Posted by anonymous | October 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Sex Crime

Sex Offender Laws

Mr. Porter is becoming an expert in sex offended laws and recently was successful in removing a registrant from any further requirements to register in New Mexico. He is one of only a few attorneys who recognize the need for challenge and representation in this area. We felt very well taken care of.

Awesome Honest Attorney

Mr. Porter assisted my son with an extridiction case. His honesty and hard work was outstanding. My son was honorably discharged from the Militay in 2013 and moved home to Albuquerque unaware of any charges pending till 2015 when he was arrested. His case was dismissed and Mr. Porter went above wha...t was expected. He reached out to the other state to help find an attorney and also assisted in getting us all the facts He was very honest with what we could expect. Many lawyers I contacted on my son's behalf gave alot of promises and wanted a huge commitment from me I was not ready to give. I felt such a relief the first time I met Mr. Porter and his caring attitude. In court he offered help to a young girl sitting next to us who was unsure of the process in court and what she was suppose to do and who her public defender was. He went out of his way to find out all the information for her. I was amazed at how compassonate he is. I truly recomend him anytime you are in need he is truly a wonderful, honest and hard working attorney. He is up front with his fees no hidden costs or surprises.
