WONDERFUL ATTORNEY!!

My husband and I were looking for some legal information on how to navigate a family custody case in another county and Mrs. Porter was NOT SHY!! She was honest with us, she told us various possibilities. She didn't allow her lack of knowledge of another county's court system deter her from helping ...us. She even made wonderful references to lawyers that were able to practice in the county that we needed. I like that she was up-front with us. She immediately said that she didn't work in that particular county, but she STILL did her due diligence in helping us. She understood where we were coming from as former foster parents and actually HEARD US. We loved her and would go back to her in a heartbeat if we needed to!! She has also kept in contact with us on our case and offerred prayer for us as we went forward. There is nothing like an attorney that places her clients first!!

Timely and Efficient

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!

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!!

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.
