Exceptional support and professionalism - Terri Anson-Dean

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the outstanding service provided by my solicitor, Terri. Terri was absolutely fantastic throughout the handling of my case. She demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, diligence, and genuine personal engagement that made a significant difference during what was, at times, a sensitive and emotional process. From the outset, Terri was extremely personable and practical, striking the perfect balance between empathy and efficiency. She gave me complete confidence and a sense of security in her ability to manage the case, and I trusted her implicitly. Her communication was clear and consistent — I always knew exactly where we were in the process, which offered great reassurance. Terri approached every aspect of the case with meticulous attention to detail and maintained the highest standards of professionalism at all times. Her ability to remain composed, optimistic, and solution-focused helped guide me through difficult moments and ultimately led to a positive and timely resolution in a case that had been ongoing. Quite simply, I don’t believe I would have coped half as well had I been represented by anyone else. Terri’s manner, investment in the case, and personal touch were invaluable. She was more than just a solicitor — she was a steady and supportive presence when I needed it most. Thank you, Terri, for everything. Your work has made a real difference.

Excellent and timely legal advice

Sarah Dureau (and her team) at Parker Bullen provided me with truly excellent and in-depth advice. They are very responsive by phone and email and Satah is well versed not only in all legal aspects but also Service guidelines and publications. This was very helpful as I did not need to explain all of these nuances and could get to the heart of the matter immediately. Thank you again for your fantastic work.

I would like to thank Chris Smith for his professionalism and understanding when it came to writing my Will. He understood my needs and requests perfectly and made me feel at ease with the whole process. I couldn't recommend Parker Bullen more for all of their services but especially Chris and Terri for their support through some truly difficult times.

We had taken our issue as far as possible without legal representation. Our solicitor was well informed, and tenacious, it relieved the pressure we were under. The process resulted in a better outcome than we had imagined. Our enormous heartfelt thanks to her for what we felt like was an investment in our lives. We would recommend without hesitation our solicitor.

Divorce and financial settlement

When I first met Terri Anson Dean I was very low. I had separated after a long marriage, didn’t know my rights and was keenly aware my husband had managed all our finances for years. I had discovered everything was in his name only and felt very scared for my future as I approached my 60’s. For the next many months Terri supported me, filtered out the deeply emotional response I had to his solicitor’s letters and helped me focus on my needs and wants. Even when I wanted to delay, against Terri’s best legal advice, she supported my decisions, allowing me to process it all at my own pace. She was my shield and my protector whilst giving me my voice. I cannot thank her enough for the outcome that has given me the financial security to live my life my way.

Impressive Service

I was impressed with the service we received from Chris Smith of Parker Bullen. Throughout the process of developing our wills Chris fully explained the various features of the will and associated trust, ensured we understood and agreed what was proposed was what we wanted and provided full responses to our questions verbally and in writing.
The process was speedy and efficient and to our full satisfaction.

I can’t thank my solicitor Louise Taylor enough for sorting out my house purchase so efficiently and as quickly as she could before christmas.

She kindly answered all my phone calls about even the tiniest questions I had throughout the process and was very helpful with everything, I really really do appreciate her help.

Thank you so much

Child Arrangements Following Divorce

I have worked with Sarah and later Terri for the past five years through my divorce, financial settlement order, child arrangements order. More recently Terri has supported me with a co-habitation agreement and updating my will, specific issues with my ex-husband including specific issues orders such as secondary school placements and changes to my original child arrangement order. They have both helped me to deal with my legal issues with dignity and respect at very difficult and challenging times when I have felt like doing anything but that.
My circumstances with my ex-husband are on the extreme end of the scale and it has meant that attention to detail and using the correct wording has been key to obtaining the right result for an easier life. I would highly recommend Terri, her attention to detail and anticipating all the possible angles has been exceptional. She is extremely hard working, caring and dedicated to getting the right result for her client.
I can’t thank Terri enough for all she has supported me with lately, issues with my ex-husband are never easy to resolve and I’m sure she must dread seeing my name on her call back list! There have been a lot of times when I have felt like giving up or I wasn’t sure what to do next or how to deal with a situation and I can’t thank Terri enough for being there to support me through those times. For as long as Terri is happy to work with me, I will continue to work with her on any future legal issues.
