Wonderful, hard-working, dedicated attorney!

Elizabeth has been such an amazing attorney for me. She started working with me as I adopted my first son. She met with me and explained things at each step of the adoption process. She then helped me adopt my second son. She never seemed too busy to answer all my questions or to quiet my concerns an...d anxieties. She made sure every single detail was covered. Later, unfortunately, she represented me again in my divorce. I was met with the same dedication and patience as the other two times I needed her. She let me cry, answered my many questions, reassured me, and was there to guide me at every new step. She is kind and compassionate. She is hard working and dedicated. She is completely worth every penny and I never felt anything but gratitude toward her. If you are looking for someone thoughtful, patient, hard working, knowledgeable, and all around magnificent-look no further! She’s an A+ attorney!!

Outstanding!

My experience with Elizabeth Porter was nothing short of exceptional. In navigating a complex child custody case, she demonstrated a remarkable blend of legal expertise and genuine empathy. Her meticulous approach to the details of my case, coupled with a commitment to fairness, set her apart. Wha...t truly stood out was her ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Throughout the proceedings, she consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and an unwavering dedication to my case. Her strategic thinking and thorough preparation were evident in every interaction. It was apparent that she had a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in child custody matters. Despite the challenges, she remained composed and focused, always prioritizing the best interests of my child. In the end, her efforts culminated in a successful outcome—I was granted custody of my child. This victory is a direct result of her hard work, legal acumen, and commitment to fairness. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a family law expert, especially in challenging custody cases.

Client

Very bad experience! For four months , other than the initial consultation where I paid her in full, I never spoke directly to her. Her assistance always said she was busy and in court and would let me know. I had to constantly call and email to try to get answers. After getting a divorce agreement O...n my own, I have her 2 weeks to compile papers and they missed the deadline and the thrown together papers she gave me had another clients info still in them. I demanded my full $3000 returned because she literally did nothing but hurt my situation and waste time. Of course, That didn't happen. She was a waste of time and money.

Hi, Karen, I remember working on your case from my bathroom floor while I was vomiting and your telling me you didn't care if I was sick. If you'd like to discuss the actual facts, feel free to contact me directly so that we are not discussing your private life on a public forum.

Glad Elizabeth was in our corner!

Elizabeth Porter is the most honest lawyer I have ever met and I would bet ever meet again. Ethical, loving, kind, knowledgeable, available, and a great thinker. She never made me feel like I was bothering her when I had a lot of questions and never left me thinking my questions weren't warranted. I'...m glad we had her in our corner.

Angel with a law degree

I can honestly say that Elizabeth Porter has the utmost ethical standards of any attorney that I have dealt with. She took the time to explain the particulars of my case, was always available to take my calls and was professional and courteous. She never rushed through talking to me or through meetin...gs. She went above and beyond with my case. I recommend her highly to anybody who wants excellent representation.
