Elizabeth L Porter

I hope this review finds the teenage single mom who fears for her child’s safety and future. I cannot say enough amazing things about Elizabeth Porter. I met with numerous lawyers through my divorce and custody/child support battle. The system fails single moms, but Elizabeth Porter does not. From th...e beginning she was upfront and honest with me, she talked with me on a personal level… allowed me to cry and made me feel safe. No other lawyer cared, they just wanted my money. She gave me scenarios and what the true outcome would be so I wouldn’t have false hope or end up disappointed all over again. She cared for my heart, my safety and my child’s safety. She shared with me about her past to help me feel comfortable and have hope for me and my child’s future. She’s not just a lawyer but an incredible influence and constantly gives selflessly to her community. I will always send any friends or family to her if they need a lawyer. She is truly one of my favorite and most trusted individuals. I can’t thank her enough for walking with me through my hard times.

Original post 8 years ago. I had a very negative expierence with this attorney and Requested my money back. I am a disabled military wife of an active duty soldier and , I hired her for a custody hearing for my 4 daughters and after basically saying look youve done nothing I want my money back and ...am Lodging a complaint with the Mississippi Bar she passed the blamed onto her assistant, and asked me for more time and more money. She wanted more money for a job she hadnt done and did everything she could to extend time. Then when I asked her assistant for my paperwork and court file she told me to stop harassing her assistant , blocked me from emailing the office and told me I could contact her only. Then when I told her I wasnt paying her anymore money because she had not done the job I hired her for , which was the custody representation for my 4 daughter, I wrote a demand for refund letter for the $3000 retainer and the amount for shipping and my replacement court custody file she said she had didnt have any longer not only that I had to send her a bill for the 2000 page court file. My advise if if you arent in the state to meet your attorney do not hire them. I am still waiting for my refund. I am just going to say I had a horribly negative experience and i felt strung along. each time I called she was out of the office, in court, on vacation,sick her kid was sick, she was going thru her own divorce, she had a personal day. I notified her I was a DISABLED MILITARY WIFE OF A SOLDIER WHO WAS ACTIVE DUTY AND GOING TO DEPLOY TO AFGHANISTAN and she was quick to take money money and I got NOOOOO representation. Then when I called and emailed to get services she said I was harassing her assistant , who she pushed me off on. I wouldnt even give this person a star. Today LITERALLY 8 YEARS LATER- Ms Porter attempted to gas light me saying I was dishonest in providing information in my case. SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEFAME MY GOOD NAME AND CHARACTER. I FIRED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS HORRIBLE- she DIDNT DO THE JOB SHE WAS HIRED TO DO AND TRIED TO KEEP MY MONEY. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS DONE THIS TOO. 8 YEARS LATER... I AM RESPONDING TO HER ATTEMPT TO GAS LIGHT ME. SHE CANT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS OR LACK THEIR OF. HAD SHE DONE WHAT SHE WAS HIRED TO DO THIS REVIEW WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT. 8 YEARS LATER DOESNT SEEM SHE CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS STILL. LESS THAN ONE STAR AND ZERO INTEGRITY.

Elizabeth went above and beyond for me while I was stationed overseas and 5,000 miles away from Mississippi. I’m an active duty army soldier and my wife and I used Elizabeth for a custody matter. Elizabeth and her team communicated efficiently on multiple occasions regardless of the 5 hour time diffe...rence. We were on a time crunch due to the army and they handled everything properly, professionally, and in a very timely manner. I cannot thank Elizabeth and her team enough. They went above and beyond for us and we are so very thankful for them! They are a God send!

During my initial consultation with Elizabeth about getting a divorce she was very informative. She made sure to get all the background information on my marriage, my spouse, and myself. After hiring her to represent me the divorce took three years and she was there with me every step of the way!! I...t did not matter when I called her office or what I needed if she happened to be in court that day she would call me back just as soon as she returned to the office. I dropped by her office several times to pick up something or leave something and if she was there she always made time for me!!! Very outstanding and professional lady!
