Well done, Counselor!

Ms. Porter represented me during a stressful, complicated divorce in 2007. Due to a change in a FAA regulation the original document required a clarification regarding maintenance. She remembered my case and was able to promptly make a motion in which after some response from my ex-spouse's attorne...y (lots of smoke and mirrors) resolved the issue to my satisfaction. She is intelligent, compassionate and full of good humor. She wields the law with fairness. I regard her as a great asset to myself and the community.

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.

the one you can trust

I have a lot of experience with lawyers since my issues seemed impossible to rectify. I have been through the courts with 2 different "reputable" attorney's; I went through 10's of thousands of dollars before I finally found Gloria. I got lucky with a recommendation to use Gloria Porter. I must say t...hat from my experience, this female attorney was the most honest, experienced, straight forward, determined and knowledgeable attorney that produced results for me that I thought would never happen. I am a father who received SOLE LEGAL & PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY of my daughter, which does not happen often in the WA State Court System. Gloria was the angel for my daughter and I; she knew what was right and put her heart and pristine skill into my case- because she cares. I never found an attorney that cared so much about what was right for her client and used her skill to fight for it. Glorias performance is one of a kind, because I have been sold so many promises from other attorney's that I truly thought would get it done-- sadly, minimal results at the cost of big bucks is what I experienced over the last 3.5 years. I had court a few weeks ago when this all came true, and I am on cloud nine that I have my little girl full time in good hands, where she should be. I could talk about how organized Gloria's law ethic combined with her experience, intelligence and history with the courts made me comfortable, but the truth of the matter is her passion for law was the driving force that gave me the results I have today. There is nothing more important then our children and Gloria brought my daughter back to her home with me; I am willing to talk more about my experience because I vouch for this elite lawyer with all my heart.

"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."
