By far the best solicitor I have engaged with.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I needed to engage with a solicitor and quite rightly went to Parker Bullen LLP.
Caring, helpful and knowledgeable. The matter was settled remarkably quickly and should the need arise again, Parker Bullen will always be first choice.

Excellent service as ever
We needed our Wills updating and PofA set up for ourselves.
We were given very good advice with regard to the queries we had, and the draft documents were produced very quickly.
It was always easy to arrange and get an appointment to see Jo and Lisa.
We would certainly use them again for other issues, and recommend them to friends etc without reserve.

Preparation of a Will with relevant legal advice
Jo & Lisa prepared my latest iteration of my Will, and the service was excellent, with great legal advice and quality of the actual document presented. I waited a period of time with another practice to get an appointment, who could not deliver this service in timely manner to my liking, so I am very pleased, I went to Parker Mullen. I would highly recommend this practice for all your legal requirements. Great service.
