Top Notch

I had a great experience with Attorney Thomas Porter working on my case. He handled my case very well. You will not regret hiring him for your legal needs. He is very knowledgeable and considerate. I had a lot of questions and he was always available. Even on weekends and after hours. Also, his ...fees were very reasonable.

Great Lawyer!!!

I hired Attorney Porter to help me with a criminal case. He was very knowledgeable of the law. He was always professional and kept me informed about my case. I would definitely reccomend him to others. He was able win my case at trial.

Waste of time. Waste of money.

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!
