Testimonials

Porter Dodson were appointed as both Executors and Trustees by my late cousin. On his death, the will was finally located and Stephanie McCulloch was assigned the task of administrating the estate. Over a three year period she has provided excellent professional service in a calm inclusive and friendly manner - briefing and consulting next of kin as appropriate. Throughout it has been a pleasure to be guided by Stephanie and we would have no hesitation in recommending Porter Dodson.

Thank you for all the work you did to make sure my property transactions went smoothly. 

Just a quick note to say a massive thank you, to you and your team, for the most efficient way you all dealt with mums move. It was a pleasure dealing with you, and when our own house sale goes through, I’ll ask you to handle that as well.

My partner and I wished to update our wills and to put in place Power of Attorney. Michael Fitzgerald took us through the process for each, and was approachable, knowledgeable and very thorough throughout. We felt he had a genuine interest in making the best arrangements for us. We were happy with Porter Dodson's service when we made our original wills some years ago but our recent experience has very much confirmed to us that these are very safe hands.

I used Caron Abbott in the Sherborne branch for my conveyancing. Of the 3 moves and 3 different solicitors I have used, Caron was by far the best.

I required a solicitor to help me through pre-court proceedings for myself and my very young child. Lauren Hole has been consistently supportive, caring and kind over the last 6 months. One thing I would like to stress, is how absolutely non judgemental she has been through this incredibly difficult time. Which I'm extremely grateful for. It truly highlights her professionalism. 

I would like to say a big thank you to yourself and Danielle Luke for all your hard work. My wife and I will be eternally grateful to you and your team. Thank you again.

Porter Dodson were recommended to me and I was fortunate to be assigned Vicki Thyer who was just what I needed. She was a beacon of strength during a very difficult time, was gentle but efficient, friendly yet the consummate professional. I was so impressed and appreciative of her service I was later happy to utilise Porter Dodson again for the selling of the house and purchase of another. 

Katie Hunt dealt with all the legalities and I have been extremely grateful for excellent service from a friendly, efficient and approachable professional. I will soon be utilising Porter Dodson again to create my Will. You are in very safe hands with this company.

I would like to let you know how much I appreciate yourself for all your help with the situation I was in. I can not thank you enough! I will also be recommending you and Porter Dodson to my friends as a very high standards solicitors.

I am so grateful for your support throughout this matter. From the first moment you were involved I felt that I was in safe hands. Your communication skills are second to none. I particularly liked the firm but courteous manner you dealt with the other solicitors particularly when they were wrong about the process. Many thanks.

What I really like about this firm is the friendliness that is apparent as soon as you walk through their door or speak to anyone there by phone. We have found them highly efficient, and excellent at communication. Things get done promptly and you really know they are on your side. Our recent experience with a house sale was flawless and the charges seem very modest. We would warmly recommend this firm.

We would like to thank you for your work, everything went well and we are happy we chose Porter Dodson to help us through the house selling process.

Thank you for your professional help regarding the repossession of our flat. Finally we are now in a position to re-let it and hope for a more reliable tenant!

I had a very satisfactory service from Porter Dodson, friendly and respectful and responsive. In addition to meeting Robert as necessary the ability to telephone his direct number and get an answer/update from the solicitor actually dealing with the purchase of my new property was reassuring, informative and developed trust in the attentive service.

I had a really positive experience with Sam and her team. Extended family court proceedings are not a pleasant experience, I have worked with Sam for roughly 18 months. I would have been absolutely lost without Sam's guidance and understanding. It was also reassuring to me that she believed my account of things, always on the end of the phone to talk things through constructively and realistically, plus a really lovely person. 

We want to commend our lawyer, Tanya Hopkins, for her most important contribution to the sale and purchase of our current property. Tanya was very helpful in the sale of our property and made us feel that we were her number one client! We will always be very grateful to Porter Dodson and in particular to Tanya Hopkins.

