Recommendation in the Affirmative

I'm very appreciative that Ms. Porter was direct, knowledgeable and incredibly kind when discussing my personal liability claim. She had to deliver quite unfavorable news and did so with poise and empathy. I, truly, wish I had the chance to speak to Ms. Porter prior to pursuing my workman's comp case... as I would have approached the comp case differently. Consultation is so critical and I would call upon Ms. Porter again should I ever be in the position once more.

Auto Accident

I hired Ms. Porter after being rear ended in 2019. She was very responsive and walked me through the process the entire time. She was extremely helpful in answering any questions I had, and advocated for me as her client. I will be recommending her services to family and friends.

Car accident

Mrs. Porter is awesome she took over my case when I had got into a car accident and it wasn't my fault. She did a amazing job she handled my case professionally, in a timely matter, she was able to talk to the hospitals and get some of my medical bills reduce down a little and she negotiated a reason...able amount. I got more then what I thought I was going to get back. She kept me updated on everything and you can call her and she will answer any questions or concerns you may have. She is incredible and I will use her again if something like this occurs again.

Litigation lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Jennifer as a colleague for about 8 years. I have mostly encountered her as an opposing attorney in personal injury litigation matters and in doing so, it was always apparent that Jennifer knew her stuff. I have often seen her in Court for cases against other colleagues and she was always professional, knowledgeable and thorough in her preparations for Motions and trials. It is my belief that Jennifer would be an asset in any law firm, as she brings these skills with her no matter what type of legal matter she is handling. I have a high regard for this attorney and I know a great many other attorneys that are of this same opinion."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Jennifer 6 years ago when she was doing insurance defense work and we were opposing counsel on a personal injury case. In the intervening years, we have been opposing counsel in many cases, several of which went to verdict. She is one of the most professional, diligent, and zealous advocates with which I have had the pleasure of litigating cases. Her transition to plaintiff's personal injury work not only reinforced those traits but provided her with an unparalleled base of knowledge in the personal injury field upon which she relies to provide indefatigable representation to injured victims. I endorse Jennifer without reservation."

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 25

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Jennifer when she was working as an insurance defense attorney in personal injury law and I was a newly minted attorney fresh out of law school. In the 6 years that I have known Jennifer, she has been a mentor, a tremendous trial strategy resource, and a trusted colleague. Jennifer's wit and penetrating legal mind are matched only by her understanding of how to frame an argument for any audience. She is one of the most adaptable attorneys I have seen in trial, and her skill in evidence and personal injury law are as obvious as they are effective. Jennifer understands that half her work takes place across the table from her clients in understanding their goals and needs and crafting a strategy that meets those needs with an eye toward a realistic outcome. Jennifer is a credit to the legal community and a fine advocate for her clients. I refer clients to her whenever I get the opportunity, and wholeheartedly endorse her."

"Jennifer is a shrewd, extremely capable litigator. Having had the opportunity to observe her in trial on several occasions, I can attest to her innate ability to successfully advocate for her clients. Her experience serving as counsel for both plaintiffs and defendants gives her unique insight as to the best and most efficient route to reaching her clients' goals. I endorse Jennifer without reservation."

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Jennifer for over 15 years. We first met at a trial advocacy college many years ago. Since that time, we have regularly consulted with each other on our cases often brainstorming solutions to legal questions which arise during our representation of our clients. Jennifer works tirelessly for her clients and zealously advocates on their behalf in court. She has an uncanny ability to swiftly identify efficient and effective resolutions to complex legal issues and problems. As an experienced litigator who has served as counsel for both plaintiffs and as defense counsel on behalf of insurance companies, her experience provides her the ability to see all sides of an issue. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a thorough assessment of their case and a practical approach to obtaining a successful resolution of their circumstances."
