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

    Robert Coppard and Jolie Stokes were both excellent and were prepared to go that extra mile. Certainly good value for money.

    Robert Coppard has been incredible. He kept me informed every step of the way and I had full confidence in him. He has gone above and beyond everything I could've wished for.

    Mrs Poulton

    Friendly, approachable whilst still retaining the appropriate advisor/client relationship.  Efficient, trouble-free transaction.  Terms of business for the transaction clear.  Other firms we have had to deal with have been far less effective and left us at times confused.  So unless absolutely necessary, why go elsewhere?

    Mr & Mrs C Turner

    Mr Coppard was aware that I was purchasing property because my wife had died, so his input was more than a business transaction: the personal, compassionate touch also played a part. Indeed I would say that was the outstanding feature in a world which is sadly becoming increasingly technological and impersonal.

    Mr M Carter

    I have been very impressed and pleased with the service provided to me by Mr Coppard.  All the communications have been easy to understand and must have taken a considerable amount of time and expertise to prepare.

    Excellent and reasonable service. All communications were easy to understand and Robert was always available to answer questions. Really pleased with the service provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others.

    You have been fantastic, helping us at every step of the way, everything was well explained and definitely money well spent.

    J S Edge & F A Slater

    Extremely efficient. Corresponding by email worked well. In our limited experience, we consider the cost to be totally acceptable. In conclusion, we would like to thank Robert and his team for expediting our sale and purchase. Needless to say, should we require any legal assistance in the future, we would not hesitate to contact you.

    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.

    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.

    I felt the service was excellent. Everyone was polite and courteous. Issues were well explained in an understandable manner and people were available to talk.
    Residential Property Client
    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.
    D & T Smith

    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.

    P Holbrook

    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.
