Testimonials

Reasonable fees, lovely people, incredibly thorough and truly understanding

I have no experience of other law firms. I have been with your firm, in its various incarnations, for over 40 years!

A very positive experience. Extremely helpful and professional service throughout. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very impressed with the speed and thoroughness of Porter Dodson in progressing the purchase of our flat and sale of our house. Much faster than is generally thought to be the case.

Claire Keating has been so incredibly supportive of us, making every step of the process of selling my 80 year old mother's house as smooth and pain-free as possible. The conveyance dealing with the purchase was obstructive to say the very least, making Claire's work nearly impossible at times, hence the 7 month process to completion. Claire's professionalism was exemplary and she maintained such a warm friendly and patient approach, always making everything understandable and accessible. Claire's efforts in completing the sale .are nothing short of a miracle. For us, Claire is simply wonderful!

Excellent service! Tanya did a first-rate job in selling my mother's house. Despite the challenges of COVID, she was always responsive, helpful and diligent. We plan to move any future business to Porter Dodson as a result.

After a very difficult year I received excellent service, phone calls were returned and professional advice given. Very good value for money.

Your service was impeccable. Charlotte was very thoughtful and thorough. Money well spent.

Absolutely great. Very responsive and professional. I think that you offer an excellent service at a reasonable price. I've not really had dealings with other law firms but would consider Porter Dodson are a good representation of how a law firm should operate. Many thanks, Stephanie and colleagues, great job!

I have used Amy twice, she is excellent in all ways.

Emily was very clear and did not use legal jargon - we liked that!

The team at Porter Dodson were always attentive, answered queries and concerns quickly and explained things clearly in a way that I could understand.

We have received the most excellent service and help from Lucy and the firm - thank you very much indeed. I would certainly use you again and recommend you.

Extremely efficient. Corresponding by email worked well. In our limited experience, we consider the cost to be totally acceptable. In conclusion, we would like to thank Robert and his team for expediting our sale and purchase. Needless to say, should we require any legal assistance in the future, we would not hesitate to contact you.

Thanks for everything!  We have both been very happy with the way that things have been dealt with from the start. From start to completion, we have had the very best of legal help.

I feel confident that you have given clear and appropriate legal advice. The customer service has been very good. I believe you are more competent and professional than some other local legal firms.

Although I haven't met Tanya face to face due to covid, I felt I knew her.  She was very helpful and efficient, thank you!

From the start it was evident that we had been very lucky to be recommended Jenny. She is extremely efficient, proactive, thorough and inspires confidence in the client. Unlike other solicitors we have used, it is refreshing that phone calls are immediately picked up, and responded to. Her team was well briefed and knowledgeable of our situaation.  We would highly recommend, and will certainly use Porter Dodson again.

I never gave a second thought to using anyone but Porter Dodson Sherborne office to do my will as generations of my family use the office. Alice was lovely and answered any questions I had. I wasn't rushed at any point. Thank you Alice.

Professional but  a friendly approach. Gave good explanation of procedures and clarified all costs. Speedy acknowledgement of any correspondance.

We have purchased and sold many properties over the last 35 years. Michelle is by far the best legal advisor I have ever dealt with. She was professional, prompt, knowledgeable, proactive and provided a seamless service with her team during a trickey sale and purchase. Many thanks, we really appreciate it!

Very easy to talk to. Was quite anxious about making my will over the phone but once I spoke to Lucy and Sarah, I felt very confident in dealing with such an important subject without actually meeting the people I was putting my trust in.

The practice has always provided us with excellent legal advice and we had no hesitation in approaching PD to carry out the conveyance on one of our properties.  Communication was very good throughout and any queries were answered swiftly and clearly. We were provided with a quotation for the legal work at the outset and what would be provided for the sun was clearly stated. The fee charged was fair. We have very limited experience of another legal practice - one conveyance many years ago - but in our view Porter Dodson is the best by far. Charlotte and everyone with whom we had contact was friendly and approachable.

Extremely helpful, from receptionist to legal advisor. We received advise and explanation that enabled us to make informed decisions. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Excellent value for money.

You have been fantastic, helping us at every step of the way, everything was well explained and definitely money well spent.

