Cancer Diagnosis Hit Our Family Hard

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.

Chriss Sackett

Top-Notch Lawyer

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.

These Guys are Incredible

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.

Excellent Experience

We were referred to Porter Law Group to handle a product liability case involving a loved one. Michael Porter and Eric Nordby were very professional, attentive and caring throughout this long process. They kept us up to date on all happenings of the case and explained everything to us clearly. Whenever we had a question or concern it was addressed. Their staff were very courteous and accommodating. Mike and Eric made us feel they were doing everything possible to fight for a good outcome. We were very happy with how we were treated and how they handled our case.

Excellent Lawyer

I am extremely fortunate that Porter Law Group took my case after suffering a traumatic brain injury following a serious car accident. For over three years of medical rehabilitation and legal proceedings I worked with the lawyers and staff at the firm. They are a truly solid, forthright, and professional team. In the end, my case progressed to an eight-day civil trial. During the lead-up and long days of the trial itself, I saw firsthand what an outstanding lawyer and person Eric Nordby is. He brought an adept and thorough analytical mind, a principled work ethic, and personal dedication to my case. Eric is a highly skilled negotiator who operates calmly while under pressure. My family and I are privileged to have benefited from Eric’s expertise throughout our experience with the firm, which led to over a million dollars in financial compensation. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Wonderful Attorney

Michael Porter represented me following a motor vehicle accident. Not only was I pleased with the settlement he obtained for me, but I felt that he really fought for my rights and always had my best interests at heart. He made sure I understood what was happening with my case and involved me. Additionally, his staff were very responsive and kind throughout a difficult process. I highly recommend Mr. Porter and his firm to anyone in need of a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney.

Compassionate, Honest, Ethical

From the moment I met Michael Porter, I was treated with respect and compassion. His firm was completely attentive to my case, and kept me fully informed as we moved forward. His insights were accurate, and his suggestions were ethically sound. I recommend him enthusiastically!

Linda M.

Wonderful Lawyer

Eric Nordby assisted my husband and I recently with an incident that had us both nervous as we were very much out of our element (I work in health care and my husband works in HVAC). Eric was so quick to calm our nerves and get us on the right track toward a solution. He was always available and quick to respond with anything we needed and great to make sure we were comfortable and understood what was going on. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother resolution!

Kelly N.

Highest Regards

Michael Porter is undoubtedly the most professional, respectful and compassionate lawyer. His firm was completely attentive to my case, and kept me fully informed as we progressed. My case involved an unnecessary surgery on my foot which led to disfigurement, pain and limitations. I was compensated with his help and was able to find closure. I highly recommend his firm! His insights were honest, accurate, and his suggestions were ethically sound.

Kerry S.

Top-Shelf Attorney

I am an attorney and client of Eric Nordby. Since I’m familiar with the practice of law, I knew what to expect from my lawyer. Eric has greatly exceeded those expectations. Without a doubt, he is one of the most talented lawyers I have ever seen. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who seeks his counsel.

Paul P.

Compassionate

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.

Outstanding

Michael Porter was recommended by one of his colleagues in the community to represent my family in a malpractice/wrongful death case. We were not disappointed! Mike Porter and all of the staff at Porter Law Group understood what a difficult time it was. We were treated with the utmost respect and kindness throughout the process. Michael Porter handled the case professionally at all times. He kept me up to date with the case progress, answered questions, and returned telephone calls promptly. We were able to obtain an out of court settlement that allowed my family to stay in our home, educate my daughters, and live extremely comfortably. This was a blessing in a time of significant grief and uncertainty. I highly recommend Michael Porter as an Attorney.

Linda M.

Diligent, determined, and kind

Thanks to Mike and Eric I received a settlement that even today I can hardly believe it. Their diligence and determination made this settlement happen for me. But I also believe their heartfelt kindness and caring for people who have been wronged need to be compensated.

Carolyn C.

Top Notch Attorney

I retained Mike and Eric’s services for a Medical Malpractice Suit. Through their diligence and determination, I never had to go to court. I was awarded enough of a settlement to take care of my wife and I through and into retirement. If you are looking for an attorney that will help you and guide through a rough court case I strongly recommend the Porter Law Group.

George A.

Outstanding

The attorneys and staff of the Porter Law Group were outstanding in the handling of my case. I was a pedestrian who was struck by a food truck while volunteering at a community event. From the initial telephone call that I made to the firm, to the conclusion of the process, I was impressed with the professionalism of the personnel I dealt with at the law firm. I was also impressed with their concern for my health and the continual communication they provided regarding the case throughout the process. All of my medical bills were covered and the lawsuit was settled with an unexpectedly large financial settlement. I have nothing but good things to say about this firm and the service they provided.

Great Experience

The Porter Law Group is a great firm, and I highly recommend it. My family and I worked with Mike and Eric, and they were very professional. Even though English is not our first language, they did their absolute best to help us understand and were there for us every step of the entire process. When other lawyers told us that we did not have a case, this firm did say we had a case to fight. Through their determination, they won the case for us! My family and I are extremely grateful for all the hard work they put into our case, especially as we were going through such a hard moment in our lives. The result means so much to us, and if we ever needed a lawyer again, we would not hesitate to reach out to this firm.

Could Not Have Asked For A Better Advocate.

Mike Porter was able to assist me in my accident case where I had sustained a broken patella. 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.

Anna C.

Personal and Professional

Every person I spoke to on the was always professional and polite and directed me to the person I wanted to talk to. It was the same way when I went to the office. The Office Manager, Maureen Wagner went above and beyond when I spoke with her. If she couldn’t answer my question at that time she would find out the answer and get back to me. The office personnel makes you feel comfortable and takes your needs into consideration.

Tom C.

Down To Earth

Michael Porter represented my son in a medical malpractice case. Michael won the case for my son and we are extremely grateful for his effort, professionalism, but most of all, for his personal touch and involvement with us. He was always available, “down to earth” and caring. I strongly recommend Michael and the entire office for legal representation.

John S.

Excellent Job

Mike Porter did an excellent job with my case I cannot speak highly enough as to what he did for me. He kept me well informed of what was going on with the case. I am so glad to have him as my lawyer. Mike got the insurance company to settle for more than I expected and I don’t have to worry about money for the rest of my life. If you need a good lawyer, I highly recommend the Porter Law Group. They will treat you right.
