Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Reviews 

Michelle Wilson and Sonya Bailey at Porter Dodson are our go to professionals for conveyancing. We have used them several times for our own residences as well as buy to lets and they have never let us down. Our most recent sale took just two months from start to finish and we were pleased that any issues and queries were swiftly dealt with, making the process as smooth as possible.

Excellent house sale transaction on this occasion, handled with professionalism and courtesy. Great comms and highly responsive. Highly recommended on basis of this transaction and previous work done by PD.

We can highly recommend Hayley Holland and her team who managed the sale of our leasehold flat recently.
The deadline was met, questions answered promptly, were helpful and approachable while maintaining a professional manner. We feel very confident to recommend Hayley.

I can recommend Laura with confidence; she proved herself to be painstaking and thorough, recognising all the relevant issues and explaining them clearly and succinctly. She shows great ease in dealing with clients.

I would definitely use Porter Dodson again. There were several hurdles to negotiate regarding the lease on my new flat. Although a lengthy process, it was dealt with in an honest and professional manner. A special thanks to both Michelle and Reena in Dorchester and Bridport.

The team at Porter Dodson Sherborne have provided me with excellent help with both Probate work, and also Conveyancing on my new property. Many thanks to Laura and Caron for their professionalism and hard work.

I find Porter Dodson extremely professional and helpful. I am very pleased with the service received and can highly recommend.

Using a paralegal made the process of gifting land so much more affordable. Communication was excellent and staff were very patient waiting for the documentation from all parties involved.

The staff are really kind and helpful from start to finish. Both Stephanie and Reena kept me informed all the way, truly excellent

I found Porter & Dodson extremely helpful from start to completion of my house purchase. Very friendly staff, Tanya Hopkins especially explained everything clearly & was really helpful. Would certainly recommend! Thankyou all!

Jodi Street was the solicitor for my family law case, and I will forever be grateful for the work she put in for myself and my family.

Jodi is easy to contact, honest, diligent and I felt able to talk to her openly from the beginning. She worked the case well, ensured I had the best representation in court that I could’ve possibly had, whilst also encouraging me to add my true self into statements.

She truly cares about who she is representing, and it was clear that the family team within Porter Dodson work cohesively and effectively for their clients. Circumstances meant that I had to relocate temporarily, but at no point did that have impact on the quality of work or level of communication.

It’s been a year since the hearing finished and 6 months since I no longer required a solicitor - and memories are (thankfully!!) starting to feel less vivid. But I will forever remember the support I was given and the passion that Jodi clearly has for getting her clients voices heard in the otherwise terrifying experience of going to court.

I would not hesitate in recommending Jodi, and Porter Dodson as a whole, to anyone who found themselves needing representation in the family courts.

I was very impressed with Reena and Michelle at Porter Dodson and everyone else we dealt with.

They were very personable and dealt with queries quickly and efficiently.

I would recommend them.

Porter Dodson, solicitors - dealing with a deceased relative’s estate. I communicated with one dedicated solicitor who kept me fully up to date every step of the way. She was professional, helpful and friendly - making the whole process very easy to follow and understand. Very happy experience.

Fantastic overall experience from Hayley Holland and all her team from the Taunton office.

This being our very first purchase, Hayley made us feel extremely comfortable asking questions. She was always quick to respond never left us wondering what was going on. We had a completion date in mind and they completely smashed it!

From start to finish our purchase was 7 weeks, couldn’t have done that without the help of Hayley, Oliver, Abi and Caitlin.

If you want quick, helpful and friendly service, I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Thank you so much Hayley for all your hard work. Absolutely amazing.

We asked Caron Abbot of Porter Dodson's Sherborne office to act for us in selling a property. Caron was a pleasure to deal with - polite, to the point, patient especially given the buyer's side of the sale were decidedly fussy, and extremely punctual in handling the communications between the parties. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Caron for help again should we have further legal needs. My wife and I would give Caron a 5star rating however a rather less than satisfactory experience with another branch of Porter Dodson in Wells relating to a different area of business a couple of years ago prevents us giving Porter Dodson as a firm full marks.

We had lousie Wooten for our first house purchase we couldn’t fault her at all she went absolutely above and beyond and did everything she could to make this happen for our first home. We had all paper work filled in and done our side within 2 weeks and If we had any questions we could phone or email and 9 times out of 10 she would answer instant. She had her work cut out for our sale as wasn’t exactly straight forward but she made it happen and went that extra step, we are so glad we went for this company yes a little more expensive but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend and use again if needed.

We instructed PorterDodson to take on the probate of our deceased parents. They were extremely professional and sensitive to the situation. They are an excellent firm. We have now instructed them to help with the conveyancing of the property left by by our parents because we were so impressed with them. They always responded quickly and efficiently to any queries/questions we had. Excellent!

Reena & Michell kept me informed of progress, through both sale & purchase, with clear instructions as to procedures. Very pleased with the whole experience during a stressful time.

Throughout the four years it has taken to settle my mothers estate Chris Green has been head and shoulders above a number of solicitors from other practices engaged by other interested parties.

Chris has been the consummate professional, always quick to respond with positive advice and words of wisdom. Such support and expertise is not cheap but is worth every penny.

Thank you Chris and Porter Dodson (Somerset) for all you have done for us.

Professional, helpful and calm, I have found my recent home-purchase experience made much less stressful than anticipated because of Porter Dodson. I found that whatever the problem or issue encountered, they helped me negotiate through it reliably and in a timely fashion.