A very professional and friends service. We were kept informed throughout the process which was very reassuring. We will certainly use your services in the future. You managed to maintain communications through a pandemic - very impressive, thank you!

We have been delighted with Zara over the sale of my mother's cottage in Seavington. She is always prompt replying to my queries and would have completed weeks ago if it wasn't for the "useless" (to put it mildly) solicitors on the other side. She was very speedy with the sale in August of my partner's house in Bower Hinton, hence my engaging her. Definitely money well spent!

Everyone was very professional, very helpful along the way, communication was brilliant.  I cannot fault anyone and would highly recommend Porter Dodson.

Robyn has a very pleasant demeanor.  She was able to set me at ease which is not always an easy thing to do.  She explained everything I needed to know in a very relaxed and easy way and answered all my questions and concerns.

As expected - amazing, professional and efficient service by Zara.

I cannot praise Lisa enough for how well she cared for me and organised my divorce on my behalf. She was very attentive to my needs as a client and was always readily available if I needed anything to do with my case to be further explained or clarified, She is fantastic and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone in need of her services.

My daughter and I found the whole experience professional, yet with a very personal and friendly approach.  We enjoyed it all and are grateful it was all so caringly completed.

Amy provided an excellent, professional service through the sale/purchase of our house.

Your team are very professional and knowledgeable.  They listen carefully and explain complicated procedures clearly. During such difficult times they have worked under very challenging circumstances - home working and working late into evenings and at weekends. Despite this the results have allowed us to complete on our sale and purchase. A sincere thank you.

Responses from Michelle, Louise and Sonya were always prompt and helpful. We felt content knowing that they were looking after our sale and purchase. I've never been in contact with another law firm, however, I would not consider using any other law in the future, if I could help it. Great service from the team.

I was happy with the service we received - most of the contact was with Sophie who was excellent.  Very clear communication from everyone with regular updates on the status if probate. Last year I had to deal with another solcitors firm in another location with appalling service so I really appreciate how you handled mother's estate.

Michelle and team did a great job with both purchase and sale, keeping our interest at the forefront of considerations.  I felt the service was excellent value for money. Compare to other solicitors in our chain, definitely top marks!

Excellent service, as always, from the staff at Porter Dodson. Claire was always courteous, efficient, cheerful and supportive throughout.

Amazing work from Claire and her team to get what ended up being quite a tricky move (sale & purchase) through to completion. We were kept updated at all times and appreciated the availability and approachable, professional communication. Thank you.

Everybody I dealt with was extremely helpful answering any questions I had in a simple, easy to understand way. I was notified of costs and all aspects of making my will, so no hidden surprises.

Clear explanation of process, excellent communication via phone email and post. Good value for service provided.  Good anti-Covid provisions.

We have found Porter Dodson very efficient. We would definitely use Lesley and you company if needed in the future.

Excellent service from Claire and her team. Always there if we had a question. Good value compared to estate agent's fees!

I saw Lucy regarding a Lasting Power of Attorney. She explained all that was entailed and I was kept up to date at each stage. I found her to be a very professional, clearly spoken and understanding person.

Having been recommended to go to Porter Dodson, I can now see why and your practice would be my 'go to' solicitor of choice in the future. I was very impressed by Zara and was only sad that I couldn't use her for my purchase as the company were acting for the vendor. Obviously great minds think alike!

Always a good service. I trust Jennifer implicitly to ensure all necessary information is received and checked before progression to exchange. I have used other law firms but always regretted not choosing Porter Dodson and wouldn't use anyone else in the future for conveyancing.

As always, very happy indeed with the service I have received from Sharon, and I certainly consider it to be money well spent.

Really helpful, very easy process. We would always prefer to do any business by video conference. Signing well organised and straightforward. Really happy with everything - well done team.

We had an initial meeting with Lesley in which she described how we needed to proceed to make alterations to our wills and to create LPAs. After a long delay on our part, we returned to complete the process. At no point did we feel under any pressure and everything was fully and clearly explained. The process of completing the signatures was made more complex and slow by the pandemic but it was eventually completed, again without any pressure from Porter Dodson.

