Exceptional service from Jill and the team

I have used Jill Donbavan on numerous occasions and once again had an excellent standard of service. Jill, ably assisted by Julie and Gina, would always respond to any of my queries and dealt with all matters in a proactive, friendly and professional manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Parker Bullen in Totton to any future clients.

Divorce and financial settlement

This review is for a different branch.

When I first met Terri Anson Dean I was very low. I had separated after a long marriage, didn’t know my rights and was keenly aware my husband had managed all our finances for years. I had discovered everything was in his name only and felt very scared for my future as I approached my 60’s. For the next many months Terri supported me, filtered out the deeply emotional response I had to his solicitor’s letters and helped me focus on my needs and wants. Even when I wanted to delay, against Terri’s best legal advice, she supported my decisions, allowing me to process it all at my own pace. She was my shield and my protector whilst giving me my voice. I cannot thank her enough for the outcome that has given me the financial security to live my life my way.

Impressive Service

This review is for a different branch.

I was impressed with the service we received from Chris Smith of Parker Bullen. Throughout the process of developing our wills Chris fully explained the various features of the will and associated trust, ensured we understood and agreed what was proposed was what we wanted and provided full responses to our questions verbally and in writing.
The process was speedy and efficient and to our full satisfaction.

Property Sale

This review is for a different branch.

The company was very efficient and friendly from associated Partner to her assistants.
The only criticism I have, but I think this happens with all solicitors, I being very old fashioned like to have face to face contact at least once, this sometimes would cur down on some of the paperwork.

House purchase

This review is for a different branch.

Karen, Issy and Lucy are a brilliant team. They are consistently professional, helpful and polite. Our house purchase went through quite quickly and we always felt that we had the correct information at the right time. Communication is excellent, usually by e-mail, but sometimes a phone call. It is always possible to phone and talk over something when needed. It was important to us that we knew who we were dealing with and were able to call and speak to them directly if necessary. We would highly recommend Karen and her team and will definitely use them again ourselves in the future.

Wills can be complicated things. The young man who dealt with ours listened to our needs and responded in an efficient and timely manner. It took a couple of drafts and a face-time meeting to get them sorted. We were happy with his attention to detail and his efficiency.
