About E. J. Porter & Associates

E. J. Porter & Associates, known as Porter Law, is a multi-practice law firm founded in 1998 by Elizabeth Porter, who was called to the Bar on February 8, 1998. The practice started out of the basement of a friend's house with a single computer, printer and telephone, then moved several times before settling into a permanent office at the Great Building in Ohsweken in 2005. Ohsweken is part of the Six Nations of the Grand River, which its own government describes as the most populous First Nation in Canada.

Porter Law handles family law, including custody, divorce, child protection, support and property division, criminal defence for indictable, summary and hybrid offences, residential real estate closings, and wills, powers of attorney, estate probate and litigation. The firm operates from its head office at the Great Building in Ohsweken, with satellite offices in Brantford and in Binbrook, a community within the city of Hamilton. The firm describes its approach around three values, passion, experience and diligence, and says it aims to build relationships that give clients trust and confidence in their representation.
