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!

Elizabeth and her paralegals handled both my divorce and my adoption for me. These events were going on simultaneously and Elizabeth’s guidance was exactly what I needed to make sure the process flowed smoothly. I would have been lost without her. She even told me the steps to take post-adoption to m...ake sure all of my child’s affairs were in order. She is fair, reasonable and really cares about her clients!

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.

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!

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!!
