EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!

I highly recommend Attorney Gloria Finn Porter of Spokane, Washington. I feel very fortunate that she agreed to take our case. Gloria was professional, knowledgeable, honest, straightforward and compassionate throughout the process. She personally handled every phase of our case, keeping us well info...rmed at each step of the year long process of securing non-parental custody of our grandson. From the first time we talked with her we felt confident in her ability to accomplish a successful conclusion. And that is exactly what she did! Thank you, Gloria!

Justice Prevails!!

Gloria Finn Porter is an excellent attorney!!!! You will not regret hiring her. I had the pleasure of hiring her and having her work for me for approximately two years. During that timeframe she involved me throughout the entire process, I always felt well prepared for every single hearing. She knows... all the right professionals and will point you in the right direction while standing beside you the entire way. Gloria will be your best advocate. She is always readily available by phone, text message or email to answer any questions or to notify you of anything that was filed that day and to talk about the next steps and to discuss strategies. Gloria works for herself therefore I never had to work with a Paralegal. This was extremely important as there were so many little details during my case that Gloria knew and could discuss in the courtroom, and this was because I was always working with her and her only. She is a very smart woman and could remember all the little details and knew exactly when to bring them up and use them in court documents and during a hearing. Gloria is a highly respected attorney in the court room. Gloria is extremely smart and strategic. She always had a plan I felt that she never steered me in the wrong direction. One of the really nice and convenient things about Gloria is she is located right across from the Spokane Court House. This made it easy to park at her office and walk over to the Court House together preparing and reviewing what the main points would be for the hearing. I never once felt that Gloria was "in it for the money" the entire time she saw the truth in my case and knew what we were fighting for. Gloria truly cared about me and getting myself and my children the best outcome, which was me, a DAD gaining full custody of my children. I had a very complex case and we were expecting a two week trial. Gloria was able to settle outside of the courtroom, saving me a lot of money, and gaining full custody of my children. If I had to do it again, I would hire Gloria Finn Porter in a heartbeat, no questions asked, she was a God send.

Highly Recommended!

When I first met Ms Porter I was going through my initial stages of divorce. While she was highly recommended to me by a respected lawyer and a friend, ms Porters level of professionalism and compassion exceeded even my greatest expectations. In desperate times as divorce is, you need family, friends... and a good, excellent lawyer on your side. I found all three in Gloria Porter. She guided me through a long and overwhelming legal process and never lost her patience despite my frequent and immense inquiries. Ms. Porter provided me with professional support and was also an inspiration to me. Throughout the divorce and later another family court matter, Porter kept my children’s and my best interest in place and defended our position passionately. I am very grateful to her for her sincere compassion and legal assistance during one of the most challenging times of my life. I would never hesitate to use or refer her outstanding services to anyone in need of a top notch professional and an amazing individual.

"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."
