Attorneys in Jacksonville

With Approximately 100 Years of Combined Experience

At Problems? Pick Porter!™, our lawyers have approximately 100 years of combined experience to bring to your case.

Our Jacksonville law firm delivers excellent service that has garnered legal awards and top ratings from clients and peers alike. We are well-prepared to handle all types of legal matters, including:

Criminal Defense

The constitutional rights afforded to a criminal defendant are a vital aspect of the criminal justice system of the United States. Persons accused of committing a crime are at a significant risk of suffering from governmental oppression. That is why we are dedicated to defending your rights in matters involving criminal charges. From domestic violence to violent crimes, we will zealously advocate for the preservation of your due process rights.

DUI Defense

Under Florida law, a person is guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol if they were operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08%. The consequences of a DUI conviction depend on the specifics of your case, including expensive fines, and months of jail time, probation, or community services. The severity of the penalties drastically increases in cases with minor passengers, a higher BAC, and whether a person died or was seriously injured as a result. Due to the high stakes involved—and the potential for prejudice—our legal team strives to ensure those charged with a DUI get a fair trial.

Divorce

Florida family law provides comprehensive rules for the legal regulation of domestic relations within the state, including the dissolution of marriage—known commonly as divorce. In addition to addressing concerning spousal support and the equitable distribution of marital property, a divorce may involve other family law matters such as the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time—formerly known as child custody and visitation. Our dedicated legal team can help guide you through legal disputes arising from your divorce case in order to help protect the legal rights and interests of you and your children.

Family Law

In addition to divorce cases, at Problems? Pick Porter!™ has experience with other legal matters concerning Florida family law. Our legal services include the negotiation and litigation of issues associated with fathers’ rights and requesting court approval for relocation, due to opportunities regarding a parent’s employment, the child’s education, or family health concerns. You can count on our attorneys to tirelessly strive to preserve your legal rights in legal disputes involving Florida family law.

Personal injury

If you have been injured due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of another person, you may be entitled to receive legal compensation for such injuries. At , we have handled cases involving traffic collisions, dog attacks, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and injuries resulting from dangerous defects on private property.

Whether you need to defend your rights after an arrest, are looking for skilled family law representation, or need to pursue fair compensation following an accident or injury, you can face your legal matter with confidence if you choose to join forces with our team.

Our lawyers in Jacksonville would be more than happy to speak with you about your case and advise you on your next course of action. Don’t wait to get a skilled team of attorneys on your side.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

Serving Jacksonville, FL Since 2004

    "Thankful to this firm for their hard work and dedication!"

    I unfortunately experienced a terrible accident and was hurt. I reached out to Jason Porter’s law firm, as he has helped my father in the past and is a trusted attorney in my family.

    Unfortunately, the process had a slow start due to many moving pieces. Hildy stepped in and things got moving IMMEDIATELY! She is amazing. So sweet, so understanding, so educated and intelligent regarding her position. Because of her, I felt assured and heard.

    Thankful to this firm for their hard work and dedication!

    - M.D.
    "The best attorneys you will find. I love you guys!"
    Two very scary DUI cases in my life. The first involved a wreck, the second with a very high BAC. Jason Porter and Gary Shumard, you are both so very amazing and you have saved me so much havoc on these cases. Reduced to reckless on the first, and on the second, saved me from having the interlock system order in my car, another 10 days of immobilization, and more jail time. From the beginning, these two kept my anxieties calm through this process and the outcomes took all that load off. If you are financially strapped, trust me, they will work with you on that too. Sincerely.

    "Forever Grateful"
    I have to go into detail here because there’s no way That I cannot give high praise for what Nicole Carlucci did for my daughter and I. I’ve learned the hardest way possible that men tend to be at a great disadvantage when dealing with a divorce and with custody problems. My ex-wife kidnapped our child and had every intention of destroying our bond and the great relationship we have. It’s the saddest thing in the world how some people take their own struggles and personal feelings out by using their children as pawns and manipulating to hurt others. Which is why I could not be happier and more grateful for the day I walked into Porter & Porter Law Firm. From day one, my story was heard, understood, and through a year and a half of what felt like full on war just so I could maintain my relationship with me daughter without us being ripped from each other’s lives, Nicole Carlucci supported me and used her expertise to get as close to the absolute best result possible. She never gave up or gave in and that helped me to stay strong, too, when there would be days or weeks my daughter and I would not see each other. If not for Nicole, I can only imagine how much more awful such a nightmare of a situation could have gotten. However, I am now divorced, continue to have an amazing relationship with my daughter, and have court orders to hold my ex responsible and accountable so that way certain things will hopefully never happen again, and if they do, I know who I am calling!! Nicole’s passion to help someone being taking advantage of and her drive to ensure justice be served when someone is manipulating the system is exactly what my daughter and I needed so we can live a happy life. Thank you Nicole and Firm!!

    "Aggressive and Compassionate. Highly Recommend."
    I'd been accused of something I did not do. My situation was a total nightmare. I consulted with Attorney Porter and he assured me that my tough situation could be handled. Attorney Gary Shumar tirelessly worked my case, while showing patience and empathy when I felt frustrated. Needless to say, my charges were dropped. I highly recommend this firm.

    "He prepared our family through each and every step."

    "Bad things happen to good families and people” That is one of the first things Jason said to me and my son. The laws are set to protect us. However, the law can be black and white when there are several shades of grey. If a man has a beer in his own house after coming back from war but is only 20, should his dad be charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Have you ever done something now looking back, it may not have been the best decision but nothing happened? That was not the case a few years ago to my family. A bad decision, one I am sure many of us have done in our younger days. A bad decision was made and it could have ruined a young man’s future. The courts are busy and things can fall through the cracks; I was making sure my son was not one of them. I knew Jason had worked for the District attorney’s office so he knew both sides of the law. He knew what the other side was going to do and say because he was there for many years. He prepared our family through each and every step. He made sure that we were proactive “getting ducks in a row” so to speak. If there was something mentioned, we had already taken care of it and showed no history and really no where for the other side to go. What could have been jail time ended up being a bump in the road. No one can promise anything is a sure thing. Jason did not make any promises he was not prepared to keep. He told us what normally happens, and what he was going to try for and he did. I rather have someone say there is a 70/30 chance than, “sure this is no problem, don’t worry about it”. We do worry about it. It is our lives or one of someone we love. Some cases may not be life or death, but they all are between a life that could be and a life that never will be. Jason understands that and approached it as if was his brother standing next to him. Every now and then, I will look at my son when eating dinner or something and think, if it was not for Jason and his group, I would have to visit my son to see him. I thanked God for Jason being there then, and have every day since.

    "Thanks for everything!"
    I had contacted Mr. Porter’s office after being in a car accident and having no success on my own with the insurance adjusters. Mr. Porter and his entire staff were all very engaged, expedient and supportive while working on my case. Any questions that I had, I could make a phone call and Hildy or Dani would be on the other end making things make sense to me. Ultimately, they delivered a great outcome that I was happy with. It was a huge weight off my shoulders to have the knowledge and support of Mr. Porter and his staff while navigating through the stress of everything that must be handled after a car accident. In the unfortunate event that I find myself in another similar situation, I won’t hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call back! Thanks for everything!

    "They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient."
    Just wanted to say thank you to Attorney Carlucci and paralegal Ms. Rasulova. They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient. Hopefully I will not need an Attorney in the future, BUT if I do it will be Pick Porter.
