GOD SENT

The Porter Law Firm LLC saved my life. Benjamin Porter personally took care of me. He talked to me during a major Holiday Labor Day. I was broken and unsure of what should be next. He texted me and stayed engaged with me, as I had a lot of questions. He directed me and was kind in the process and yo...u really don't get that, believe me I called around. They were arrogant and self-centered because I needed help, and they wanted money with no direction. The Porter Law Firm and Benjamin Porter changed my life. In a matter of 6 weeks it was OVER. People couldn't believe the time frame it took for the Divorce to be settled; it was unbelievable. I appreciate you for helping me being kind, caring, intentional, understanding and genuine. Thank God for you and your dedication to people in need. I was there I needed help, I'm sorry it took me too long to figure out this opportunity to tell people what I experienced. Continue to bless the community with your gift, give God the honor and praise. Let your honesty, integrity speak for itself. THE PORTER LAW FIRM PERIOD....YOUR WAY OUT!!!

Excellent Service

Benjamin Porter is so professional, affordable and fast. I have been trying to get a divorce for 5 years and Benjamin got it done less than 30 days after my papers were signed. Excellent service.

uncontested divorce

Ben helped our uncontested divorce, which was finalized in very short time. He charged a very reasonable flat rate.

Would recommend

I am thankful I found Mr. Porter's law firm. As with all lawyers, he is very busy, but I was not in a rush. Mr. Porter helped me file an uncontested separation maintenance agreement as I was hoping my spouse would "see the light," so a divorce could be avoided. Unfortunately, eventually it was eviden...t my spouse wanted to move on. Mr. Porter helped me refile the paperwork to finalize the proceedings. I would recommend this law firm to others. I found Mr. Porter pleasant, informative, and even after a long break between my filings, he picked up right where I left off. He is someone I would recommend especially if you are trying to sift through a sea of lawyers not knowing what to do. I consider myself fortunate to have picked him from the vast number of choices as he was perfect for my circumstances.
