Reena Raval is well known as the most knowledgeable and experienced conveyancing solicitor in the South West. That reputation, in our experience, is fully justified. Reena grasped all the issues and negotiated, on our behalf, with ‘the other side’. Reena is kind, efficient and experienced. My wife and I are very, very grateful and recommend her without hesitation.

My wife and I used Porter Dodson for conveyancing on the recommendation of our estate agent, and we are vey glad that we did. Reena and her team kept us up to date and explained in detail the process of selling our property. Reena had to deal with both the solicitor of our purchaser and also the solicitor of the management company. She did so with skill and patience when the other two solicitors at were not, at times, always up to speed. We have also employed Porter and Dodson to act as conveyancers for the purchase of our new build. I expect this transaction will go equally as smoothly. I can certainly recommend this company.

Very good experience with our home sale and purchase, despite having difficulties with the online conveyancers at the bottom of the chain, Reena Raval and Beckie Old persisted and eventually succeeded. Well Done.
