Zoe, thank you for all your assistance with my divorce, I'm very grateful and happy that part is completed. I really can't speak highly enough of you all, your professionalism and availability for support when needed.
I have been using Porter Dodson for nearly a year now. They helped me through PLO process and also helped me through a long residency fight. They communicated everything as soon as they possibly could and were there to answer any questions I had. I've had multiple solicitors throughout, and I can't fault any of them. Charlotte, Kirby and Jodi...thank you so much for everything!
