Professionals to be relied upon.

I am currently in the process of divorce and buying/selling property. The conveyancing has been made difficult by an obstructive solicitor further down the chain. However, in spite of this, I have been very well advised, supported and kept up to date by both of my solicitors, and their associated team members. I have felt, and continue to feel completely confident in the good humoured service they provide. I am so glad that I chose these thoroughly splendiferous solicitors to assist me through this challenging time in my life.

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!

She was professional, responded quickly to both calls and emails and she helped by explaining every step of the process in detail.
I would certain recommend Parker Bullen and an especially big thank you to Suzanne.

The family department at Parker Bullen, Salisbury were amazing at helping me navigate my way through a very tricky time. Suzanne was incredibly supportive and dealt with everything in a very professional manner. Communication and information were regularly received and anything I did not understand was fully explained. I highly recommend their services.
