Annaleigh Elizabeth Porter's Lawyer Endorsements
"Great lawyer in the Syracuse area. Highly recommend for DWI and Criminal matters."
"I have witnessed Ms. Porter in court and she is among the most skilled trial advocates in the region, possibly the state. I unequivocally endorse this attorney."
"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."
