I was kept informed at every stage of the process and cannot praise Claire Hannaford and her team enough. Thank you.

Robert Titcombe showed compassion and understanding as well as tenacity. I am gratful to him and the team at Porter Dodson for their help.

David Beatson has been an absolute godsend through my recent guardianship case. He has always been there when needed and I never felt that anything was too much trouble. A great person with a down to earth attitude and great humour. Thank you.

A very comforting and highly professional service provided by Jennifer and Verity. Having been with Batt Sanders & Bennett since 1972, it is very reassuring that the new, larger organisation that has taken over the old, familiar firm has given us the confidence to know that our interests in both property and Wills are being looked after so well.

I have been very satisfied with all work undertaken by Porter Dodson and found them to be extremely professional at all times. Money is well spent here and confidentiality a priority, We have been kept informed of the progress regarding work undertaken and also found a member of the team readily available to talk to when needs arose. I would have no problem recommending Porter Dodson to anyone.

Adrian Poole and staff could not have been more diligent, effective, helpful and ultimately successful in representing me. I will always be hugely grateful for Adrian's skill, competence and support.

Beverley always made the time to listen to me and then offered such good advice.

Good value for money and kept in touch at each stage in the process. Speedy and clear advice throughout the procedure. Pleasant and friendly manner.

In helping us prepare our Wills and letters of wishes, Ian has been exemplary - efficient, helpful advice, good execution and remarkable value for money.

I was treated with sympathy and an understanding of my needs. The fee was very reasonable and I feel well looked after.

My first and hopefully last time I have used a law firm for a divorce. Julia Perrins explained all so I understood the first time.

Extremely helpful and pleasant, and quick and efficient. Would certainly recommend this firm, in particular, Clare Sanderson who guided me through the details.

A very helpful and efficient firm. We have certainly recommended you to others and I know they have also been very happy with your service, I know that we will use you again and a special thank you to Sarah Stone for all her advice, help and patience.

Cathryn has been incredibly professional, pragmatic and supportive. I always came away with a very clear mind and plan of action and she updated me promptly and sensitively of any progress or issues. I am pleased with the outcome, all objectives were achieved and I feel I have come away with a positive frame of mind and a future. Thank you!

Finding the right solicitor is very difficult and so very important, so when I saw the words 'All about you', I was so pleased and with Porter Dodson, that's exactly what I got. They are by far the best solicitors I have ever used but a slogan on its own does not mean a lot unless you have the staff to back it up and with Claire Hannaford, I got a service that was second to none. What a lovely person - hardworking, able to take a joke but at the same time very professional.

We have already recommended Claire Hannaford to friends who are planning to move house. She has been efficient and reliable in all aspects of our difficult house sale/purchase, showed excellent communication skills with all parties involved and kept us fully informed at all stages. We feel that she has become a trusted, knowledgeable professional who would be our first choice in a similar situation. Thank you, Claire!

We have had several moves over the last ten years and used Jennie Vaughan-Jackson and team over this period of time. We have had wonderful service - a credit to Porter Dodson.

We are extremely satisfied with all aspects of the service you provided. Efficiently courteous indeed. Appears to be a very good working team - well done to you all! Good value for the money.

Our requirements were not absolutely straightforward but were understood quickly. When explanations were needed, they were given clearly and in a relaxed way. Many thanks.

Superb service at a very difficult time. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

This has been the best experience I have ever had with a firm of solicitors. The Wills and LPA procedures were carried out with accuracy, efficiency and in the tight timeframe requested. Thank you.

If I ever need a solicitor regarding an employment claim, I would always pick Laura.

I am totally satisfied with the advice I received. It was certainly money well spent and the whole experience was done in a professional manner, as you would expect.

The help that Laura gave me was clear and concise. She went through the details explaining everything and what would happen. I was kept up to date with what was happening.

From the start, your team was supportive and helpful. Information was exchanged clearly and in a timely way. We felt well looked after and found the service efficient and effective. Many thanks.

Friendly, efficient, straightforward service. Everything well explained.

A very good service from Michelle and her team with good communication. I think the work was competitively priced and I would recommend you to others.

Concerns are listened to and answers/information given in a manner that is easily understood by the client. The atmosphere within the whole practice is warm and friendly.

Very professional and timely service. Made the house purchase simple and straightforward whilst looking after our interests. Good value for money.