Many thanks Hayley, you and the team are excellent!

Thank you so much for your help throughout the process. At least I know what to expect next time I decide to buy a property!

Thank you very much for your help, support and patience with the sale

We have had a wonderful service from Katie and Porter Dodson, we have found you really easy to communicate with and haven’t found we were struggling with legal jargon like some of your competitors use. You have made a sad situation much easier for us and will definitely come back to PD in the future.

Thanks to yourself, Jenny and the team, I have been very impressed with the way you have handled things from your office.

An enormous thank you for all the work you've put in to get this thing over the line. Your professionalism and humour is as refreshing as a glass of water in the desert.

Communication has always been clear and emails and queries responded to promptly by Zoe and her secretaries. Zoe clearly has great experience and insight with matrimonial difficulties and have an innate wisdom in reading the situation which is very reassuring. I knew I was in safe hands and believe that Zoe genuinely has a duty of care toward her clients, which was so evident in my case. 

Really appreciate the swift response and action, as well as good advice. Highly recommend.

A sterling service provided, while under the obstacles of the recent pandemic

Her organisation of strategic offers, consultation with counsel and the tribunal were exemplary. My expectations were well managed, and results were good.

Thorough processes that we could trust to be accurate and complete. The conveyancing team were friendly and always helpful. 

Excellent, knowledgeable, very Friendly and caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble! Definitely wouldn't have any problem deciding to use them again.

Very efficient and helpful

He's very knowledgeable on the law, very sensible and pragmatic and a tough negotiator.

Rebecca Marshall is passionate, knowledgeable, efficient, child-centred, conscientious and an excellent advocate for the children she represents.

Robyn Greenway is dynamic and leaves no stone unturned as she seeks to achieve a fair outcome for her clients in terms of achieving health and social care packages that meet their needs. She is a very welcome breath of fresh air who stands out from typical private client lawyers because of her commitment to and skill in applying public law principles to the facts of her clients’ cases.

Richard Baker was able to communicate effectively with my wife’s lawyers – something which my previous lawyer was unable to do and a resolution was found. Highly recommended.

Professional competence, humanity and sector experience. I have always found the individuals I worked with hugely accessible, personable and understanding – particularly Richard Baker.

I regularly recommend Kate James for wills and private client work. She is excellent with all types of clients, very responsive and happy to help at all times.

Ben Hingley was very professional and always helpful in whatever small detail I may not have understood and always came over in a calm and collective manner. With some very technical parts to the process Ben was very knowledgeable and lead me through the process with aplomb.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 tricky 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.

Extremely helpful, from receptionist to legal advisor. We received advice 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 friendly 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 efficient service which ensured a successful house sale conveyancing process.  The Porter Dodson team provided sound advice where required and overall value for money legal work.  We would not hesitate 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.

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 in-depth 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 constraints 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 service 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 communications 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.

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.

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.

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.

We really felt that Evelyn Adfield had our interests at heart and went out of her way to ensure we came out with a fair deal acceptable to all parties.

Richard Baker as head of team is an absolute star. He is incredibly bright, hardworking and a great tactician, and puts everyone (including the opposition) at ease. 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.

Julia Perrins is a specialist financial remedy practitioner who is a very tough litigator with over thirty years’ experience and is well used to dealing with high-value cases.

Cathryn Smith is a no-nonsense, tough practitioner who fights hard for her clients and seeks to resolve cases as swiftly and economically as possible for them; she is a very astute lawyer who comes up with practical and pragmatic solutions for clients.

Louise Sanders gives invaluable and practical advice. She will think outside the box to find workable solutions.

The team have outstanding legal knowledge, humour and tenacity; provide unbiased, fair and always accessible advice; and keep me involved and up to date with processes, enabling me to contact them ad hoc for advice. Richard Baker has been exceptional in tricky divorce proceedings.

Kate James is well respected and a hard worker, who is always happy to help and advise.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
