Bio

I joined Porter Dodson in May 2025, bringing with me valuable experience from a previous role at another respected local law firm, where I also specialised in Private Client work.

My role is to support clients with a range of personal legal matters including the preparation of Wills, Probate and Estate Administration and Lasting Powers of attorney. I work with clients in a kind and considerate manner, treating each individual with the respect that they deserve.

Outside of work, you can often find me on the netball court or walking my spaniel, Pip, around the local countryside. 

Testimonials

We worked with Jacob and Ellie at Porter Dodson in Sherborne to support us with executing a will and to guide us through probate - with the added complication that all 3 executors of the estate lived in different countries. Throughout they were responsive, answered questions quickly, gave us regular updates and helped us find the best solutions to some quite complicated logistical problems. They were friendly and professional throughout which is exactly the support you need when you're dealing with a loss. We can never thank them enough. We would recommend Porter Dodson without hesitation.