Lucy is a star. Thorough, patient and sympathetic.

Whenever I had a query regarding my house sale, it was always explained well.  Quick replies. Safely dealt with during Covid.

Very happy with Stephanie's approach to the work required.  Very helpful and gave me confidence that my requirements would be met.  Stephanie has a remarkable ability to provide reassurance and convey complex detail in such a ways as for me as the client to fully understand what is to be done.

I have been with Porter Dodson since we started farming in 1954.  After my husband died we sold the farm and bought a property with my son. I used you then. I now, I hope, have made my final will and hope you will take care of things when I die.

Very quick and efficient responses to queries, felt well looked after.  Much better experience than first house purchase with rival Bridport company!

A trouble free transaction made even better by the professionalism and friendliness of the legal team assisting us. Thanks Michelle, Sonya and Louise.

We were dealt with by Tom in a very friendly and professional manner. Any queries we had during the process were answered promptly and to our entire satisfaction. Thank you.

Jenny has been absolutely outstanding throughout. The level of interest, attention to detail and proficiency has been amazing. Would recommend Jenny to anyone buying a house and be confident you will receive an excellent service.

Very proficient and professional. Refused to yield to pressure from sellers. Courteous and very helpful.

I was generally very happy with the service that was provided by Porter Dodson.  Jennifer was extremely thorough and professional and she worked very hard to meet the demanding deadlines we had imposed on the sale. She was polite and helpful when contacting me and I felt I was in good hands throughout.

Most efficient firm I have dealt with in Bridport.  My will was done in a very short time and fully explained. Stephanie is a great asset to you and a very pleasant person to deal with.

I have used Porter Dodson for my legal work for a very long time. I have always been satisfied with their work and have found them easy to work with, particularly in making things easy to understand. Generally their advice has been excellent. Despite the lack of personal, face to face contact due to the COVID-19 pandemic, matters relating to my will and LPAs have progressed smoothly to a satisfactory conclusion.

Stephanie made the whole process very easy and arranged an online meeting when I was self-isolating. Straight forward and efficient.  Thank you.

Very efficient and friendly service, in particular the link up with McCarthy and Stone.

A job well done given current circumstances.  All correspondence being done by email except where paperwork dictates. A shame not to meet Claire and the team face-to-face.

The service and consideration we received from Peter and Melanie is outstanding.  They are efficient, compassionate and outstandingly knowledgeable and helpful.  We could not have asked for a better service in everything we have consulted over.  Many thanks!

Everyone that I met at Porter Dodson was friendly, kind and helpful. I felt as if nothing was too much trouble. I was kept up to date and was pleasantly surprised at the bill!  My friend has recently had experience dealing with another firm of solicitors and did not have such a good outcome. I will certainly recommend you. Thank you.

A difficult time to manage any dealings with a solicitor due to restrictions of the current pandemic. My business was still carried out in a professional manner.

First Class Service.  Zara and the team did a great job under very difficult circumstances.

We found the whole team to be very courteous and very professional.  I always felt like I was the only client you were dealing with even though you probably had many others to deal with.  I am glad I chose Porter Dodson despite trying to be bullied into using building development preferred solicitors.

The team were always very helpful and professional.  They dealt with my requirements for the sale of my mothers property in a friendly and understanding way.  This was work I could not have undertaken myself, always keeping me up to date with progress.  I feel fees were very reasonable considering the work undertaken so money well spent as I am confident that everything is in order. That confidence is very important.

I chose your company because of all the great online reviews you have received. Laura Roper is professional and knowledgeable in her field. She would assess a question and think "out of the box" which is great. Phone calls were very courteous, relaxing but engaging at the same time. Laura will always go the extra mile as I would be receiving information after work hours. I could go on and on. She is an asset to Porter Dodson.

Issue was resolved successfully after good advice.

Claire Keating and Sharon Collier explain everything clearly; work quickly and efficiently; are very professional but also very friendly and easy to deal with. Far superior to other legal firms/departments I have had to contend with!

Amy was very clear and concise in correspondance.  Sometimes I felt that the paperwork did not reflect a BTL mortgage but Amy always gave clear direction. No unexpected fees, which I am pleased about. Quick turnover for completion.

