I have used Porter Dodson over very many years. Their level of personal service, professionalism and understanding is incomparable. I would be very happy to recommend and appoint Porter Dodson for any legal advice. In particular I would like to express my personal thanks to Vicki Thyer who has advised, guided me and given me such confidence through several matters but very recently the recent probate of my late Father. I cannot thank you enough.

It has always been a great pleasure to deal with Marie as she is friendly, warm and courteous and what is more, she has always responded promptly to my emails as well as answering any queries I may have had in a most helpful and reassuring manner which I have very much appreciated. Based on my recent experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marie's professional services.

As Executor for my late husband ‘s will, I have been impressed by the service I have received from Porter Dodson Solicitors Wellington. Without exception, I have been treated with courtesy and kindness by the staff members I have had contact with throughout the process of obtaining Grant of Probate. Their professionalism is outstanding and I have been kept informed throughout. I have no hesitation in using their services in the future should the occasion arise. I felt their fees are reasonable and kept to the minimum where possible.
