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.

She was an answer to a prayer!

We talked to several attorneys over the course of many years who said we would not be able to win our case against the State of WA. Gloria took on our case and was very straight forward about how difficult it was going to be going up against the state. She was certainly right about that. All along th...e process that took eight months to get to court she kept us informed. Everything she said could happen in this case did indeed happen. She is very knowlgeable in how the system works. Gloria not only got our case to court she won. She got our family out from the daily horror we had been living with for years. In the end our family now feels safe in our own home. Our family will forever be grateful to Gloria for the peace of mind we now have.

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.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER

I appreciate everything Ms. Porter did for me and my family. She was not cheap, but as they say you pay a good price for a good attorney, and you get the best results in return. Ms. Porter is the most professional Attorney I have ever worked with. She takes the time to sit down with her clients and w...orks you through each and every case, is very professional in court and so far it was always a good outcome do to her knowledge and professionalism. Ms Porter is by far the best attorney in Spokane WA, and I highly recommend her

"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."
