    Mike was extremely thorough in managing my case. Very understanding of my extremely traumatic injuries making it easy for me to talk to him as we went thru the process of putting a case together to go to court. I feel he went above and beyond which ended in the best results. My injuries will not get any better but thanks to Mike and others my life will be better due to the settlement which was more than I could have ever hoped. Many thanks to Attorney Michael Porter.

    Porter Nordby Howe LLP 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.

    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. Mikes 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.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
