The Best of The Best

Humble and very well respected in her field, Gloria is an absolute godsend to anybody seeking legal representation in family law matters. She has mastered the ability to know her clients on such personal levels while still representing them with the utmost professionalism. I have recommended Ms. Por...ter to people seeking Legitimate council. What one attorney took four years to do, Gloria did it in one year. She is worth every cent.

Amazing and extremely competent!!!

Ms Porter provided us with thorough and knowledgeable representation. She was always professional and follow through with everything we asked her to do as well as things we hadn’t anticipated. Her scope and breath of knowledge is Exceptional and we have returned to her and referred family and frien...ds to her as well.

Cares about her client/aggressive when she needs to be

Gloria was able to get a founded finding by CPS over turned in Superior Court and approximately $20,000 in legal fees from CPS were awarded to us, which I believe is quite rare. Gloria's oration skills in Court are subperb. She has a lawyer named Beth who helps with brief writing and she is a genius.... Unfortunately CPS has retaliated against me. I've never seen a lawyer so aggressive in defending her client, she will demand things from the other attorney directly. She's a great cross examiner. But the thing that puts Gloria head and shoulders above other attorneys is that she deeply cares.

Family Law

I would not go through the divorce process without Gloria. Several of my friends ended up financially bankrupt because of their divorce settlement. After being married for 23 years, I thought I would be facing a severe penalty of working 2 jobs for the rest of my life to maintain my lifestyle and pay... for spousal support. My ex-spouse hired an Attorney with a reputation that truly scared me. She explained the divorce process and several possible outcomes and questioned my reasonable expectation for settlement. At the end of the day, an agreement was reached with terms that I felt comfortable with. I honestly believe I would not have gotten these terms without Gloria. She ensured that I ended up with the deal I was willing to accept. Divorce is scary in and of itself but having an Attorney that you’re not one hundred percent confident with is terrifying. Hire Gloria and sleep at night.

Actual Attorney with Integrity

I came to Gloria 15 years ago. Through divorce and years of custody issues, she has guided me. I found myself angry when there were times I wanted it one way, and she said the opposite. But she was right and she won. But she didn't just win in court......she paved the path to get our family back.... Never will I meet another attorney who deserves more respect than that of Ms. Gloria Porter.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I do not practice in the areas of law that Gloria practices, so when I have a client who needs representation I have to refer them to another attorney. I do not hesitate to refer people to Gloria because I can be confident that they will receive the best representation possible. That's important because when I refer a client, I want to make sure that client is happy with the referral. I would give her five stars if I could."