Excellent customer service; friendly, helpful, efficient.  Gave confidence and reassurance in advice given and service provided, no surprises.  You did just what I asked in a timely, efficient and professional yet friendly way.  Thank You!

Excellent Service - quick responses.  Verity was very patient with my silly questions! I learnt a lot about moving and what's involved.

Polite, fast and efficient.  Questions answered knowledgeably.  Money well spent.

I can only say that I could not be happier with the way in which our dealings with your company were handled.  This was true throughout, from the first phone call to completion.  However, recommendations count and I was recommended by my daughter, also how my sister's will was carried out many years ago by your company.  Everything was carried out in a totally professional and yet friendly way with COVID-19 at the present time.  Things cannot be easy for any company but Porter Dodson rose to the fore with the excellence of Sharon.

From my first contact with Porter Dodson, I was incredibly impressed with not only the professionalism, but also, and especially, with the flexibility and helpfulness.  Unlike many professional firms, I did not feel at all that the main focus was fee generation, in fact I would say that the level of service I received was incredible value for money, and at all times your service was customer focused.

Friendly, reliable and informative.  I haven't had a great deal of experience with law firms, but I do feel on this occasion that it has been money well spent.  Thank you!

Excellent and fast service.  Very professional.

Work carried out quickly and satisfactorily, even in today's difficult period due to COVID-19.

This is a very competent company.  Despite the overwhelming difficulties with COVID restrictions, the service I received was exemplary.  Tanya always communicated in clear, concise and elegant English - such a pleasure.  Necessary phone calls were equally well conducted.  Mine was a difficult case with boundary dispute and treatment plant problems - Tanya dealt with all these with good sense, speed and clear direction.

I’d just like to say thank you to you and your team for all the help and “handholding“ with the process.

I’d certainly be very happy to recommend you and your firm to other advisers who may go through this themselves.

BRILLIANT. Kept us informed every inch of the way. Could not ask for a better service, thank you Jenny and team.

You were helpful and understanding at what was for me a very difficult time.  I am grateful for a job well done.

Quick responses, kept up to date, informed at each stage. Thank you.

I have nothing but praise for the way Ian has handled this aspect of my affairs.  Efficient, sympathetic and well worth the money spent.

Lovely firm to work with, staff polite and very helpful, especially with explanations. Good value for money and compare well with other firms.  Would thoroughly recommend.

I'm quite a grumpy person at times, so I'm told, and really resent paying "professional" fees if the individual is in any way unprofessional.  It hurts. Jenny was superb - flawless communication (which matters so much) by email, letter and phone. Personable, light hearted but so clearly in charge with total command of the process - I was reassured all the way.  Funnily enough, I've been working with other solicitors lately who pale in comparison: yes, I will work with PD again - Jenny has set the bar high.  She was ably supported by Rosemary and Bethany. Bethany is new I believe? I thought she was excellent.

Excellent in every single step, very friendly, highly recommended.

Well informed, patient and efficient.  It is a good many years since I have used a different law firm and I am unlikely to do so in this area.

On the ball, sharp and committed to serve, excellent service levels.  Some professional services are worth paying a premium for; in this sale, for example, Porter Dodson has proven value for money.

Very professional, good guidance, quick response times, great clarity/explanations.

Efficient, prompt and excellent service, especially as my will was updated during second lockdown.

"The service provided to us was first class, even with all the hold ups from the other party, we were always made aware and kept up to date.

I would say Claire went above and beyond with her support and advice during a very stressful time,  She was amazing."

Purchased a house during the global pandemic.  We much preferred email correspondance and telephone consultation and were extremely pleased with our service.  We were happy to pay a little extra for Porter Dodson for the ease of use and seamless service.

"Very helpful and professional at all times and especially during these difficult circumstances of COVID and our own lack of mobility."

"Professional and competent - You get what you pay for.  Porter Dodson have acted for us with the house sale/purchase and previous wills.  They compare excellently with other solicitors we have used in the past.  We were looked after very well and felt perfectly safe under COVID19 rules."

" We always receive consistent and helpful advice.  Telephones answered and any query attended to quickly. Very efficent and care about their clients."

