Review of Services Provided by Parker Bullen – Becky Hughes (Solicitor) and Natasha Allen (Paralegal) I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support I received from Becky Hughes and Natasha Allen at Parker Bullen throughout my very difficult divorce. From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication. Becky provided clear guidance at every stage, explaining complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand. Her expertise, patience, and reassuring approach made an incredibly stressful process far more manageable. Natasha was equally invaluable, always approachable and responsive whenever I had questions or concerns. Her attention to detail and constant willingness to help gave me confidence that my case was in safe and capable hands. Together, they offered not only legal support but genuine understanding and empathy. They were consistently available, incredibly patient, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for me. I am deeply grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend Becky, Natasha, and the team at Parker Bullen to anyone needing supportive, knowledgeable, and dependable legal representation.

Kim Nielsen

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.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.
