Throughout the four years it has taken to settle my mothers estate Chris Green has been head and shoulders above a number of solicitors from other practices engaged by other interested parties. Chris has been the consummate professional, always quick to respond with positive advice and words of wisdom. Such support and expertise is not cheap but is worth every penny. Thank you Chris and Porter Dodson for all you have done for us.
We both cannot thank you enough for all the support, advice and professionalism you have shown us over the past several years. Your guidance has meant so much, especially when matters have been particularly fraught. Of all the advisors and solicitors we have worked with during this process, you stand head and shoulders above them all as someone who knows what they are doing and gets the job done.
We recently had a contentious legal matter, and cannot express how grateful we are for the outstanding support provided by Porter Dodson Solicitors. From an initial consultation with Chris, Amelia was assigned to the case and demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoroughness, and dedication. Amelia was not only knowledgeable but also empathetic, ensuring that we understood every step of the process. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. We highly recommend Porter Dodson for anyone seeking reliable legal representation. Their commitment to excellence truly sets them apart.
Thank you for all of yours and your teams hard work on getting to this point I have to say there was a point where I thought this day would never come but I'm extremely happy that it has, I will be forever grateful to you all.
The work you did for me has been done very professionally, considerately and kindly. The result has changed things in my life for the better. I can't be more thankful and grateful.