I found Vicki Thyer really human to deal with, I never felt like I did not understand anything. I could always ask her questions and she gave me an answer. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Thank you, Vicki.

Having identified Beverley Rockliff, it soon became apparent that we gelled and I shall remain sincerely grateful for her wise counsel, often in difficult and frustrating episodes in the divorce. Porter Dodson, as a firm, is professional, reassuring and mindful of the trauma associated with the divorce process.

Claire made the experience of purchasing our first home an absolute pleasure! She was always quick to respond to any questions we had and was constantly working on getting us into our new home as soon as possible. We would definitely recommend Claire and Porter Dodson and will look to use them again in the future.

Both Claire and Sarah were always professional, polite and approachable in all their dealings with me. Claire answered my queries simply and concisely, she also knew what was happening with the sale. Wish I had used Claire for my own home purchase and sale. Thank you.

This was my first experience of using a solicitor and it was very positive. Claire was friendly and helpful. She was supportive throughout the process and I am pleased with the outcome.

Approachable, easy to understand, clear, extremely quick, good communication. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

I was very impressed with how easy the whole process was of compiling my Will. I found Hannah very helpful indeed and she gave me excellent advice. I would use her and the company again.

This was a friendly and supportive experience. The advice was appropriate and helpful. Money well spent.

I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and extremely helpful Ian Sankey was during my communications with him. I would be very happy and confident to recommend his services.

We were very impressed with Jennifer and Verity. The service was excellent and Jennifer responded quickly to questions and queries. We felt that they worked very efficiently and professionally. We wouldn't hesitate in using Porter Dodson again in the future.

Certainly having such an efficient one-to-one meeting enabled us to clarify legal points and financial details and also family matters with Kerensa Cooper, who handled everything extremely well.

Laura was extremely helpful and personable. The advice she provided was clear and put in understandable language. I was very happy with the service provided.

Advice from Laura has been very clear and I really appreciate the fact she is available via a direct line rather than via email alone.

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Have used Porter Dodson on many occasions. In my opinion, always money well spent.

We first met Peter Cooke some years ago when he drew up our previous Wills. We are very happy with the service Peter has given us through Porter Dodson.

We were recommended by friends to consult Porter Dodson and we were not disappointed. Those who we met dealt with us courteously and professionally, explaining things very patiently and well, which made it an experience that we actually enjoyed, having been apprehensive beforehand. We certainly feel it was money well spent and we'll certainly recommend your firm to others.

Robyn has been great, she has taken the time to explain everything step by step, always available (either on the phone or email), very understanding to our circumstances and we will be continuing to use Robyn with ongoing work.

We have personally and as a family been using Porter Dodson with complete satisfaction for many years and have no reason to change our opinions.

Stephen Wray completed my work with great skill. The result was excellent. I would not have obtained such a good result without his knowledge. He could not have done anything better for me and I would always and only use Porter Dodson.

Adrian solved our problems quickly and efficiently and it was well worth the money at the time.

We found Cara extremely approachable. Particular merit should go to Cara over the manner in which our mediation was conducted. Her determination to achieve the best possible outcome was commendable.

Porter Dodson was efficient and professional as per usual. I have been with the firm for over 30 years and have always been very happy and satisfied with the firm and service I have received.

Ian Sankey was extremely supportive from start to finish in the difficult task of executing our mother's Will. Ian was always there for us when we needed him to give advice and he showed the greatest tact and consideration when dealing with a delicate family situation. We are most grateful as a family for the excellent service we received.

We were delighted with Jennie's highly professional approach to every aspect of the conveyancing work. We would have no hesitation in either recommending Porter Dodson or utilising your services again.

Absolutely money well spent and got our mortgage and house sorted for us with no time wasted.

I was very pleased with the advice and support I got from the team. I have already recommended you to others who find themselves in the same position as I was. Thank you very much.

We found Kerensa and her team to be completely professional and trustworthy. We were dealt with in a friendly and unhurried way, which instilled confidence in us. Everything we were told would be done was done. Excellent service.

Excellent. This was a fairly straightforward matter but was still assigned a high level of importance. It was expertly dealt with and all involved ensured it was completed in a timely manner.

As always, good advice, help and service from Lucy Horsington and her team. Wouldn't go anywhere else - have used your firm for over 20 years and will continue to do so, when necessary.

