Porter Dispute Resolution

We offer expert, evaluative, and empathetic mediation services, including labor and employment, general commercial disputes, construction litigation, personal injury and property damage, bankruptcy, and intellectual property matters. Attorney Porter has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in those matters, so he understands the particular concerns that each side of the dispute bring to the negotiating table. Sometimes negotiations can be dispassionate, and really come down to a business decision over the value of settlement versus going forward. Other times, it can be highly emotional, particularly in employment and personal injury cases, and it is essential to address those subjective feelings. Each case is different, and requires a slightly different approach, depending on the particular concerns of the parties. Attorney Porter is also extremely familiar with the insurance component of litigation, having dealt with dozens of carriers and hundreds of adjusters, so he understands the complexities of dealing with stakeholders whose interests might be very different from the parties themselves, and can typically find ways to resolve matters in a way that meet the needs of all stakeholders. Because of the depth and breadth of his experience, Attorney Porter can be highly evaluative in his analysis of the case. He helps parties properly value their potential exposure, in terms of liability and damages. He also provides a careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of their claims and defenses.
