The answer is yes, but rarely.
Those verbs are called “transitifs indirect”, which means that they are followed by a “complément d’objet indirect”. And a “complément d’objet indirect (COI)” must be introduced by a preposition.
The COI is usually placed directly after the verb (except if it is a pronoun).
Je parle **à mes collègues**.
Je **leur** parle.
And it is always the first “groupe complément” in the sentence.
Je parle **de mon travail** au bureau avec mes collègues.
However, are also usually placed directly after the verb. In this case, they are before the COI
je parle souvent à mes collègues.
To make things even more complex, the adverb is not placed just after the verbal group with composite tenses, but the COI is.
J'ai beaucoup parlé de mes collègues.
