Despite my frustrations dealing with Attorney Porter and skepticism about whether he knew what he was doing with my case--he came through for me tonight at court with an excellent deal that basically gives me a new future. I've been so stressed out because of this case for a year, and now I feel like I can finally breathe again like a weight has been lifted off. His negotiation skills are great and he has good rapport with the local courts and DA's office. Overall, very pleasant, approachable, and easy-going nature. He's a good man with a good heart. My only advice to him would be to work on communication, as sometimes he comes off as very dismissive and uncaring.

Firstly thank you SO MUCH for taking a chance on my case that was considered difficult by most! Mr. Porter handled my case with the utmost delicacy it required, and we came out with an amazing result! My family will be forever changed and grateful for helping us to get the decision we deserved! Also for believing in me and helping me to fight for what was right! Thank you again so much and I couldn’t recommend his office enough if you are looking for help in your family law case!
