Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Reviews 

Helpful and approachable from the beginning of a challenging conveyancing situation. Responsive
and helpful information through the process and
advice thereon.

An excellent, thoroughly professional and efficient conveyancing service provided by friendly, diligent, knowledgable and responsive staff. Caron Abbott of the Sherborne office initiated the work then Bethany O’Hare of the Poundbury branch, ably assisted by James Morris, assumed responsibility. Despite heavy work loading and a substantial number of queries Bethany resolutely drove the process forward to achieve completion within the financial year. I have no hesitation of strongly recommending Porter Dodson and Bethany O’Hare in particular. However, perhaps the most compelling endorsement is that I have already decided to request Bethany to act for me on other matters.

Reena, and all at Porter Dodson were friendly, and very reassuring after i instructed them at very late notice, that they could complete on a house that I bought at auction in just 5 working days, which they did, very efficiently. All the stress was taken away from me.
Highly recommend.

Super slick, process with buying and selling. Reena Ravel and Amy Bishop were quick, efficient and super responsive. Would highly recommend.

As a family, we have used Porter Dodson in Bridport for many aspects of legal advice and representation over several years. We have received consistently professional and supportive services for Wills, Trusts, Deeds, Conveyancing - the list goes on!

Two years ago, our mum was admitted to a Care Home and we have not only had to cope with the stress and anxiety that this brings, but we have also had to endure a fraught house clearance and sale over this 2 year period. We were unlucky with fallen sales and other complications, but we were supported by Porter Dodson every step of the way.

I would particularly like to thank Reena Raval who has been involved with the house sale since the beginning. She is a very professional and competent conveyancing expert. She is kind and empathetic and easily accessible by phone when you need to discuss and share a frustration, rather than send an email!

I would highly recommend Porter Dodson for anyone looking for expert legal advice.

Reena Raval managed the whole process of selling my late mother’s property with diligence, sensitivity and efficiency.
Communication was excellent throughout and Reena was both professional and empathic, enabling my siblings and I to manage a difficult process with dignity.

Jenny Shepherd and Emma Bottomley from the Wellington branch went above and beyond the pale to accelerate our move into our new home. They managed to get us from accepted offer to completion in a little over three weeks. Their attention to detail, professional pragmatic due diligence and communication were all superb, very much the best conveyancing experience we have had, period. thanks so so much!

The receptionist that we met first was extremely welcoming and pleasant. We waited for a short time in a comfortable room and our solicitor, Emily Simpson, was very pleasant and professional.
We could not have asked for a better service. Excellent in all respects.

Thank you Reena for all your hard work and for dealing with both the purchase and transfer promptly and smoothly. You have made what could have been a daunting experience, stress free and I really appreciate that.

Porter Dodson have consistently provided a professional, supportive and efficient service whilst obtaining grant of probate and being joint executors to my late father's estate. Their expertise and all round service has been exemplary and I will definitely continue to employ their services, as our choice of family solicitors.

Everyone working on the transaction was professional efficient and friendly. I was impressed enough to engage them for a further transaction which is also going well.

Good communication throughout the process.

Thanks to Porter Dodson, my wife & I have recently completed both reviews of our respective Wills, and established Lasting Powers of Attorney. Throughout both processes on our behalf, Porter Dodson has efficiently applied its expertise, and with laudable clarity.

Highly recommend Porter Dodson Solicitors. Great communication and clarity throughout. Very informative and supporting throughout the whole process of buying my first house. Honest and clear with the whole process. Will use again in the future.

We took part in their review and then booked a place along with a number of Residentrs in Warminster,
The review of our old wills was comprehensive and thorough. We gave instructions and the service was quick, uncomplicated and accurate. We are now confidet in our legal needs.Sarah Stone is very competant and gave excellent Customer Service

Extremely good service on two house purchase transactions; expert and authoritative actions and advice by the partner Michelle Wilson, and excellent and efficient daily communications from her colleague Sonya Bailey

We put off arranging wills for some time, But now both in our 60s we decided that we should no longer wait. We learned that Porter Dodson were taking part in a will writing initiative raising funds for a local hospice.

We arranged an appointment with one of the partners, Paul Watkins. We asked him to prepare our wills and we also asked him to prepare Lasting Power of Attorneys'.

No-one really wants to think about making a will but we found Paul to be extremely helpful and understanding, and he took time to explain any points we were unsure about, making the process painless.

The documents have now been completed and in the anticipated time scale.
We were impressed by how straightforward the process was and the friendliness and professional approach used by the Team at Porter Dodson's Bridport Branch.

Reena Raval handled all the conveyancing aspects of the sale of the property very professionally, and dealt with all the issues along the way promptly and effectively. Would happily recommend using Porter Dodson for buying and selling property in West Dorset.

Michael Fitzgerald has just completed Probate and wrapping up of my father in law's estate.
Within a few minutes of meeting Michael, we knew we had made the right choice!
Throughout the process, he has been nothing less than brilliant in the way he has dealt with us.
All emails have been responded to promptly and he has at all times been friendly and approachable, with a good sense of humour when appropriate.
We will not hesitate to use Michael's services again when required and would thoroughly recommend him.
We are delighted to have followed him from Legal Advisor, through to qualified solicitor!

Miranda was professional and friendly - she offered an accurate quote and detailed responses to the support we required.
Miranda answered all of my questions and explained and applied her knowledge of tax and estates to our individual case which was extremely helpful and we would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!
