Best DUI defense
Mr Porta assisted my family in getting a DUI case resolved. He was very professional and is a great communicator, and was very attentive through the whole process. We are very satisfied with his work and would hire him again if I needed a lawyer.

Optimal results
Words can't explain how grateful I am for attorney Bo Porta. My husband had a serious violation of probation and chances of him getting out were very slim. Against the odds, Bo Porta obtained better results than we expected. He met my husband in jail numerous times, kept me updated and would call back quickly every time I called. In the court room you could tell he was in authority and he was always punctual. My husband was released from jail very fast due to Mr. Porta's excellent representation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for optimal results.

Great Attorney!
From the moment we consulted with Attorney Porta we knew he would be a great Attorney. He handled my family law case and my sister's criminal case. He was attentive to our cases and knew the law like the back of his hand. He guided both of us through each of our cases and helped us understand the entire process. I was confident all the way through my case. Sure enough, I won my case and so did my sister!
He is a great Attorney with many years of experience, and he clearly knew what he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced attorney who can represent them. My sister and I are both really happy with our Attorney.

Great Legal Experience
Mr. Porta was referred by a friend to work on a recent criminal case. He was very thorough (and successful) in the pursuit of the truth. During the course of trial preparation I was kept informed of everything going on (which put me at great ease) and was confident in his abilities. He has also been a great source of legal knowledge in other areas (asked recently about family legal issues) providing all options available for the best possible outcome. He is willing to make time to see and speak with you, and he's at your disposal when necessary. I will definitely do as my friend did and refer Mr. Porta for any further future legal issues.

Caring and compassionate
I have worked on two different legal issues with Mr. Porta. I have known him for approximately one and a half years. From the beginning, he was a very professional, caring and involved which is what I needed. He made sure I was informed 100% every step of the way and he made sure I understood my options. He worked hard for me to reach my goals. He is also very good at interconnecting different lawyers for different issues, thus covering and protecting you in every way. I recommend Mr. Porta wholeheartedly to anyone that needs legal help in his line of expertise.
