Jennifer Porter Email and Phone Number
I successfully built my litigation/legal practice over the past 25 years by providing my clients with something not many attorneys can bring to the table – experience working for the other side. I know the defense playbook because for years it was my playbook. I began my legal career as a defense attorney for auto insurance carriers, and in sum, I litigated personal injury cases as defense counsel for more than 8 years of my career, including years as staff counsel for Progressive Insurance. However, when I made the switch to doing meaningful work for the victim, I found my true passion fulfilled. Helping people with their legal problems is why I had gone to law school in the first place, and now I am able to truly help by not just litigating but also educating my clients on how to avoid the pitfalls and problems that can devastate an otherwise valid claim. I have successfully taken cases to trial while also resolving cases by settlement negotiations and mediations. In 2021, I decided to open Jennifer Porter Law, PLLC, in order to serve my clients with true, authentic care. My clients know that I am invested in their case and their story and that I work hard to get them the best results possible. My reviews at Avvo from previous clients tell a tale of empathy, experience and excellence. WHO AM I?🌟 80’s pop music fan (the MTV generation had the best music!)🌟 Book lover - my shelves are packed with fiction and non-fiction🌟 Family chef 🌟 US Navy spouse (wife to a sailor!)🌟 Mom to 3 girls🌟 Passionate advocate for my clients and my communityWHAT PROBLEMS DO I HELP SOLVE?I help my clients understand the process, regain a sense of control, and have peace of mind about their claim or matter.

All of my workload was active litigation, and I tried cases every month in the Courts of Northern Virginia. I had the advantage of honing my trial skills and was equally comfortable presenting my case in front of Judge or jury, while also being integral to the insurance company's assessment and strategy of handling claims.
