Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Reviews 

I found Reena very communicative and professional throughout the house sell

I have used Michelle and Sonya at the Dorchester branch for several sales and purchases and they have always been thorough and reliable in their dealings. They have provided helpful advice and kept the pressure on other solicitors to ensure that the conveyances have proceeded as quickly and efficiently as possible

Called for a simple eviction notice. All dealt with promptly until I received an email saying 'The notice will be posted on X date.' The notice was not posted. I waited a week and then followed this up. By calling to ask where the notice was cost me an extra 13%. Charging this extra because you could not do what you said you would do it not good enough.

I queried this bill and was told 1 month 9 days later. That this was 'in line with the works carried out.' I was told that if I wished to escalate I could do so. It would be foolish to take a law firm to the small claims court.

Go somewhere else and hope that they will do what they say they will do. Charging me for following up their lack of care and then standing by it may well not be illegal but it is certainly unethical.

Used Porter Dodson for our house sale. Zara and the team in Yeovil have been excellent! Kept us up to date with all aspects of the sale, responded and answered any queries promptly either by phone or email. Reception team also really friendly and helpful. No hesitation in recommending Porter Dodson for conveyancing.

Very thorough, good advice, communication excellent. I should come clean and say I have used them before and will again. Highly recommended.

The service I received from both Reena & Amy (Porter Dodson,Bridport) during my recent house buying process was professional & efficient & both were approachable & responsive

They promptly & fully addressed & answered any questions,queries or concerns I had along the way
Both made what can be a difficult & stressful process just not!

Would not hesitate to recommend

All you can ask for in a conveyancing solicitor, as many have said before. Selling a property is a complex procedure with the need to be accurate. Reena was prompt in all matters relating to our sale (executors based 220 miles away). Mystified to read the recent negative review. Not at all our experience (or many others it seems).

Conveyancing solicitors can have a reputation for being appalling. If you want to find out how appalling they are then use Porter Dodson. Absolutely hopeless, many errors, cost all buyers in the chain (2 of us) a lot of money with their failures, need telephoning every day to find out what is happening, even other solicitors are critical of their performance. Do not use if you want to maintain your mental health.

Excellent and efficient service. I would definitely recommend Porter Dodson.

ACE - Amazing Customer Service...Reena Raval has overseen conveyancing for us now on three occasions. Her diligence and speed of execution have been exceptional...I highly recommend Reena, Porter Dodson and their Teams...

Thank you so much to Helen and Eileen for helping us navigate through the choppy waters of house moving. Helen was thorough and efficient, with excellent communication throughout. I would definitely recommend.

I found Porter Dodson to be highly professional and efficient. They were on the ball, quick in dealing with issues and communicated regularly.
They were alert to any potential pitfalls and we achieved a very successful outcome.
I have no hesitation in recommending them and would certainly use them again.

Paul was very helpful and spent time discussing our circumstances even though our LPA was very simple.
The whole process was conducted sensitively and professionally.
He took time to listen to us and was not at all pushy about making the LPA any more complicated at this stage.
Great service.

We needed our conveyancing to be done in a bit of a hurry and Reena and Amy at Porter Dodson's Bridport office did everything in their power to make it happen. The most refreshing thing was the excellent communication. When they said that they would take a particular action and phone us back that day that was exactly what happened. We have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Selling a leasehold flat covered by the Building Securities Act was never going to be an easy task! Caron Abbott and her team in Sherborne managed the whole long and drawn out process with great skill and calm tenacity, overcoming all manner of difficulties and unhelpful third parties.
This sale was testing for everyone and I am very grateful to Caron for seeing it through to conclusion.
Porter Dodson are to be congratulated and I shall certainly be using them for all future legal requirements.

Both the partner Michelle Wilson and her paralegal Sonya Bailey conducted the sale of my property in a very professional, polite and friendly manner. I would highly recommend this firm.

Porter and Dodson in Bridport dealt with our house purchase . Reena, Amy and the Team were fantastic , keeping us updated everystep and we completed in the time scale advised. Not a easy case as it was a listed property but we felt confident and assured with the advice and support from the team. Thank you to Bridport office

The Yeovil office of Porter Dodson came recommended to me by a friend and I can only do the same.

From start to finish, the whole team, particularly my assigned Legal Executive (TH), were absolutely fabulous.

I couldn't have asked for a more friendly and efficient service and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

Reena Raval has just completed the conveyancing, on behalf of the executors, of a house in a probate sale. She is a great person to work with. Reena is an excellent communicator, highly organised and efficient. The same must be said for Amy Bishop. We knew at every point in the process that Reena and Amy were doing all that was possible, and we were given excellent advice when it was needed. Thank you to all at Porter Dodson for your support.

For reasons of an outstanding prior experience (working with Stephanie McCulloch), we did not shop around for a solicitor to carry out this conveyancing work. We found the price to be reasonable in the light of the work required, and the experience of working with Reena was excellent.

Clare was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process of dealing with a family trust. From our first engagement through to completion she was always available to answer any of our queries and provided guidance each step of the way during what was a very challenging time.
