I was in a probate and real estate situation that quickly turned complex and difficult. I called upon David Porter and he acted quickly and with competently to put things in order. There were some odd facts to this case and Dave knew what to do and came up with creative and effective solutions. He communicates very promptly and is empathetic to the emotions people are experiencing in a probate case. I am so grateful that I hired him and would recommend him without qualification.

It is with both professional respect and high personal regard that I optimistically recommend David Porter as an estate planning attorney. I have referred many clients to him over the years and everyone gives him rave reviews.

I have known Dave for over 30 years. I have used him in a variety of business and personal matters. He is knowledgeable, responsive and thorough. What I also appreciate about Dave is that he will tell you when he does not feel qualified to handle a particular issue and will refer you to other counsel. That is unusual for many who will often take on something better handled by another person. I would have no reservation recommending Dave to a friend or family member.

. I have been the Community Education Coordinator for the Southwest area of Minneapolis for the past 37 years, and have known David for over three decades. I have a high regard for his integrity and commitment to working professionaly and fairly with people. His involvement in our community programas and his commitment to the well-being of the children and residents of this area has been commendable and consistent. I know that he is an excellent attorney and you can depend on him, as evidenced by his other cleint reviews, to meet your legals needs with what you would need and expect from an outstanding attorney.

Daid Porter handled my legal needs with timeliness, empathy,professional decorum with a great sense of humor and with thorough knowledge of his field

The first time Mr. Porter provided legal services to me was over 30 years ago. That was a property matter and he handled it perfectly. Since then I have become a lawyer and relied on Mr. Porter to provide guidance to me both personally and on professional matters. I have the utmost confidence in both his abilities and his dedication to his clients. Mr. Porter is also a positive influence on the community. Everyone who lives in South Minneapolis knows who he is and I doubt anyone would hesitate to use him as their lawyer. I know David has been disciplined in the past but he handled that matter with dignity and paved the way for other lawyers to receive fair treatment when the going gets rough as it can for anyone. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Porter for any matter within his field of expertise. I also would not hesitate to ask him advice on a personal matter. He's both a great lawyer and a great guy.

Dave Porter wrote the wills for both of my parents about 20 years ago. My dad died in 2008 and my mom in 2009. Dave was very sympathetic and supportive, beyond just being a lawyer, when my parents died. He truly cares and takes interest in interpersonal relationships. I was the "personal rep" for the estate. As such I met with Dave to begin the probate process. I was impressed by how he navigated the system so knowedgeably and efficiently. Right from his office he acquired a government tax ID for the estate. Amazing! In one simple meeting he set the wheels in motion for all the various governmental requirements. The probate process was efficient and effective!! Dave Porter is totally trustworthy and I will recommend him to anyone.

I've been working with Mr. Porter now since December 27, 2010. My brother passed away suddenly and didn't leave a will. Dave impressed me from the beginning with his kindness, extensive knowledge, and no bull attitude. For the last six months he had to deal with several insurance companies, heirs of the estate, mounds of paperwork, and even had to search county records over 20 years back for my brother's divorce decree. No matter what the challenge he always did it with a smile, a kind word, and utmost professionalism. Dave's been around. His stories are fascinating and his laugh is contagious. His fee was very very reasonable considering the countless hours he put in on this estate. The estate has finally been settled and everyone is happy. I'm so very fortunate to of had Dave at my side through all this. I don't just consider him my attorney, I consider him my friend. I highly recommend Dave Porter to anyone.
