Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Reviews 

Michelle Wilson handled my complicated flat sale with the addition of a lease extension. There was many stages to the sale spanning over 7 months and she explained the process and what needed to happen. I was very anxious as the sale did take some time but Michelle was calm and provided clear and reassuring advice and guidance. I would recommend her for any sale, she is professional and gives you realistic advice all which I found really helpful. Thank you again Michelle for all your help.

Reena R at Porter Dobson has been amazing. She has replied speedily when I've asked a question. Her support and guidance has been amazing. I cannot rate Porter Dobson, especially Reeva highly enough. I highly recommend this company. Thank you.

The whole team at porter Dobson were very supportive with selling and buying my properties.
Reena Raval had the tricky task of picking up the purchase of my house at the ninth hour and was so helpful and kind during this period ,this made it all so much easier for me and I can’t thank her enough .

My most recent experience relates to the Bridport office and the need to make a will.
The service all round was very good including reception, documentation and the professional advice itself.
The atmosphere is more welcoming than in the Poundbury office which has a much more commercial. impersonal almost industrial atmosphere which, though quite professional, is colder,

We were highly impressed by the efficiency and professionalism shown by Reena Raval and her assistant Beckie in our recent sale transaction. It made for a very smooth and stress free transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for a property transaction.

Very personal and efficient service for the sale of property from 11/07/2025 to
03/10/2025.

And once again I have been another victim of porter dobson I wished I had read reviews before employing them but as I was griving and not not myself at the time I failed to read reviews

They seem very good in property cases but in Wills and Probate cases it's a big No

I have been overcharged for unnecessary work conducted and to no conclusion on my contested will case to the fact I had to resort to employing another solicitor's firm who got the probate lifted in half the time and a fraction of the cost I would like to stress anyone who has been in a similar situation to take them to the Legal Ombudsman which is what stage im at at the moment

We used Porter Dodson solicitors for a property inheritance and transfer of deeds, mainly dealing with Reena Raval she was absolutely brilliant,friendly, professional, and always kept us informed and answering any queries, often out of "office hours"— she made the whole process so much easier and stress free

Katie and Shannon from the Taunton Branch were both great! Super helpful and thorough. kept us updated and informed at all times and made the process enjoyable and smooth! Would definitely use them again for any sales or purchases in the future!

I was supported and advised by Reena Ravel throughout the recent sale of my property in Bridport. Reena was very helpful and efficient, always keeping me informed about the process and answering my questions clearly and promptly.

Extremely helpful and professional. The staff on reception were always very pleasant and welcoming.

We cannot recommend Abigail Davis at Porter Dodson in Taunton high enough. This isn’t the first time I have used Abigail - she first helped me with buying a house, and she was fantastic. So much so that I knew exactly who to ask when I went on to sale that house and purchase our dream home. She’s is very knowledgeable and professional, but also just a super lovely, and understanding person and really works with you to help make the process as easy and stress free as possible. We are very thankful to her and her team for their help and would absolutely use them over and over again. Thank you.

Bethany was fantastic , first time selling a property so was unsure of all the processes, she was fast to reply to my questions and emails I would definitely recommend and use again

I had a complex sale involving cladding remediation, the Building Safety Act 2022, and much more. I tried local solicitors who turned down the work as being too complicated, beyond their PI insurance, etc. Then I found a blog post, by H.H. of Porter Dodson down in sunny Somerset, which claimed she could do it . . . and, ably assisted by S.R., she did!

I have the utmost respect for H.H.'s and S.R.'s knowledge, professionalism and determination to get things done, and I'm pleased to publicly thank H.H. for sorting out all the complexities, dealing with a somewhat sleepy solicitor at the other end, keeping at it and making the sale so much easier for me than I thought it ever could be . . . and after many months of work, not charging any more than her initial quote!

Thank you, H.H. and S.R. :-)

We dealt with Reena Raval at Porter Dodson in Sherborne when selling our house and found her and all other members of staff, without exception, to be friendly and most helpful. We were very impressed with the way that they kept us informed of every move as the sale progressed. They are now dealing with the purchase of our new property and I have every confidence that we will receive the same professional services.
I have no hesitation in recommending these people to act on your behalf.

Reena was quick, helpful, efficient and informative.

Louise Wootten was just FANTASTIC with the selling of an inherited property and then, in turn, the purchase of our first ever home. We were incredibly nervous as first time buyers and at times with wording that we were unfamiliar with it felt very overwhelming, Louise was brilliant, she explained everything in terms that we could easily digest, she was always and easily contactable both by phone and email. We really can't thank her enough.

Absolutely shocking experience from the solicitors I was dealing with. Wacked on a massive sum for a re-mortgage when I only ever instructed them on a transfer of equity. Cost me thousands extra in fees and handled it all so poorly.

I can not praise the team highly enough. Kirby, Joe and Jodi were excellent. All there to answer an email and explain everything detail. Made a very hard and difficult time go with ease. Thank you all so much. I highly recommend. Thank you