"Zara and the team always work with speed and tenacity - 10 out of 10!"

'Throughout a most satisfactory experience; from initial contact (this is the first time that we have used Porter Dodson) to completion of signing of the documents we received timely and relevant advice, both with respect to drawing up Wills and gifting. Fees possibly slightly higher than others in the area but not excessive and service definitely better. All managed well despite Covid19 restrictions.'

"We were very happy and satisfied with everything. We have already recommended you to a friend. Not expensive, brilliant, well done!"

"Members of your staff were most pleasant, friendly and helpful. In particular we were very grateful that they took the trouble to visit us to tie up any points and witness our signatures etc. We would, of course, come back to you without any hesitation."

"Laura was excellent at dealing with the sale of the land.  We had a sensitive case to deal with as it involved dividing the proceeds of the sale between two people.  She did all the work with efficiency, professionalism and tact."

"Lucy was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, dealing with my dad's will and probate with professionalism and empathy to our situtation."

"Never used another law firm.  Been with you for 53 years and always been very satisfied."

"I wanted to keep the house sale with Porter Dodson as Ian Sankey was acting for my aunt's (deceased) estate.  The outline of costs was very clear and the booklet provided on buying and selling houses was useful."

"I was impressed with the work done by David from Day 1.  He rapidly got to grips with our case and provided very strong support.  Everything was on time and clearly explained."

"Friendly, approachable whilst still retaining the appropriate advisor/client relationship.  Efficient, trouble-free transaction.  Terms of business for the transaction clear.  Other firms we have had to deal with have been far less effective and left us at times confused.  So unless absolutely necessary, why go elsewhere?"

"Mr Coppard was aware that I was purchasing property because my wife had died, so his input was more than a business transaction: the personal, compassionate touch also played a part. Indeed I would say that was the outstanding feature in a world which is sadly becoming increasingly technological and impersonal."

"Dealt with in the highest professional manner"

"Excellent value and service. Extremely quick and efficient under very difficult circumstances."

"Attentive, value for money and reliable comms."

"The advice I got was excellent.  Going through a divorce with a child and realising you have been emotionally abused for years makes you feel helpless.  I felt very supported by Lisa and she kept me informed at every step."

"Have used Porter Dodson for several years and the service is always professional and very good.  Amy is very efficient and gets on with the job quickly.  Communication, which is key for us, is always excellent."

• Great instant answers to calls and queries;
• Proactive;
• Well priced for the speed and quality of service;
• "On it"!

I couldn't be happier. I did this transaction on behalf of my elderly mother in a time of stress/COVID post the death of my father.  It was a blessing you were all so efficient.

"I have always found Lesley Hamilton and her team to be most helpful.  I have always dealt with Porter Dodson and I will continue to do so."

"Excellent services as always, thank you. I'm very relieved to have sorted this out. Kate made it very easy."

" We received a professional and efficent service which ensured a successful house sale convenacing process.  The Porter Dodson team provided sound advice where required and overall value for money legal work.  We would not hestiate to recommend the Firm."

"Our seller's solicitor was totally uncooperative and we would not have completed on time if it wasn't for Tanya going the extra mile to make it happen.  We are most grateful to her."

"Porter Dodson has been excellent in all ways, very helpful all the way through giving very good advice and always there if you need help.  I would recommend you to anyone."

"Friendly and quick to respond.  I have used Porter Dodson for a selection of legal issues, all of which have been managed and supported in a very professional manner."

"A very professional and well communicated service."

"Tom advised us on our Wills, planning for the future and also Power of Attorney etc.  He was absolutely brilliant at grasping our situation and provided very indepth advice. We are now sorted for the future.  All carried out by phone due to COVID19 - Excellent."

"Although the majority of the time we were all dealing with the contraints imposed by COVID19, Zara and her team were always available either via phone, email or an impromptu meeting to exchange documents in the car park! Well done for coping so well.  Always polite and willing to help.  Thank you for making a difficult situation easy."

"I have been very impressed and pleased with the serivce provided to me by Mr Coppard.  All the communications have been easy to understand and must have taken a considerable amount of time and expertise to prepare."

