Tagged solicitor Gemma Cole
Gemma was absolutely incredible with my case and moved extremely swiftly and professionally. I felt I could email her with any questions, no matter how silly they may have been and she responded promptly, even after the case. She made sure all bases was covered, spoke to the other party and made sure an agreement was arranged. I would highly recommend straw and Pearce and specifically, Gemma Cole. Thankyou again Gemma.

Tagged solicitor Suzanne Foster
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.

Tagged solicitor Kim Nielsen
Kim Nielson was my solicitor with Hewitts. Without her help in resolving issues with my late wifes family, I would definitely have suffered financially and mentally. There is very little you can do to resolve issues between yourself and someone that just wants to make life very difficult for yourself. This is where you need proffessional help with a very good solicitor. Kim Nielson was that solicitor who certainly gave me all the assistance I needed to resolve as many issues as possible. Unfortunately proffessional help comes at a cost, but sometimes you have to look beyond the expense and get the problem sorted before it or they escalate beyond help. I would always recommend Hewitts Solicitors who employ the best possible help you may need.
