Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Christine Airey of Portner & Shure, PA was professional, responsive, and provided excellent service throughout my entire settlement process. Not only did she handle all communications and paperwork, but she did everything in her power to provide me with a settlement that I deserved. 10/10 recommend!

Family was represented by them for a situation in childhood, but quality has decreased since then. Initiated a PI case back in February, paralegal had been "working from home" and not only did not respond to emails but kept lying to Front Office staff about callbacks. Submitted intake, signed all paperwork, and waited around like an idiot since March.
It took me to today to speak with a helpful front office staff who notified me that they're not moving forward with the case - wasting two months of my life - delaying my case, multiple emails, and near weekly phone calls.
Highly

This firm has represented me over several years. I recently had a major issue with a Workman's Comp claim had 2 surgeries altogether on my shoulder. Although it was a very confusing case Diane Lazo & Jonathan Portner stood by me and resolved every issue in my favor. I was kept up to date and informed of every action taken. I can't thank them enough. They are an excellent law firm and have outstanding staff. You cannot go wrong using their service.

I do not recommend based on my experience. Very difficult to get responses to calls, emails or texts. I ended up helping with the bills because after months they were sending requests incorrectly to the medical facility. I do not feel the lawyer worked at all to get me the best settlement and am convinced I could have done better on my own. I did not even get enough to cover the medical bills. When questioned, Portner gets aggressively defensive. I see other reviews matching my experience and wish I had read them sooner. I suggest you go elsewhere. Don't assume I pushed for a quick settlement

I am not a current client at Portner and Shure, however I did call in and inquire about a work accident I had in 2014. I had an attorney who dropped the ball and I had to let them go. I called many attorneys office and no one would help me. Finally I got in contact with Diane at Portner and Shure. Although she was unable to take my case due to statue of limitations issue, she spent 30 mins on the phone with me explaining the process, giving me advice and being so genuinely caring. It’s heartwarming to know that there are people like Diane. I would recommend this company over and over again.

I was thrilled when my paralegal called me about the final deal! My accident was back in August and after a while working with my first attorney I was very disappointed for what she could offer. I found Portner and shure online and called them immediately. I'm so glad I did! They can't be beat. I recommend mr Portner to anyone who's struggling with a car accident case.

I was in 2 car accidents back to back, as a single mother I was so stressed out but they took care of my daughter and I from beginning to end. There was nothing for me to do but manage my life, when they need anything they call you and are empathetic professionals. They got me as a client for life. I appreciate everything they did for us!!
