Thomas C. Porter

I hired Porter for an assault with a deadly weapon charge. He made me pay $1000 to him then took me to go turn myself in at the Meck Co. Jail. After I received my first court date, he notified me by phone that he would go to initial hearing (I didn't need to go). But that's when it all started going... down hill. I called him repeatedly before my second court date in order to touch base and learn what the process is (I am a first time offender-clean record). He never returned my calls so I finally texted him, politely. He called me back and yelled at me for calling because he was on vacation... Um, I am supposed to know that? Have an automated vacation message!!... He finally contacted me to let me know that my case was going to go to mediation, but come to find out, Meck Co. has been doing this mediation process for ALL person vs. person cases since the beginning of the year. He failed to mention mediation to me the entire time! Finally, after my case was dismissed (no thanks to him, whatsoever), I find out from the clerk of court, NOT PORTER, that I can get the case completely expunged from my record for free. He served absolutely NO purpose to my entire case, he failed to mention the most important part of the settlement, and he was completely rude. DO NOT HIRE!
