Elizabeth L Porter

She charged me $3000 in 2016 without doing any legal work for me at all! I was cheated on in my marriage and in physical danger every day from my ex husband via harrassment, stalking, breaking and entering, and every abuse type. I was afraid to piss him off and just wanted to get out. I kicked him... out and started a non contested process quietly and went to Elizabeth for a consultation and hired her. My father is barred in Louisiana and did the entire community property settlement agreement. My insane ex turned around and sued me 3 months into this process of which she did nothing. She refused to begin to start being my lawyer unless I gave her $4500 more on top of the $3000 for a contested divorce. My ex and I worked together, which she knew, so I had literally zero funds and zero protection. This woman refused to help me for any less money and refused to work out a payment plan with the future alimony and child support that any other lawyer on the planet would have gotten me… despite the imminent, physical danger me and my son were in. THEN, she sent a falsified, itemized billing statement charging me THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS (in 2016, mind you) for literally going back and forth with me on whether or not she would represent me. She didn’t do ANY LEGAL WORK WHATSOEVER AND LEFT ME AND MY CHILD IN PHYSICAL DANGER WITHOUT ANY OPTIONS. Refusing to reimburse me my money so I could get help from someone willing to do it at that price was vile and what every person recommended I file a complaint against her license because of. The only reason I didn’t was because of my fragile emotional state and extreme ptsd after years of being abused in a marriage… I didn’t get myself together in time to add another task to the list. The fact that all these years later, she still has no remorse or desire to start being an ethical person is absolutely repulsive. She knows keeping my money and leaving me and my son unprotected with a violent, rich drunk was horrifying, but she’s certainly never considered giving us our money back nor anything else. Nothing! No sweat off her back and she was $3000 richer without stepping foot into a courtroom nor doing literally anything but say “give me 4500 more”. Zero morals and zero ethics in my experience with her!! If you are in actual danger and need protection from an attorney, please reconsider and find suitable counsel!