"Excellent and reasonable service.  All commnications were easy to understand and Robert was always available to answer questions.  Really pleased with the service provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others."

"Extremely satsified with both sale and purchase.  Claire was available at all times, often replying to my emails in the evening and very early morning, taking the trouble to explain things I didn't understand and working very hard to bring the transaction to a conclusion - which she did most successfully."

"Very happy with the service provided by Porter Dodson. More than anything we feel we can trust their knowledge, advice and professionalism and feel confident they are acting in our best interests.  Accessibility is key and that is good, so is the total clarity given to costs.  Well done to Porter Dodson, will certainly recommend you to others."

'Robert Coppard has been incredible. He kept me informed every step of the way and I had full confidence in him. He has gone above and beyond everything I could've wished for.'

"A brilliant effort all round lasting ten months of torment. Everyone kept their heads which was very much appreciated."

'Attended a retirement course with Leonardo Helicopters where Sarah gave a presentation on your services. We were impressed with the overall professionalism and as our wills required updating, we did not hesitate to contact yourselves.'

'Over several years I have used other legal advisors but suffice to say I will contact Porter Dodson when next I need legal assistance. Very professional service with information delivered promptly and described in layman's language.'

'Adrian Poole is an outstanding employment lawyer who is also a master of tactics. He generates high-quality work, which he is able to retain because of his exceptional client care skills. He will always go the extra mile for his client and is never afraid to take on ‘the big boys’ – usually successfully. He thrives in this field and never fails to give 100%. It is a testament to Mr Poole`s dedication to the firm and its clients, that he is still there, leading the team, when he would clearly be an obvious target for many of the bigger firms in the South West and beyond.'

'Sarah Young was incredibly helpful, personable and took temporary charge of the case at a critical moment. She carefully thought out a solution to the issues at hand and deployed this with skill and expertise despite the delicacy of the situation, helping ensure an optimal outcome. I was delighted to work with Sarah and she displayed great empathy and understanding, both during the case and afterwards. I would highly recommend Sarah.'

'Laura Roper is good at achieving commercially sensible result, a strong technical lawyer who does not lose sight of the wood for the trees.'

'Adrian Poole was calm, understanding, and maintained excellent perspective. He managed the case over several months as a master conductor, allowing time to play out where needed and responding quickly when required. He was sensitive to the particular demands and challenges of the situation and was incredibly empathic, supportive and helpful on a personal level. His knowledge and understanding of mental health and discrimination law in relation to my case was particularly valuable and ensured a successful outcome. He always worked to keep costs to a minimum and was quick to advise on the options available when I had to make decisions. It was a pleasure to instruct Adrian on this case and I would highly recommend him.'

'Adrian Poole is a strong technical lawyer, who is willing to innovate to achieve results. He is passionate about his clients.'

'Louise Sanders and Victoria Walker are totally committed to our business and have years of experience at working at our pace with  lots of complexity.'

He is also incredibly efficient, as are the other members of the team, which provides excellent value for money for clients. He can deal with clients from a broad range of backgrounds equally well and all with good humour.'

'Robert Coppard and Jolie Stokes were both excellent and were prepared to go that extra mile. Certainly good value for money.'

Excellent - both Anna & Sarah went 'that extra mile'.

Wonderful, thank you so much for all your advice, support and care.

The service I received was outstanding. Buying and selling a house rarely runs smoothly and throughout the whole process, your entire team was patient, understanding and very supportive. I would highly recommend Michelle and her team to friends and family. I would definitely use them again should the need arise.

We have used Porter Dodson for 17 years. ALWAYS given a faultless service. ALWAYS gone above and beyond. NEVER come across another solicitor company who compares.

Professional and efficient service with courteous and knowledgable communication and timely responses to questions. Good value for money and friendly and approachable.

Thank you to all involved with the sale of my flat. I couldn't give you one negative thing to say. Everything was perfect. I have used Porter Dodson for other work in the past and I will definitely be using you for future work.

Friendly and willing to answer all of our questions (we had plenty as first-time buyers!). Worked efficiently and easy to get hold of, meaning we moved in when hoped for - thank you.

