Maryellen has been amazingly helpful to my brother and I in trying to navigate confusing and urgent legal matters for my aging mom. We suddenly needed to get power of attorney done and Maryellen was able to give us an appointment on very short notice. We went from knowing we needed to get this document done but totally clueless as to how to make that happen to it was done and notarized within four days.
I am extremely impressed with how kind and helpful Maryellen is at such a difficult time for our family.

Working with Joe Lewis and his team was truly an excellent experience. Joe was very caring, kind, but also direct and set clear expectations for all the eventualities in my divorce case. He guided me through a settlement that allowed my family to avoid a trial. Had we gone to a trial, I have zero doubt our results would have been amazing. I highly recommend Joe and his team if you're looking for the best navigation through your worst possible days!

I highly recommend Mary Ellen Sullivan as an estate lawyer. She handled the legal issues involved in my husband's estate with knowledge, skill, and professionalism. She was always willing to answer my questions and provided expert legal advice. Mary Ellen was also a strong advocate for me with the issues that required negotiation with my husband's family and legal counsel. She remained objective and respected my decisions throughout the long process of settling his estate. I appreciated her perspective and sense of humor which made a difficult time easier.

Port City Legal seemed understanding at first and I enjoyed my direct communications with Joe. Over the next 8 months I received invoices for a few and then a no contact. There was zero follow up from email and phone calls for simple items and an ongoing eight month email chain where Joe, Erin, or the billing side refused to follow up. Currently seeking another lawyer to get the retainer back or at least tied up in a legal situation such that Port City does not have those funds available due to abandonment of their client.

I had the very best experience with Port City Legal. I have a complex family law case, which also includes meeting with a lot of attorneys over the years.
Attorney Lewis treated me and my case with the utmost professionalism, expertise, integrity, and compassion. He was always easy to communicate with, and very transparent. I was cared for, advocated for, and supported throughout my entire experience by the whole firm. Joe is a razor sharp skilled attorney who will fiercely advocate for what is right, striking a balance with exceptional legal strategy, and always place my child at the forefront of all decisions. Joe makes this look easy. However, there are so many times where there are paradoxes in the family law legal system, that make a singular focus almost impossible. With Joe, there are always possibilities and a pathway forward that keeps the integrity of the childs best interest at heart. He makes this into an art form.
Erin and Taylor were absolutely amazing to me. Whenever I communicated with them, I felt supported with such warmth.
They both knew my case, and are so efficient, professional, and willing to go above and beyond. During my two day trial, both Erin and Taylor were so incredibly supportive. They showed up for me in ways that exceed all expectations. I felt so nervous preparing and attending trial, and I felt like they were holding my hand throughout it all.
I am forever grateful for Attorney Lewis accepting my case. Due to the legal challenges, and complexity of my case the end result took over two years to accomplish. Attorney Lewis and his team stayed dedicated, and determined to a favorable outcome. The striking difference between Port City Legal, and all of the other firms that I have encountered, is that Attorney Lewis and his team believed in me. There were times in my case, when I thought that I should give up. They were always there to comfort, support, and motivate me. This team helped me to keep my hope alive, when I needed it most. This kind of kindness is extremely rare in family law. It is easy to become jaded to the system, for both professionals and parents. Joe and his team rise above the challenges, and always forged a path forward.
I give my highest recommendation to this firm. My outcome was beyond my wildest dreams. The team is so dedicated, and truly committed to the best interest of the family. Throughout the stress and tears of seemingly endless setbacks, Attorney Lewis would find a way to bring laughter and a smile to my face, and help me to shift my perspective. I am a better person for knowing and working with Joe and his team.
Thank you so very much for your dedication, hard work, and heart that you gave my case. I cannot thank you enough.
All the best,
