress on top of legal proceedings which is stressful enough as it is.

Aside from that, Becky was very professional and approachable. The work carried out was of a good standard with a fast turnaround.

Sharon Hawkes and her staff were invaluable in the Will Writing process.

Diligently explaining every step and the process involved.
Having dealt with solicitors in my role as a Mortgage Advisor over a period of 30 years I know a good solicitor when I see one!

Well done Sharon keep up the excellent work!

I couldn’t recommend Becky at Parker Bullen more highly.
She dealt with my divorce quickly and efficiently. She was always available to help with any questions and I found her to be extremely responsive.

I was helped to feel relaxed, and shown into a pleasant room..

I had never been to a Solicitor before, so didn't know quite what to expect, and both my Mother and Sister had recently died, so l was still feeling vulnerable, even though my Daughter was with me. However, all was so calm and peaceful that l immediately felt at ease. I had come to get my Will written and l was particularly feeling the importance of it.
Jo Leonard, my Solicitor, was refreshingly down to earth, and l so appreciated that, as it pushed aside any barriers and we got on well. All questions were answered and things explained, she was kind and patient but very professional, and all the staff that l met there were too.
I was very grateful to them all, as it was a difficult time in my life, but it was something that l knew l must do and not leave.

Handling of an Estate.

A good experience. Some family sensitivities and points of law which were clearly advised on. Constant access to the legal executive who was fielding the case and her lawyer as required. Fees were made clear at the start and came out pretty much as advised.

Excellent service

We used Gareth and Jo from Parker Bullen for our Wills after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Great service, very clear instructions, understanding our needs, explaining things so we can easily understand and gave some great advice along the way.

I was expecting this to be a painful service but it was easy. Highly recommended.

Outstanding service

Parker Bullen have provided the most excellent service. After a disappointing experience with another law firm where my divorce proceedings had come to a standstill, I changed to Parker Bullen and received sound advice, swift action and all encompassing support from my solicitor, resulting in the Decree Absolute including a Pension Sharing Order within a few months.
At all times did I feel supported - I cannot recommend Parker Bullen enough. Thank you!

I cannot rate PB enough and moreover my solicitor Karen Matthews, I am possibly the worst house buyer due to having little or no patience but Karen and her staff handled everything brilliantly! This is the 6th time she’s handled house related paperwork for me and this time hopefully my last ever purchase 🤞🏻never complains I’m too pushy or needy despite being so!
I would highly recommend her and the team!
Always thankful 😁 but I hope I never have to sell or buy again which is no reflection on the service 🤣🤣

I can not recommend Parker Bullen Andover enough. From the offset they were professional, responded very quickly to all emails.
I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne Foster. She was always available for advice and explained every step of the process in detail, was always honest and listened to my wishes. I would not hesitate to work with Suzanne or anybody at Parker Bullen in the future.
A special Thank You to Suzanne for all of your help.
