Arlette G. Porter

Attorney Porter came highly recommended to me as an excellent attorney. The recommendation was 100% accurate. Upon working with Attorney Porter, I automatically knew that I was in good hands. She was thorough, caring, and worked for my best interest at all times. I immediately felt that I could trust... her to work on my behalf and fight for what was fair in the divorce proceedings. Beyond being an attorney working on behalf of your legal issues, she also cares about you as an individual. She made a very stressful situation, doable, as she kept me informed and prepared me for hearings well ahead of time. Hands down, Attorney Arlette Porter is 10 out of 10.

Highly recommend Arlette!! She’s confident, professional, kind, tough when she needs to be and just brilliant when it comes to family law. If you need an attorney for family law/divorce and want to feel like they actually care about you and your case…higher Arlette Porter! So grateful to have been ab...le to retain her. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

I wouldn’t recommend her to my worse enemy!! She was appointed by the court to represent our child which I’m not even sure exactly what she even got paid for, besides a couple visits nothing else was done. She will however harass you for money, charged $75 for a 3 min phone call once , pretend like s...he had appointments scheduled when didn’t so she can stack on extra fees per her negligence. Threatened to take our case to trial like we weren’t aware of that being unlawful because she didn’t get payment at her convenience. And that’s not even all! She’s a horrible person and horrible Attorney her best interest is Greed!! I highly would not recommend I would give no stars if I could!! If I had the time and patience I would sue her for lack of doing her job!

I have had several adversarial matters with MS. Porter and in every instance her intellect, ethics, professionalism and approach is of the finest order. She has the respect of her peers, the Judiciary and the love of her clients. It is always a pleasure and a privilege to engage in solving problems ...with individuals of her talents.

Arlette Porter is NOT a good attorney. She drug my case along for months, talking tough, leading me to believe that she was on my side. Then, when it was time to actually put in some work, and do the job that I hired her to do, she completely changed her approach. For months, she led me to believe... that we could BUILD A CASE around certain facts and evidence, then just never presented ANYTHING in court. Never argued anything. Her presence, her title, the money that I paid her, etc...all for nothing. I could have walked into court myself, and done a better job arguing my case...because I ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE ARGUED MY CASE. When I questioned her tactics, she completely changed the whole tone of our relationship. For months, it had been about what we were going to do...then suddenly, it became about all the things that we COULDN'T do. She led me to believe, for months, that we could argue this, or argue that. And once it was time to actually argue this or that, all she does is give me reasons that we can't argue this or that. She didn't even try. It was a completely dishonest way of doing business. Let me know initially that you don't intend on actually fighting for my rights, and we could have simply parted ways early, and I would not have wasted time, money, and opportunity piddling around with an attorney who never had any plans on fighting on my behalf. Furthermore, Arlette Porter is consistently disorganized, and for lack of a better term, "scatterbrained". There were numerous examples of me telling her something, or giving her important information, and then her completely forgetting what we had discussed. This includes her telling me AFTER THE FACT, what we should have done legally to strengthen my case. WHAT DID I HIRE YOU FOR, if not to be on top of my legal matters!?! If you know that we should have filed a motion or whatever, WHY DID WE NOT FILE IT?!?! What attorney says to their client, once it's too late, "oh, we'd have had a chance, but we should have done XYZ?" Well, we had the chance to do XYZ! Why are you telling me that now! A good attorney would have actually done XYZ, right? We hire attorneys to HELP AND ASSIST us through legal matters. We trust and believe in their expertise. They are our voices, they are our advocates, they lead our decisions as we attempt to navigate the unfamiliar waters of the legal system. Arlette Porter did not do any of that. She sold me a bill of goods, and when it was time to deliver, she didn't even TRY to do anything that she spent months claiming we could do. I can understand if we take our shot, and it just doesn't work out...I get that there are no guarantees of victory or success. But to lead me to believe in you, and then NOT EVEN TRY? That is dishonest, and a bad practice. I would not recommend Arlette Porter to anyone. There are a million attorney's out there...please learn from my mistake, and go another route.
