Honest review, you can google my case!

There is negative review on this site saying Andrea is money driven... that was the opposite of my experience. This is a real and honest review... you can google my case (Sfreddo vs Hicks) Andrea took my case all the way to the court of appeals, and won. Let me also add that I paid a retainer but was... pretty far in arrears. The defendant in my case was very difficult and he// bent on not following his contractual agreement. About 7 months before Andrea got a reasonable settlement offer, I told her I wanted to withdraw my complaint. I still owed her money and frankly, I was ready to quit. Andrea reassured me that I should not worry about the debt owed and instead allow her to finish out the case. She (basically) said I had come too far to back out. Another attorney could have easily said ok let’s work out a payment plan and call it a day. Not her. She got a settlement, a decent one that also covered her attorney fees (which she reduced) and just months prior to that I was ready to walk away. Someone said she didn’t have a binder... idk their situation but she does everything digitally. She had 1,227 pages of evidence for my trial, all highly organized in a digital format. In my experience Mrs. Porter is fierce, kind and an excellent attorney willing to go much further that the extra mile for her clients. Google my case for reference, she overturned an unfair decision by a judge... that’s not easy to do. This is an A++ attorney, you won’t be disappointed.

She dumped me before my husband threatened to leave the state with my child

Andrea is extremely money driven with no integrity. My husband was threatening to leave the state with my child and she dumped me the morning of the conflict with a letter claiming that I had consulted another attorney when my attorney friend asked me why Andrea was not doing X, Y and Z. Totally in...effective and when we went to court for a stalking issue, the morning of the trial she did not have one binder ready and was rushing to get it done and it showed in the courtroom. She was eaten up and spit out by my ex's attorney. She is a junior attorney that should not be the primary on any case.

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.
