My husband and I were looking for some legal information on how to navigate a family custody case in another county and Mrs. Porter was NOT SHY!! She was honest with us, she told us various possibilities. She didn't allow her lack of knowledge of another county's court system deter her from helping us. She even made wonderful references to lawyers that were able to practice in the county that we needed. I like that she was up-front with us. She immediately said that she didn't work in that particular county, but she STILL did her due diligence in helping us. She understood where we were coming from as former foster parents and actually HEARD US. We loved her and would go back to her in a heartbeat if we needed to!! She has also kept in contact with us on our case and offerred prayer for us as we went forward. There is nothing like an attorney that places her clients first!!

Original post 8 years ago. I had a very negative expierence with this attorney and Requested my money back. I am a disabled military wife of an active duty soldier and , I hired her for a custody hearing for my 4 daughters and after basically saying look youve done nothing I want my money back and am Lodging a complaint with the Mississippi Bar she passed the blamed onto her assistant, and asked me for more time and more money. She wanted more money for a job she hadnt done and did everything she could to extend time. Then when I asked her assistant for my paperwork and court file she told me to stop harassing her assistant , blocked me from emailing the office and told me I could contact her only. Then when I told her I wasnt paying her anymore money because she had not done the job I hired her for , which was the custody representation for my 4 daughter, I wrote a demand for refund letter for the $3000 retainer and the amount for shipping and my replacement court custody file she said she had didnt have any longer not only that I had to send her a bill for the 2000 page court file. My advise if if you arent in the state to meet your attorney do not hire them. I am still waiting for my refund. I am just going to say I had a horribly negative experience and i felt strung along. each time I called she was out of the office, in court, on vacation,sick her kid was sick, she was going thru her own divorce, she had a personal day. I notified her I was a DISABLED MILITARY WIFE OF A SOLDIER WHO WAS ACTIVE DUTY AND GOING TO DEPLOY TO AFGHANISTAN and she was quick to take money money and I got NOOOOO representation. Then when I called and emailed to get services she said I was harassing her assistant , who she pushed me off on. I wouldnt even give this person a star. Today LITERALLY 8 YEARS LATER- Ms Porter attempted to gas light me saying I was dishonest in providing information in my case. SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEFAME MY GOOD NAME AND CHARACTER. I FIRED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS HORRIBLE- she DIDNT DO THE JOB SHE WAS HIRED TO DO AND TRIED TO KEEP MY MONEY. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS DONE THIS TOO. 8 YEARS LATER... I AM RESPONDING TO HER ATTEMPT TO GAS LIGHT ME. SHE CANT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS OR LACK THEIR OF. HAD SHE DONE WHAT SHE WAS HIRED TO DO THIS REVIEW WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT. 8 YEARS LATER DOESNT SEEM SHE CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS STILL. LESS THAN ONE STAR AND ZERO INTEGRITY.

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing for the moment we reached out to her. She got us in and had our cased moved along so quickly. She answered any questions we had along the way and completed from start to finish very quickly. She was very compassionate and caring about our situation. Very professional and couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you Elizabeth. We will be back soon for another matter.

During my initial consultation with Elizabeth about getting a divorce she was very informative. She made sure to get all the background information on my marriage, my spouse, and myself. After hiring her to represent me the divorce took three years and she was there with me every step of the way!! It did not matter when I called her office or what I needed if she happened to be in court that day she would call me back just as soon as she returned to the office. I dropped by her office several times to pick up something or leave something and if she was there she always made time for me!!! Very outstanding and professional lady!

Elizabeth has been such an amazing attorney for me. She started working with me as I adopted my first son. She met with me and explained things at each step of the adoption process. She then helped me adopt my second son. She never seemed too busy to answer all my questions or to quiet my concerns and anxieties. She made sure every single detail was covered. Later, unfortunately, she represented me again in my divorce. I was met with the same dedication and patience as the other two times I needed her. She let me cry, answered my many questions, reassured me, and was there to guide me at every new step. She is kind and compassionate. She is hard working and dedicated. She is completely worth every penny and I never felt anything but gratitude toward her. If you are looking for someone thoughtful, patient, hard working, knowledgeable, and all around magnificent-look no further! She’s an A+ attorney!!

I hope this review finds the teenage single mom who fears for her child’s safety and future. I cannot say enough amazing things about Elizabeth Porter. I met with numerous lawyers through my divorce and custody/child support battle. The system fails single moms, but Elizabeth Porter does not. From the beginning she was upfront and honest with me, she talked with me on a personal level… allowed me to cry and made me feel safe. No other lawyer cared, they just wanted my money. She gave me scenarios and what the true outcome would be so I wouldn’t have false hope or end up disappointed all over again. She cared for my heart, my safety and my child’s safety. She shared with me about her past to help me feel comfortable and have hope for me and my child’s future. She’s not just a lawyer but an incredible influence and constantly gives selflessly to her community. I will always send any friends or family to her if they need a lawyer. She is truly one of my favorite and most trusted individuals. I can’t thank her enough for walking with me through my hard times.

Elizabeth and her staff were absolutely wonderful with both of my adoptions! She was very knowledgeable about her job and made everything go as smoothly and quickly as possible! I would definitely recommend her!

My experience with Elizabeth Porter was nothing short of exceptional. In navigating a complex child custody case, she demonstrated a remarkable blend of legal expertise and genuine empathy. Her meticulous approach to the details of my case, coupled with a commitment to fairness, set her apart. What truly stood out was her ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Throughout the proceedings, she consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and an unwavering dedication to my case. Her strategic thinking and thorough preparation were evident in every interaction. It was apparent that she had a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in child custody matters. Despite the challenges, she remained composed and focused, always prioritizing the best interests of my child. In the end, her efforts culminated in a successful outcome—I was granted custody of my child. This victory is a direct result of her hard work, legal acumen, and commitment to fairness. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a family law expert, especially in challenging custody cases.

Elizabeth went above and beyond for me while I was stationed overseas and 5,000 miles away from Mississippi. I’m an active duty army soldier and my wife and I used Elizabeth for a custody matter. Elizabeth and her team communicated efficiently on multiple occasions regardless of the 5 hour time difference. We were on a time crunch due to the army and they handled everything properly, professionally, and in a very timely manner. I cannot thank Elizabeth and her team enough. They went above and beyond for us and we are so very thankful for them! They are a God send!

Elizabeth and her paralegals handled both my divorce and my adoption for me. These events were going on simultaneously and Elizabeth’s guidance was exactly what I needed to make sure the process flowed smoothly. I would have been lost without her. She even told me the steps to take post-adoption to make sure all of my child’s affairs were in order. She is fair, reasonable and really cares about her clients!

Elizabeth helped me with my son’s adoption this past year. She is very passionate and cares for her clients. She’s also very professional and very knowledgeable. I was informed of everything throughout my entire case. Elizabeth and her team never once made me feel like they didn’t have time for me, they answered EVERY question I had. My case took longer than I personally wanted it too, but when I tell you every legal block was checked off, it was. And there’s no coming back from it. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elizabeth and her team for what ever it is, your needing.

Elizabeth Porter is the most honest lawyer I have ever met and I would bet ever meet again. Ethical, loving, kind, knowledgeable, available, and a great thinker. She never made me feel like I was bothering her when I had a lot of questions and never left me thinking my questions weren't warranted. I'm glad we had her in our corner.
