Upon just concluding a tricky conveyancing project I can recommend Porter Dodson wholeheartedly. The conveyancer assigned to me was excellent throughout. Great advice, communications, accessibility and thorough. And when compared to the fee charged by estate agents, very good value for money. Thank you for a job so well done.

Excellent process!

During a very fast paced moving experience we were delighted with the sale and purchase process provided by Porter Dodson. Our buyer had threatened to pull out by a deadline and Robert in collaboration with McCarthy Stone pulled out all the stops to complete on time. Many thanks too for our face to face meeting when the process was clearly explained to us. This was much appreciated and we would heartily recommend Porter Dodson.

Professional, Efficient, Pragmatic and Polite

Throughout the purchase of our new house and sale of our own, Caron Abbott was supremely efficient, cool, calm and pragmatic when up against a deadline.
All the documentation was very clear and any mistakes that I made, she was utterly polite in correcting me!
Her attitude to the whole conveyancing process was professional and efficient, (unlike others I have encountered). Not only does this reflect on her and er team, it must stem from the culture of Porter Dodson.
A huge thank you and well done.

Professional, caring and efficient

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.

Sherborne office

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.

Jodi Street Family Law

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.

Porter Dodson - professional and friendly

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.
