Client Testimonials

My cancer diagnosis hit our family hard. Finding out that I was misdiagned made matters worse. Contacting Porter Law Group was my saving grace. From the start, Mike was at my side reassuring me that he would be there for support and guidance. I felt like family. The firm worked hard for my case and was very successful without going to court. I wouldn’t have wanted any other team on my side besides Porter Law! Very professional, friendly and very highly regarded in the legal community. Top notch group.

I give my highest possible recommendation to Mike Porter. Through no fault of my own, I was seriously injured in a high-speed car accident one morning on the way to work. Soon after I was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. While the physical impacts were extensive, my everyday ability to function both on the job and at home was no longer the same. The overall impacts of this injury cut short many years of professional and academic experience, and my career was derailed. I will never forget Mike’s personal attention, persistence and professionalism as he guided me through a long process of medical rehabilitation and financial uncertainty. In short, his work provided long-term security for my wife and two daughters. I cannot thank him enough for his help during my time of need.

I was in a bad car accident a few years ago (through no fault of my own). I suffered severe injuries and lost my job as a result. I hired the Porter Law Group to represent my husband and me in a lawsuit against the driver who hit my car. Mike Porter and Eric Nordby (and their legal assistant, Ana) did a wonderful job for us, and they secured a very sizeable settlement for us before we had to go through a trial. Everyone at Porter Law Group was very friendly, answered all of our questions, and treated us like family. My husband and I cannot speak more highly of this firm, and all they did for us to get us back on our feet. We are so fortunate to have had them and now we know if we need any legal assistance in the future, we can always count on them.

The Porter Law Group assisted us in securing a settlement for a malpractice suit. We contacted this law firm in the fall of 2011, and met with them shortly thereafter. My husband was receiving chemotherapy treatments at the time, as he had been diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer that had metastasized to his liver. We were impressed immediately as they treated my husband and myself with care, concern and dignity, taking into consideration that he was very ill and weak from his disease and treatments. This law firm took a very personal approach to our situation and put us completely at ease with sharing upsetting and personal details. They were always compassionate and respectful of our feelings, scheduling times to meet that were convenient for us. This law firm went above and beyond in making a very difficult and emotional situation a seamless one. This practice treated us as if we were a member of their family, and at the closure of our case we felt as if they were members of our family.

The particular insurance company involved in the case was very resistant to a fair settlement, thus, ending up in a trial. Mike’s resolve in helping me was evident throughout as he had worked tirelessly to show how my life has changed. He dedicated so much time in bringing to light who I was as an active, fit person before the accident and who I have become with now physical limitation. Mike had done so much research and spoken to so many people surrounding my case in depth and with true understanding of me and my situation. He is persistent in his pursuit for justice and has served me well with a just settlement. At every turn, which were many, my family and I were always treated with the utmost professionalism and respect.

The office personnel makes you feel comfortable and takes your needs into consideration.
