Finally... someone who could and was willing to help!

The last four plus years dealing with my ex was a nightmare. Arthur saw right through it all and got down to business. He was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and got the job done. He devised a strategy that I was comfortable with and got positive results. I finally have some peace in ...my life and can focus on what's important. Thank you!

I would highly recommend Arthur Porter

I hired Arthur and his very capable staff after firing my first attorney. He has a can do attitude that he backed up with a ton of knowledge in family law. He was an ethical advocate for me. He succeeded where my first attorney said we would fail. He is a good man who is involved in our communit...y in many ways. I would not hesitate to use Arthur in the future and highly recommend him to my friends who may need his services.

"Mr. Porter and I worked opposite on an extraordinarily difficult dissolution with children case. In the end, we were able to work out a detailed and fair settlement that was mutually acceptable to both parties, which was no small task. During that process, I found him to be a shrewd and zealous advocate for his client and, more importantly, a trustworthy and honest man. I endorse this attorney."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.

Suspension issued in CO, 1999

updated on 07/11/2018

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Arthur’s comment:

“I have been aggressively representing clients for 35 years. This case, from the mid 90's, involved a claim by my client against his former attorney. Unfortunately, my firm made a mistake and our client suffered as a result. Fees were refunded. This punishment was accepted. I am not one to make excuses, or to shirk responsibility. Integrity matters.”