All very efficient and thorough.

I was very happy with the service I received. Tanya Hopkins was really helpful, and as everything had to be done over the phone, it helped a great deal. Money well spent.

Excellent firm to deal with. A very personal touch.

An extremely professional service clearly demonstrating expertise and compassion. Would highly recommend Michelle and her team. There was no stone left unturned and knew we were in safe and capable hands from the get-go! Thank you, Michelle, for helping us get our dream house.

The sale of this house was a tedious process but Tanya was always positive and quick to reply to the purchaser's solicitor. The price was fair and the sale proceeded in a timely fashion.

First-class service from Sam Smith and Nicole Spencer-White. Extremely professional service throughout the case. Very clear and offered support and guidance. Would highly recommend your services to others.

It has been a delight to work with Kerensa and Sophie through a very trying time. I will recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone regarding probate work. I cannot think of a better word than 'star' for both of them. They have looked after me through the worst experience of my life.

Michelle was very clear about the process and offered practical advice.

The solicitor I engaged was understanding and organised. Cara did not send unnecessary emails or letters and ensured that my money was well spent. The outcome was entirely satisfactory and executed as swiftly as possible. I would definitely use Porter Dodson in future.

This was a protracted purchase owing to Covid-19 but I was impressed that we managed to complete with all barriers overcome. I was particularly pleased with the way Michelle dealt with the lease complications. She always shows that she has the clients' interests at heart. She is a thorough and approachable professional. I could not ask for a better service.

I have recommended you and I was pleased to suggest you are nigh on perfect!

A huge thanks to you and your team for getting us over the finishing line with this purchase during such strange and testing times. As always, your professionalism and attention to important detail are second to none.

Throughout the engagement, Ian was friendly, listened well, explained things clearly and was very efficient in processing this matter. I am clear not only that the fee was money well spent, but was also good value.

Patient, practical, professional guidance throughout.

Very efficient and timely service. Good communication links and felt things ran really smoothly. Proactive approach. Thank you.

Excellent service, good value for money, very efficient, professional and answered questions quickly and thoroughly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We have used Porter Dodson twice for conveyancing and now for our wills. We have found their service and attention to be first-class and would highly recommend them.

Adrian was very helpful during my case and provided a lot of support. Dawn would also continually keep me up to date on progress. Overall I am happy with how my case was dealt with and appreciate all of the time spent.

Very good, appeared on the ball and answered all questions in a timely manner. Evelyn clearly knew her subject matter.

I am happy to say that I have been really impressed with how Porter Dodson has dealt with my case. Everyone has been very friendly, courteous, efficient and patient. I would certainly recommend your services.

Very professional, efficient and courteous, as were all Porter Dodson staff I encountered!

Amy was helpful and professional, going above and beyond, especially in the difficult environment caused by Covid-19. Very impressed. When we buy a house following this, we shall hope she can represent us.

Both Adrian and Dawn were extremely helpful and professional in my dealings with Porter Dodson. I have since recommended their services to family and friends.

We have always received excellent service from Porter Dodson. All staff are efficient, friendly and helpful. We have, and will continue, to highly recommend Porter Dodson! Huge thank you to Michelle for completing on the sale of the property, particularly in these difficult circumstances!

With a very long protracted chain, Porter Dodson did everything they could to hold the situation together at some very tense moments. You got us through and we are very grateful.

Our service with Charlotte was incredible. She was quick, clear and always happy to do as much as she could for us. We couldn't have got a better conveyancer and service! Definitely money well spent!

A source says: "He is extremely knowledgeable and has great attention to detail - you can have a great working relationship with him and when he's your opponent you know things will be done efficiently and wisely."

She is "very hard-working, sensible and pragmatic," according to a source, with another describing her as "tenacious, focused and a talented advocate."

'Evelyn Adfield was outstanding, she has the gravitas of a major London law firm combined with the communication skills of a friendly in-house law team.'

Both Claire Hannaford and Grace Coombes acted wonderfully quickly, thoroughly and efficiently. The entire process was stress free and couldn't have been more professional.

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.

Really good advice. Things explained properly. Would definitely use Julia Perrins again in the future if needed.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