Lucy and her colleagues provided an excellent service. She described each stage of the process as clearly and simply as she could and provided the right level of information to help us in my decision making. Would highly recommend her and her colleagues to others.

We had no hesitation in using Porter Dodson knowing that Michelle Wilson would be acting for us. Previous experience has shown that she is thorough, professional and has the interest of her clients at heart.

Very speedy, efficient and professional. I felt I could completely put my trust in Michelle Wilson and her colleague, Tanya. I was able to visit a closer office, which made my life much easier. Thank you so much!

Richard Baker has been the very essence of kindness towards me as he has steered me through a very difficult and traumatic time. He has been truly professional and achieved an outcome for me that I was very happy with. A huge big thank you, Richard.

A very competent and professional firm. Richard was excellent at cutting through what often seemed confusing correspondence. Also advising an honest and realistic outcome.

As a retired legal executive, I was delighted with every part of the service from Robert. He was very efficient and friendly.

Very quick and efficient service, well coordinated and kept well informed throughout the process.

For my engagement, since the outcomes were not known at the beginning, I feel I received the best result. Updates were frequent, clearly explained with next steps outlined.

Robyn Greenway is a delightful legal advisor who was extremely helpful.

Thank you for all your help and kindness, particularly over the period of my husband's death. I was always warmly welcomed, dealt with promptly, politely and helpfully.

From the moment we entered Porter Dodson's offices, we were made to feel welcome. Sarah was a delight to deal with and was courteous, pleasant and professional throughout our meetings. Thank you for making our business so easy.

Sarah and Clair were very polite, attentive and professional. We could not have been served any better.

Thank you for providing me with your excellence of service. I feel safely reassured, comfortable, and delightfully pleased with the thought that your firm has fully given their very best to me. Thank you again.

Amanda and the rest of the team have been superb in supporting me through my divorce.

Cara Hough was first class. I could not have wished for anyone better. Very professional in everything she did.

Whilst it was a very difficult time in my life, Cathryn was very easy to work with. Full of empathy and compassion. Cathryn was very organised, timely and efficient. She always delivered what was agreed and was always available. Cathryn is excellent and I don't know how you can improve on perfection!

Claire Hannaford was exceptional, in our by now rather extensive experience. She was incredibly prompt, efficient, friendly and polite. A thorough professional. Head and shoulders above all the other firms we've dealt with both as vendors and purchasers in the last three years.

We felt Clare was excellent. Efficient and friendly!

A very professional service by Gemma and Clare. Thank you.

I would like to say that Hannah has been the most charming, professional, kind and helpful solicitor I have ever dealt with. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness at this difficult time for me. I will recommend Hannah and your company to everyone.

Ian Sankey completely understood what was required and dealt with the administration of my father's estate in an exemplary manner. His interaction with me and my brother was very efficient and worked well.

The best legal service I have ever experienced. Jennie, don't give up practicing!

Very good communication, readily available to answer questions and provide sound, reliable help.

Julia 'held my hand' all the way, especially at the dark times when I couldn't think straight due to the stress.

Myself and family are completely satisfied with the overall service that we have had with your team at the Yeovil branch and I have dealt with your firm since 1959. I can't find anything that could have improved the procedure we had.

I appreciated the calm and friendly way in which they dealt with a difficult situation.

Laura was very good and travelled to Wellington to see me. Her advice was clear and she was very easy to listen to and professional in her manner. A credit to the company.

I really can't fault the service I received from Lucy. She explained everything to us in layman's terms and was always available to call or email should we need to clarify something.

Thank you for such a quick, efficient service Michelle!

Actively sought out Michelle Wilson to act on our behalf, which we are so glad we did. An exceptional service from Porter Dodson, supportive and reassuring during an emotional, difficult house purchase!

When we were looking for a solicitor to act for us, you said you would look forward to taking care of us and we feel that this is exactly what you have done.

Brilliant, can't fault you. Reasonable price for the service.

My requirement was dealt with extremely professionally by Peter, who guided me through the process answering any questions I had. First class service.

Excellent.

Can't think of a thing that could add to the excellent and prompt service provided with an understanding approach and a calm, informative and friendly attitude regarding our requirements, Stars all round!

Diligent and provided an excellent service at a competitive price.
