Jennifer and Allison Alvey

Jennifer and Allison are really good at their jobs. Both were always there to answer any questions and always kept me in the loop as to what was going on with my accident case. They answered my questions in a timely manner and were always available. A fair settlement was reached.

So Glad She Showed Up

I was w/another attorney at a firm Jennifer Porter came to join after my case had began, fortunately for me she was assigned my case as the original attorney I was with left. From the start she righted everything wrong the previous attorney made, she was attentive and very thorough in being brought u...p to date with my experience and what I had been facing that first year into my case without her, so it was a no brainer for me when she informed me that she would be leaving and starting her own practice. Since the transition she has remained reachable and very transparent with me as my case is just now starting to come to a close. As some people know most of these cases take several years with medical treatment and documentation so I have been with her now since 2020 and even through this pandemic she has remained reliable and very much an advocate for me. She has also given me some great advice going forward as it pertains to my insurance coverages etc. I would definitely refer her to my friends and family as well as request her services again if I were ever in another accident of any kind. She is also very caring and for me that’s so important. Never do I feel like a number or just another client. She even fought to get my medical bills lowered. She’s a real gem, and that’s a big deal as we all know attorneys can be very dismissive and unbothered with their clients in these cases.

Don't call anyone else!

I contacted Jennifer concerning an accident that my daughter was in. As you can imagine, it was an incredibly stressful time and I really, really appreciate it that Jennifer got back to me the same day I contacted her. She is personable, honest, and straightforward. She explained the intricacies of t...he law as it pertained to my case without "talking down" to me. I truly appreciate her assistance and I would recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer!

Trustworthiness and Confident

Attorney Porter is handling a personal injury case on my behalf. She is very attentive and has handled my case just as it were a multi-million dollar lawsuit. I decided to remain a client with Jennifer even as she was just leaving a large firm to start her own law office. The professional relationsh...ip we had established was founded on her truthfulness, attentiveness, patience , clear and effective communication. Jennifer made me feel she could be trusted to handle my case with my best interest at heart. I appreciate having an attorney who keeps me informed on what is happening with my case.

So happy she saved my case!

Jennifer is amazing--I had been with a firm that had my case languishing for two years until Jennifer came on board. Once she was on my case, everything was in order and resolved within a couple of months. She is respectful, communicative, straightforward, and has fought hard to represent me well. I ...was so impressed that I, without hesitation, opted to follow her to her new practice. Thank you, Jennifer!!

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."

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."
