Jennifer Porter

Jennifer Porter is an attorney with Attum Law Office in Louisville, where her practice includes immigration, criminal defense, and family law. She assists clients with immigration matters such as family petitions, visas, permanent residence, citizenship, asylum, deportation concerns, and issues involving criminal allegations. Her criminal practice draws on substantial courtroom experience, while her family law work addresses domestic disputes. She brings a litigation background to matters where legal status, liberty, or family interests are at stake.

Porter earned a J.D. from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law in 2012. Her legal education prepared her for courtroom advocacy, legal research, and the analysis of statutes and procedural rules. After law school, she developed practical experience in criminal litigation and public defense. That background supports her current work across immigration, criminal, and family matters, particularly when a client’s circumstances involve overlapping court proceedings or consequences in more than one area of law.

Porter began her legal career with the Louisville Metro Public Defender’s Office, where she represented people accused of crimes and gained extensive trial experience. Her firm profile reports acquittals in matters ranging from misdemeanors to serious felony cases, including a capital murder case. She now uses that courtroom experience when defending criminal charges and when advising immigration clients whose legal status can be affected by criminal proceedings, enforcement actions, or related court records.

Jennifer Porter combines more than a decade of courtroom experience with a practice that addresses immigration, criminal defense, and family law concerns. Her background as a public defender gives her direct experience with contested hearings, trial preparation, evidence, and client counseling under significant pressure. She helps clients understand legal procedures, evaluate available options, and prepare for proceedings that can affect residence, family relationships, freedom, and other important personal rights.
