Adam M. Porter

Adam M. Porter is a Birmingham employment lawyer with more than 30 years of experience representing workers across central and northern Alabama. Porter handles discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour, and labor law matters. His practice includes claims involving race, age, gender, religion, pregnancy, disability, sexual harassment, unpaid overtime, FMLA rights, and whistleblower retaliation, with a focus on protecting employees under federal and state workplace laws.

Porter earned a J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1987 and a B.A. in English from the University of Alabama in 1984. His legal education preceded a career devoted to workplace rights and civil litigation. The combination of legal training and decades of practice supports detailed analysis of employment records, employer policies, communications, pay information, medical or leave documentation, and the statutory requirements that govern discrimination and retaliation claims.

Porter represents individuals in disputes arising from termination, discipline, workplace harassment, discriminatory treatment, compensation, overtime, disability accommodation, protected leave, and retaliation. These matters often depend on timelines, comparative evidence, internal complaints, policies, performance records, and the employer’s stated reasons for an action. He helps clients evaluate how those facts fit within employment statutes and administrative or court procedures and develops a strategy based on the available evidence.

Adam M. Porter is admitted in Alabama, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Alabama, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. His long focus on employee representation gives clients experience with both the substantive workplace laws and the procedural steps used to pursue employment claims, from early evaluation through litigation and appellate review when required.
