A complete and professional service, felt very looked after by Bryony who guided me through my first experience using a law firm! Definitely money well spent.
Hannah
We were very pleased with the service we received from Bethany. She worked so hard and diligently to ensure that our purchase was completed, communicating with us throughout. Bethany dealt with everything calmly and professionally, and all within the very reasonable set fee originally agreed. We would highly recommend Porter Dodson to anyone, and would definitely use them again.

We were directed to Porter Dodson in Bridport as an efficient and effective solicitor to deal with our flat purchase in Lyme Regis. They did not let us down. Amy Bishop and Steve Dunkerton were nothing short of amazing! It took 16 weeks from offer to completion. Both were communicative and always available for my sometimes pointless questions. I cannot rate these guys high enough. I will be recommending Porter Dodson at Bridport solely on the expertise of Amy and Steve. Thank you both so much.
