Erika Shawn Porter

I was referred to Erika by another attorney as someone who might handle a small criminal matter for a young adult family member. Her retainer was more than reasonable and we secured her services. I found her to be quite adept at navigating the legal system and players in General Sessions Court. She ...achieved the desired outcome expressed during our consultation. Her communication before and after the court hearing was excellent; she seemed to have genuine interest in my family member’s future.

Ms. Porter has the passion, drive and determination it takes to hold her own and succeed in the hostile world that our justice system can be. I am a retired US Marine, and was wrongfully accused and charged with 4 serious felonies. Over the course of two years and several setback, Ms Porter never f...altered. She tried everything in her power to resolve it reasonably, to no avail. Once my case went to trial, she performed beyond expectations. Even as the judge was actively working against us, heavily favoring the State with all decisions, and not allowing anyone to testify on my behalf, Ms. Porters was steadfast. Her words during closing arguments literally brought tears to the eyes of some of the jurors. And after a very tense 45 min wait...Not Guilty! I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I very much consider Ms. Porter a member of my family now. I've spent many a frustrated night talking to her, with never a complaint. If there was a way to give her 9 stars I would. Very much recommend!!
