Gloria Finn Porter

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.

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.

Background: I was suddenly faced with a divorce (no kids) and had no idea what to expect. I did an online search and came across many attorney firms in Spokane. I interviewed three attorneys before meeting Gloria. Gloria had been referred to me by an employment law firm. I met Gloria and never l...ooked back! Here’s what you need to know about Gloria: Trustworthy: She is up front and honest about what you can 1. Expect from her and 2. Expect in the next steps of your case. I never felt as if she didn’t have MY best interest in mind. I heard many times “the only ones who win in divorce are the attorney’s”, I never felt as though Gloria took advantage of my situation or was “winning” for her own personal gain. I trusted Gloria and over the course of 8.5 months she continued to retain my trust as MY advocate. Responsive/Kept me informed: She is always (add italics to always!) available. I know she juggles many clients successfully. I appreciated that I could call or text her. If there is a detail that is important to you, she will make it a priority to inform you immediately. Knowledgeable: Gloria has an immense amount of knowledge in regards to cases, case law, judges, commissioners and other attorney’s. It’s very clear she is passionate about understanding and applying her field of study. She is well articulated, quick on her feet and doesn’t forget a detail. Flexibility: I cannot stress this enough! Gloria worked with my work schedule and particularly before/after work hours and weekends for our meetings. During such a difficult time, it was appreciated I could keep some normalcy with my work schedule and still meet the needs of moving forward in my divorce. Advocate: She’s going to truly be your advocate, supporter and champion for your situation. In addition to the legalities of my situation, she was also able to assist me with keeping my emotions in check. Reminding me of the things we had within our control and the things we were working towards. She is a very compassionate attorney who has a no nonsense bedside manner. If my situation involved kids, I would especially want Gloria as my advocate. Other Details: You’ll love her engaging personality (I promise, even amidst a storm you learn these things!), her dogs, and Lizzy. I hear she’s “expensive” but when you are fighting for a new chapter in your life… you want someone who will FULLY advocate for YOU, not the attorney’s paralegal/assistant. Trust me; you want the person who is most knowledgeable and available to you – Gloria is. Gloria IS the best.

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
