Expungment, done!

I hired this lawyer (James) and I absolutely do not regret it at all. Fair pricing, worked fast, responce time was incredible, and most of all just all over the best experience I've ever had with hiring an attorney. This expungment will change my life and I am beyond greatful he did what he did a...nd did it as quickly as he could, as well.

Must Hire!

I can’t express to you how grateful we are that we chose James Porter to represent me for a DUI record expungement. James expedited the process faster than we could ever imagine and we don’t have a single complaint regarding his work. He provided updates even when there was no update to be given. Jam...es was on top of things throughout the entire process and he was able to get the expungement completed only within a few months. We highly recommend James Porter to anyone who needs help with record expungement in Indiana. Thank you again James!

Expungment

I had 4 misdemeanors I needed expunged because they were holding me back from every job opportunity even though I'm a college graduate. Mr.Porter took my situation and took care of everything in a timely manner. I didn't have to ask anything really because he explained the process and updated me con...stantly through the process. If you pick anyone, pick him! Hes awesome!

Excellent attorney

I was referred to Mr. Porter concerning questions about social security disability. After speaking on the phone and meeting with James. I agreed to have him represent me. James has a great legal mind and is extremely precise in explaining the disability process. I was awarded my disability benefits.... I am thankful that James is a quality attorney. He also has a great way about him. His personality and his compassion for his clients is second to none. I am thankful that I was referred to James e porter.

Couldn’t have found a better expungement attorney

James was beyond great. He sent me everything that was being sent to judge so I really felt like I knew what was going on every step of the way. He took the time to review my letter I had written for the judge and gave me great feedback. Once my expungement was granted he went out of his way to call ...me to tell me the news instead of just sending me an email (which had been our only source of communication). He was always kind and sensitive when speaking to me about my situation and I never felt as if he was judging me, which was a big deal since that’s all my first attorney did. I could go on and on about my fantastic experience with James. Seriously the nicest guy, a fantastic attorney, and his prices are extremely fair.
