    I highly recommend Annaleigh Porter. I first came in contact with Ms. Porter when I worked at the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office. She had a reputation among prosectors as a tough adversary - one who was always willing to fight for her clients. I have come to know Ms. Porter as an intelligent, hard working tenacious lawyer that is well versed in the law.

    Annie is professional, smart and hard-working. Her success is driven by her intellectual curiosity, professional pride and concern for her clients. She is one of very few lawyers to whom I would trust referring a client whose case I could not handle due to a conflict or because I was otherwise engaged - I know her efforts would reflect positively on my judgment in recommending her. She is everything you want and expect in a criminal defense lawyer, and I strongly endorse her.
