    Landlord/Tenancy issues

    Troubles with 'end of tenancy' tenants. Yes, it did cost more in 'agreement' monies etc that I hadn't planned for, but their advice saved a lot of stress into not entering into a protracted court case. Carrot. Not stick. Battling the small paperwork stuffs, the Vale of Glamorgan Council policies and Rent Smart Wales dictats has saved me no end of grief. Thank you.

    Settlement Agreement - March 2026

    I'm very grateful to Sarah Dureau and Niki Coombes for their help and advice through an employment issue at a difficult and stressful time. Sarah's advice helped support decision making and guided me through the process. She provided helpful and objective advocacy to protect my interests in the longer term, even though I was perhaps not in the place to do so at the time. Sarah also took areas of concern 'off my shoulders' which was enormously helpful. Niki was efficient and ensured responses were timely.

    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.

    Hi Gavin, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a comprehensive review for Terri from our Witney based Family Law department. Your words are so generous and we are so pleased that Terri was able to support you during this time. We will pass on your words of thanks to Terri. With best wishes, Parker Bullen LLP

      Exceptional Support

      I cannot recommend Terri highly enough. Throughout my divorce, she provided exceptional professional advice while also showing genuine kindness, understanding, and compassion during what was an incredibly challenging time. From the very beginning, Terri took the time to understand my individual circumstances, needs, and priorities. She guided me through every stage of the process with clear, practical advice and always ensured I understood my options. Her expertise gave me confidence during a period of significant uncertainty. What truly set Terri apart was her ability to take the burden off my shoulders. While I was dealing with a constantly changing home life and the emotional pressures that come with divorce, she handled the legal complexities efficiently and professionally, allowing me to focus on my family and personal wellbeing. Terri was always approachable, responsive, and supportive, making me feel valued and reassured throughout the process. Her dedication, professionalism, and empathy made a difficult situation far more manageable, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Terri to anyone seeking a solicitor who combines outstanding legal expertise with genuine care for her clients.

      I'm not local to the Wiltshire area, but turned to Parker Bullen LLP to help and advise on an employment issue having previously been a client of Leigh Barnett several years ago. Sarah Dureau of Parker Bullen LLP provided me legal advice and guidance at a difficult and stressful time. She was calm, reassuring and provided excellent and professionally informed context to support decision making and guide me through the process. I was also grateful she took areas of concern 'off my shoulders'. Discount for Forces/Veterans was an additional bonus. All my experience of Parker Bullen has been excellent. In sum, they provide contextualised, utterly professional and informed advice which is provided in a supportive and timely way.
