Highly Recommend, Great guy to have on your side, Prepared, Incredibly knowledgeable, Outstanding.

Working with Mr. Porter was a great experience! He kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone needing legal counsel. I found Scott to be very thorough and honest with his evaluation and recommendations on my case. He worked diligently to bring me a fai...r and equitable conclusion. Scott is a very diligent, well-prepared and an exceptional attorney. If you are seeking an attorney who is capable, compassionate, knowledgeable, honest, and caring, look no more. Scott was very professional and always responded to my texts, emails, or phone calls in an instant. He is hands-down the best attorney to handle your criminal/traffic cases. The best decision I made after my altercation with the law. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great lawyer!

Kept me in the loop, broke everything down for me so I understood it, gave me all the possible scenarios and let me know what he could do for me. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
