Excellent Work

Speaking as a lawyer myself, I am grateful for Lyle's expertise and advocacy. It was a difficult case and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. From the first consultation, I never doubted he was the right person to represent me.

CONFIDENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE, RELIABLE & EXPERIENCED

I could never put trust in any other attorney to represent my Family Law case. He was able to empathize during an emotional and taxing time for me while remaining professional and honest. His quick responses, ability to negotiate and passion to resolve our legal matters based on what is best for our ...family was amazing. I will forever be grateful to Mr Porter and call him my friend!

Quality Lawyer and Excellent Expertise

Mr. Porter handled my divorce with the dignity and poise I had only hoped to receive. He was determined to protect my interests from our initial consultation. His ongoing professionalism made a difficult situation much more manageable.

Excellent

In a situation where I had no idea who to turn to or what to do, Lyle completely saved me. He came highly recommended from another lawyer and I am so grateful he had the time to take my case. He is very straight forward and works very hard for you. He saved my life.

Criminal Defense - Far exceeded my expectations professionally and personally

Mr. Porter came highly recommended to me from another attorney well-known in Atlanta. I was told I needed the best out in Gwinnett to help me defend myself if I had any hope of clearing my name and not facing jail time. I found that expertise in Mr. Porter and knew I wanted him to represent me the mi...nute our initial consultation ended. During that initial consultation, all he asked of me was to be honest with him. I refused to plead guilty, as this was a second charge for something I was currently on probation for in a different county. All odds were against me due to the fact I "implied guilt". Mr. Porter did not beat around the bush. He did not make me feel like he could work magic and make this disappear. His honesty regarding the severity of the punishment I faced was almost scary, yet appreciated. He reminded me his job was not to lie to me and he was in my corner, and if I hired him, he would hear me out and hunt down any lead he could that would back up my innocent plea. This is an understatement, but, he delivered. Not only was his work ethic and professionalism outstanding, it was his ability to level with me as human being that was that ended up meaning the most. This is something I did not know lawyers had in them. I could call him with a million "what if" questions that consumed my mind while awaiting my court date and he would talk to me about it all. I am sure my calls were beyond trivial but if they were he never made me feel like a burden. He knows what he is doing and is extremely willing to find proof needed to clear your name. He delivered results I did not even imagine possible. He took the stress off of me, did his homework and because of that dedication, he cleared my name as it should have been. I would recommend Mr. Porter to anyone. I will be forever thankful for his hard work and for seeing me as a person and not just a case number.
