Erika Shawn Porter

I would highly recommend hiring Erika Porter! She is not only just a great human being in general but an amazing attorney. She works with you as a person and not just another client in the books… but with that being said she still knows the books to a literal tea. She very blunt about what is going o...n and what is going to be best for you. If I could rate 100 stars I for sure would!

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!!

I was referred to Erika Porter by a well respected lawyer who took care of me and my families needs for years. 2 weeks ago, I found myself facing a civil matter AND domestic assault charge. My previous lawyer informed me he had begun his retirement, but recommended Erika Porter for her unique ability... to handle these 2 separate charges, so of course I followed his advice. I must say, Ms. Porter is not the average lawyer. She is sharp, strategic, knowledgeable, and always seems to be a step ahead, thinking about the best long term outcome, even beyond the case. She's unequivocally in the top 1% of attorneys in Middle Tennessee. I know it's because it's her goal to be not just good, not just knowledgeable, sympathetic, and effective, but to be THE best. So if you can possibly retain her, I encourage you to jump on it RIGHT NOW. Oh, my charges and court date outcomes? How about dismissed and expunged on the spot. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!
