Horrible!!!!!! Horrible!!!! Horrible!!!!! My ex and I are divorced and we shared a property together in which I was glad to leave and give him in a divorce because I didn’t want him to know where I went since he was so abusive in the marriage. I’ve went through the courts and my divorce doesn’t even list my present address because I don’t want to be bothered or contacted by this man and this law firm basically exposed the information to him directly. They represent Camden park association who is sueing him for Assessments owed to them and when they couldn’t find him, they used their research to locate me, and even though I’m divorced and have nothing to do with that property, they located my new property and served me papers pertaining to that property because my name was still on it. IN returned, contacted them directly spoke with them emailed with them, letting them know that I was divorced, and had nothing to do with the property. I sent them a copy of my divorce papers months later, because they couldn’t get in touch with him. They continued to pursue me. legally, I had nothing to do with it. My attorney told me not to speak with them again that they had record in writing that they had been made aware of the fact that I was no longer at that property and had nothing to do with it I later get a letter the other day from that law firm telling me and my ex-husband, who they had his name listed with his property address and listed my name right next to his with my new property address, informing him of my whereabouts and when I called the law firm left a message with the receptionist because I scared, nervous and upset pertaining to this instead of them even offering an apology or trying to offer any assistance the woman that called me back was defensive and said so you’re calling to complain because we had to notify him and you but since you’re no longer on the law suit I can’t discuss details with you, I said I don’t want details I want to know why you couldn’t make him aware of this without giving him my address??? and she said she doesn’t have time for this, have a good day and she hung up on me…. Why would she be mad at me???? What did I do???? We live in a day and age where we have to do whatever necessary to keep ourselves safe and out of trouble, and this legal firm openly, threw me in front of domestic violence abusive narcissistic man who made my life horrible for no reason without even an apology, or concern Or offer any kind of assistance with what they had done so I intern after being hung up, I called back and left a message, letting them know that I will be talking to my attorney as well as the police about what I can do against their firm and getting some barriers of protection for what they did or what he might do going forward…. I feel so violated, scared, and open for whatever might come next but at least this firm won’t be affected by none of it!

I served as the secretary for the Harris Branch HOA when Chris Archambault was hired to mediate conflicts among board members and draft a Code of Ethics for our governing bylaws. The Code was intended to control the board’s professional behavior, with violations leading to removal. During the January meeting, Chris insisted that the entire board sign the contract, threatening to withdraw if this was not done. The initial meeting, lacking a quorum, included the VP, President, Property Manager, and Director of Goodwin and Company. In discussions with Chris, the President emphasized the need for an investigation into my harassment complaint against the Property Manager and his retaliatory complaint. Despite this, Goodwin Management failed to investigate, resulting in a "hostage" board environment where I faced harassment, slander, and bullying through emails and personal attacks by the board and Goodwin Management. Chris was tasked with investigating the December 8th incident between me and the Property Manager, involving harassment and insubordination. However, shortly after the January executive session, I resigned due to the hostile environment. During the meeting, Chris mistakenly called me by the wrong name multiple times, displayed rudeness, and made inappropriate jokes at my expense, which the board found amusing. These comments were both disrespectful and dismissive of my concerns. Additionally, Chris used offensive language during the recorded meeting, further demonstrating a lack of professionalism. The entire board failed to sign the Code of Ethics contract, yet Chris was instructed to remove me from the board, although I had already resigned. His alignment with the board’s power group and failure to conduct an unbiased investigation showed his bias. The VP posted a podcast slandering the President and me, with no action taken. Chris refused to address the community's concerns regarding these violations and allowed the VP to alter the bylaws to prevent restrictions on his social media activities. Chris breached his contract with Harris Branch HOA by failing to enforce the Code of Ethics and charging for legal fees related to an unenforceable document. He pursued legal actions against my complaints, despite a clear conflict of interest as he represented me as a board member. He also instructed the property manager to refer all my questions to him, including routine inquiries about community amenities, unnecessarily escalating the situation. I communicated my experience to Porter Law, highlighting Chris's unprofessional conduct, including his inappropriate language and failure to investigate harassment charges, which forced me to resign for my family’s and my own well-being. I would not recommend Porter Law Firm if this behavior is representative of their standards.

Not nice. Person I dealt with is rude. Usual law firm games. Vultures until I proved they didn't have a case.Tried to get me to keep calling them to drive up fees. Petty homeowners association cases.

I've been working with Shane Waddell for a year now on a bunch of property deals. He's been amazing at watching my back every single time. Quick to answer my calls and emails, Shane works hard to keep me protected. One thing I really appreciate about Shane is how he handles the curveballs. You know, those last-minute hassles that pop up when you're about to close a deal? Shane's the guy who steps in and makes sure I don't get the short end of the stick. In a nutshell, Shane is reliable, sharp, and genuinely looks out for his clients. Totally recommend him and the Porter Law Firm if you need a real estate lawyer who gets it and gets things done.

I just had a very bad experience with Mr Archambault. We asked for wiring instructions to pay off a small HOA lien. I was told to drive to the office. I reminded him that electronic payments are more efficient. He never answered and just increased the legal fees by $700 and mailed another notice. The code requires the second notice to be emailed and I pointed that out to him, he just ignored all communication. I have felt disrespected and mislead through the entire process with this law firm and Mr Archambault. I have dealt with many HOA and Real Estate law firm. This is by far the worst experience I have had.

Highly recommend for complex commercial real estate transactions. The team also delivered two victories for me in jury trials for commission recovery after contract breach. Easy to talk to and highly knowledgeable on broker issues, property matters of all types, contracts, and environmental. Aric R. Rodriguez Broker/Owner AR Commercial
