Compassionate advocates for life’s imperfect journey

“I’m a criminal defense lawyer with 45 years of experience, so when it came to my own difficult, complicated divorce, I knew I needed
the best lawyer possible…
During a court zoom hearing, I watched and listened to Cynthia First representing another petitioner. It took me five minutes to make
the decision to see if she would represent me. I know lawyers and the quality of what they do, having worked with or opposite as many
as 400 of them.

Superlative representation. Class act. Terrific people. Terrific lawyers.”

“Darren and Miranda are the best. They were kind, professional, and most of all patient during a difficult and confusing time. I will always be thankful of the time and care they put it to get the best outcome for my daughter and I. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend to anyone going through this. Also want to thank all of Port Gardner Law Group. EVERYONE was kind and made me feel welcome and safe.”

“Cynthia First, Julie Caputo and Matthew Jankovic are all excellent Family Law attorneys, and their paralegals are amazing too. This team has seen it all and are licensed in multiple states and have dealt with international situations. Their staff is efficient, kind and personable. They think strategically, are utmost professionals and are very ethical, even when opposing counsel is not, and we appreciate their candor yet sensitive approach. We’ll be going on year 7 with them due to ongoing parenting plan and custody issues and each team has been on point.”

When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn’t even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests’ in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.

“I contacted Port Gardner Law Group on July 27, 2023. Everyone at their law firm was friendly, professional, and proficient. I had a consultation with Mr. DeFrance who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the legalities of my situation. He offered exceptional advise and made me feel at ease during our consultation. I would highly recommend Port Gardner Law Group and will use them again if the need should arise.”

“Matthew Jankovic has taken over our case and has been an exceptional attorney on behalf of my boyfriend. He will surely have an excellent career as a lawyer. We lucked out big time! Love seeing him in action.

My boyfriend is going through a divorce. But not just your average, stressful divorce. He’s been hit with false allegations, CPS reports and legitimately everything in between you can think of. We are still going through the process, but I can definitely say that Port Gardner Law Group’s Brian Parker, is an extremely knowledgeable, savvy, hard-working and dependable attorney. I am so appreciative of he and his teams hard work and relentless commitment in representing us. If you are looking to find a lawyer that knows the law, will fight for you, and is dependable, Brian Parker is your guy. If I could give 10 stars, I would. He has exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Brian, Mindy, Samantha and Port Gardner for being nothing shy of the absolute best in what you do!!”

Julie is a true, down to earth person that truly cares about her clients. At our first meeting she gave me some good resources to help co-parenting with my ex. This showed me that she not only cares about me but cared about out my kids too. I appreciated her kindness and strength during this awful process. Thank you Julie

Family Law – Relocation out of state with child

I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
