Bio

    I joined Porter Dodson in May 1997 and became a Partner in February 2022. I have extensive experience in dealing with a full range of property matters.

    The firm is a preferred solicitor for the southern region of a national developer of retirement homes and I act for clients in the purchase of their apartments and associated sales.

    I have the necessary knowledge to enable me to deal with the client’s needs. Living in Yeovil, I have local knowledge of the town and surrounding area and being based in the Yeovil office makes me easily accessible to clients.

    I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.

    Testimonials

    Very impressed with the speed and thoroughness of Porter Dodson in progressing the purchase of our flat and sale of our house. Much faster than is generally thought to be the case.

    Very efficient and helpful

    Mr Gallagher
    We appreciated the home visits and the way in which details were clearly explained. This relieved a lot of the anxiety that moving house creates! We felt confident that all aspects had been covered, as any queries we did have were efficiently dealt with over the phone.

    Very efficient and answered all queries promptly.

    I had a very satisfactory service from Porter Dodson, friendly and respectful and responsive. In addition to meeting Robert as necessary the ability to telephone his direct number and get an answer/update from the solicitor actually dealing with the purchase of my new property was reassuring, informative and developed trust in the attentive service.

    Robert Coppard and his team can sort out any problem! This morning is the first time I have woken up since this all started without feeling sick at the worry - such a relief.

    We received excellent service from Porter Dodson Solicitors and in particular from Robert Coppard. He exceeded our expectations by being very professional and understanding. No task was too difficult for him to handle. We experienced a tough time during the sale of our house which fell through. Robert helped us to get back on our feet again and made sure that the house sale went through. We would highly recommend Robert and Porter Dodson for anyone buying or selling properties.

    Just a quick note to say a massive thank you, to you and your team, for the most efficient way you all dealt with mums move. It was a pleasure dealing with you, and when our own house sale goes through, I’ll ask you to handle that as well.

    In 6 weeks we had the keys to our apartment. One of the most stressful life events made unbelievably quick with the help of Porter Dodson, a most efficient firm of solicitors. Many thanks to Robert Coppard and his team.

    The matter was resolved amazingly quickly, to my relief. Robert came up to see me as I was unable to drive and was able to put my mind at rest on several issues. I was in need of support and always received it. I wholeheartedly commend the people who handled my case.

    Rob

    Exchange and completion was reached in two weeks from initial instruction saving every one a lot of time and worry. The service provided by Robert, Tracy and Clare was personal, clear and empathetic.

    Mr M Beard

    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.
