Going through a divorce myself gives me great insight into my client's emotions during this most difficult time. I am a divorce litgator by trade. However, I also teach divorce recovery at my church and encourage couples to reconcile if it can be done. I am a registered mediator and Guardian ad Litem (child's attorney) as well. I fought for custody of my now 14 year old daugther, and have successfully co-parented with my child's mother for over a decade now.
I enjoy playing sports (basketball, soccer, and tennis) and am an avid reader.

He got right on everything and we were very surprised to see that he was able to do all that he said ...

Destroys cases
Benjamin Porter is not on top of his game, he should not be allowed to practice law anywhere in the country, literally destroyed my case, he misformed me that a crucial court order was still standing although the order had been revoked for over 6 weeks.

A true friend; oh, & a lawyer...
There is a genuiness and humbleness about Mr. Porter... He is somewhat soft spoken, that seemingly works to his advantage and adds to his character. I found him to be quite knowledgeable as well as well-veresed! He didn't feel like a lawyer- I didn't feel like a client! We shared sympathy, empathy...
