Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Omdömen 

We were directed to Porter Dodson in Bridport as an efficient and effective solicitor to deal with our flat purchase in Lyme Regis. They did not let us down. Amy Bishop and Steve Dunkerton were nothing short of amazing! It took 16 weeks from offer to completion. Both were communicative and always available for my sometimes pointless questions. I cannot rate these guys high enough. I will be recommending Porter Dodson at Bridport solely on the expertise of Amy and Steve. Thank you both so much. Paul & Suzie.

From the 22nd October 2025, when I came to ask Porter Dodson for assistance with the sale of my home. I have been given nothing but quick and efficient work from Reena. Her emails have always been understandable. All questions have been answered with her confidence which enabled me to relax (if possible when selling). Excellent email assistance too from Beckie - as will phone calls with both. I would definitely ask again for my assistance with work in the future and many thanks for your help in the last five months.

Really helpful and timely advice. Fast and efficient communications made convryance go really smoothly even though we lived over 250 miles away. Excellent service, would use again.

This is the second time we've used Porter Dodson, and again the service, on this occasion from Karen Watts, was first rate.

Sally at Sherborne could not have been more helpful with the admin of my late wife's estate. Always there, always friendly and helpful and so patient with many of my basic questions Our grateful thanks from myself and two lovely daughters. A new will now signed and once again helpful advice gratefully received. Initially there had been problems obtaining my wife's will from another firm of solicitors in Sherborne, a problem that Sally sorted out immediately.

We have used Porter Dodson for 45 years which speaks for itself. Recently we used their office in Sherborne, headed by Reena Ravel and her team and the service was faultless, prompt, efficient and courteous. Highly recommended as was the sale of a similar house last year.

Reena Raval acted on our behalf on a house sale - the whole process was very efficient with fast communication and quick responses to any questions.

The whole process has been handled very professionally. I thoroughly recommend Reena.

Porter Dodson have been incredibly helpful, informative and kind during the process of me purchasing my first home. My constant questions and pestering were no trouble at all, and they were instrumental in the ordeal, and I couldn't have done it without them! I highly recommend!

Michelle, Steve and Laura worked really hard to complete a number of very protracted and complicated residential sales for us.

At almost every point additional issues arose, wich Michelle and her team dealt with confidently and efficiently. I am almost certain that without the help of Porter Dodson these sales would have taken considerably longer to complete. Michelle was always at the end of the phone and had a pragmatic solution to every issue we encountered.

We would not hesitate to recommend Michelle and her team.

recently had a very positive experience working with Abigail at Porter Dodson on a legal matter. Abigail was approachable, clear, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She provided concise advice and demonstrated strong expertise in her field.
Her responsiveness was exceptional — she answered queries promptly and was consistently available whenever I required support. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless.
I would not hesitate to recommend Abigail to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Have just received excellent legal conveyancing service from Porter Dodson in Sherborne
Reena Raval and Beckie Old were so easy to work with, all email enquiries were answered promptly, and the sale of our property proceeded very smoothly. It is the third time I have used this firm and can highly recommend them

Reena and Jennifer worked hard to keep us updated and explain in every detail the procedure of selling and buying. Reena replied by return any enquiries we came up against and was always polite and understanding She came over as a person who was on your side at all times.. It was useful to liaise via the Taunton office but it would have been nice to put a face to the voices

Our house purchase was handled smoothly and it was straight forward to work with Reena and Beckie. The conveyancing process can seem complicated with lots of legal jargon, but everything was explained to us in a easy to understand way.

All of our queries were anwsered promptly, we almost always had a response to our emails the same day, if not within half an hour or so which was really helpful and reassuring during the final stages of the process.

We'd heard from many friends who had purchased a house with online only solicitors that it was often difficult, if not impossible, to contact anyone; so having someone local who was easily contactable was really important to us.

We'll certainly be using Porter Dodson again in the future.

Elle and Ros were fantastic, their communication was clear and timely. They were quick to respond and so helpful. Everything went smoothly and I couldn't recommend them enough!

The service provided by Porter Dodson through a difficult and emotionally challenging property sale and purchase was superb. Staff were accessible when advice was needed, responses sometimes were available out of normal working hours. We were impressed particularly by Reena Raval the solicitor and her assistant Beckie Old. Advice received was clear and concise.

Excellent…. First class from start to finish. This was an employment dispute. Initial interaction was with Dawn Cleveland. Great first impressions of the company, understood my position and initially under a tight schedule my end but was not a problem. Case was passed to Kate Shawcross. Kate was brilliant. Great communication, which is so important. Great advice, great outcome for myself. Attention to detail and explaining everything in ‘simple terms!’ was really helpful. Thank you Kate and Dawn!

We had Reena as our solicitor during our house move process.
It was a very long and complicated move, with lots of different queries and difficult solicitors on the other side.
Reena was fantastic at keeping us informed and updated, and doing everything she could to move things along.
I would absolutely recommend Porter Dodson if you are going through a similar process.
Thank you to Reena and the team for all of your help, we really appreciate you all.

Nicola Hughes of the Conveyance Team has been amazing from beginning to end. Nicola’s attention to detail and clear frequent communication was certainly appreciated. Her professionalism was second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Nicola and Porter Dodson again and would recommend to anyone who wants an extremely personable and professional service. Well done!

Great service by Reena and her team at Porter Dodson.
They have carefully guided my elderly parents through their (stressful at times) sale of their property. Very efficient and helpful at all times.

Helen Legg provided an excellent service for the sale of my property. Would thoroughly recommend this firm for any legal issues.
