One-of-a-kind lawyerThere are not enough words to express my gratitude for the legal service and support I received from Portela Law Firm. To me and my kids, Mr. Portela was a Godsend in a time when I, literally, found myself in the valley of death, darkness, and deception. I was set up by my ex-wife and mother of my two children and I landed in jail with 3 felony charges but God guided me to this law firm and, thanks to God and Manuel Portela, the truth prevailed in the court of law. The felony charges were reduced to misconduct. Now, I am a free man fighting for custody of my children. Mr. Portela is a one-of-a-kind lawyer and very affordable. If you cannot afford this law firm then you cannot afford any lawyer or law firm. Manuel, I love you, and thanks a million, again, for everything you did for me and my kids.

El abogado es bien amable y estaba siempre disponible cuando teniamos cualquier pregunta.Yo recomiendo al abogado Manuel Portela para cualquier caso familiar. El represento a mi suegro en un caso que estaba perdido desde el principio ya que en los ojos de la jueza el era cumpable. Pero el abogado Portela trabajo sin parar para probar que mi suegro era inocente y lo libero de una injusticia. El abogado es bien amable y estaba siempre disponible cuando teniamos cualquier pregunta.

Thank you very much Pórtela, you are the best!Before Manuel Portela was in charge of my criminal case, I was very worried since I didn't know if I was going to go to jail. But since Portela took the case, he gave me the security I needed. Also 4 courts later he dismissed the case completely. Today I have no criminal record thanks to this beautiful firm. Pórtela and all the staff demonstrated the professionalism and experience that each one has, in this case in the Criminal area. Thank you very much Pórtela, you are the best!

I owe a huge thank you to Mr. Portela and his staff for their continuous support in helping to win both my criminal case and custody caseI owe a huge thank you to Mr. Portela and his staff for their continuous support in helping to win both my criminal case and custody case. A year ago, I was facing criminal charges, possibly losing my job, and possibly losing my professional license. And, at the same time, I was dealing with a bitter custody battle. I fought very hard to have my story heard. Mr. Portela told me, I hear you and your in good hands. Mr. Portela advocated for myself and my son, and for that I'm extremely grateful. He was able to win both of my cases in just one court appearance. As a result, saving time, money, and aggravation from dealing with this headache. I'm now able to finally take a deep sigh of relief and start putting my life back to together all because of Mr. Portela and his staff.
Thank you again Mr. Portela for all of your help and support.- Krystle

The result of my case was absolutely everything I could ask for and more .
I found Mr. Portela’s law firm on google. I had a criminal case for “theft of services” that I was unfairly charged for. The attorney assigned to my case was Ms. Deborah Schwartz and she did a terrific job! The staff was absolutely amazing! Amber Lise and Rubin were very attentive to my inquiries. The result of my case was absolutely everything I could ask for and more and I could not be any more thankful for their services. I would highly recommend the Portela law firm to anyone who is in need of a GOOD and RELIABLE attorney.

I am very grateful of Mr. Portela and his teams without him I won’t be able to continue my education and to reunite with my family and because of him, I have a clean criminal record.
I was looking for an attorney on the internet and I found Mr. Portela. Once I found it. I immediately gave him a phone call that day. One of his representatives picked the phone up and I told that I was looking for a defense attorney that I could defense me on my next hear date because I was looking for a very experienced attorney. Otherwise, I would be looked for several years. In addition, my life would also be ruining. During the date of the hearing Mr. Portella and I showed up to the court and he didn’t what he had to do which was to convince the judge. Minutes later, he got out to the courtroom and he told me that I have news for you Barry. I responded politely what is it. He told me that my case was dismissed. I am very grateful of Mr. Portela and his teams without him I won’t be able to continue my education and to reunite with my family and because of him, I have a clean criminal record. Thank-You very so much Mr. Portela and his law firm. I recommend anyone who has been wrongfully accused of a crime by any police officer to come to see Mr. Portela and his Firm.

He was always on time and straights to the point he tells you what's going on and is always positive even when things looked very bad.I have never ever written a review on anything before but my lawyer Manuel Portela did an excellent job on my case, I just had to share with everyone. Mr. Portela was very professional in and out of the courtroom. He was always on time and straights to the point he tells you what's going on and is always positive even when things looked very bad. I was wrongfully accused of a crime I didn't do and was in jail for a week already with a 50 thousand dollar bail before my family reached out to Mr Portela. He immediately began working on my release a week later my bail was lifted and I was released. When we returned to court my case was dismissed I was so happy and relieved I wouldn't ever want no one to be in my shoes but if you happen to find your self in a sticky situation like mine Mr. Portela is who you want working your case thanks, Mr. Portela.

He is a reputable, extremely professional, exceptionally knowledgeable and very attentive attorney.
In response to the person based in Yonkers, NY who posted anonymously with the header “NO STARS IF I COULD.” I am based in Yonkers, NY and hired Mr. Portela who is currently representing my son in law in Yonker’s court. My son in law’s court hearing was scheduled for January 4th, 2017. I am aware and have confirmed with Mr. Portela that my son in law’s case is the ONLY case that he is working on out of Yonkers court at the present time. Most of his current cases are based out of NYC courts. Mr. Portela has ALWAYS appeared to the court hearings. He is a reputable, extremely professional, exceptionally knowledgeable and very attentive attorney. On JANUARY 4, 2018 Governor Cuomo Declared a State of Emergency Across New York City, Long Island and Westchester County. Due to the snowstorm. Yonkers ended up getting 10 inches of snow. Thereby, the January 4th hearing was rescheduled by the court. It is astonishing to me that someone would actually take the time to ANONYMOUSLY write such a false, disparaging and hateful review. I can attest firsthand, that the review is completely false. My only conclusion is that either the review was intended for another attorney. Due to the fact that I am the ONLY person who hired Mr. Portela out of Yonkers, NY or it may have been erroneously written in Mr. Portela’s page.

Your insight, perseverance, and guidance towards Dario's case was truly remarkable.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the outstanding work you and your staff did for my son, Dario Matos. Words cannot give my appreciation justice. You in combination with your staff, down to and including Bruni, were superbly efficient, professional and compassionate. Mr. Asaf's dedication and hard work were unremarkable. He was focused, driven and sensitive to our needs at all times. Bruni's patience, warmness, and empathy gave me and my family the security and confidence that we were lacking in a time of much need. Your insight, perseverance, and guidance towards Dario's case was truly remarkable.
It goes without saying that I will always refer to your firm if the need ever arises.
Once again my heartfelt thanks.

I highly recommend this firm, you will be very satisfied with firm's representationLast fall and winter I worked at Portela Law Firm and was able to gain an inside look at the firm's practice. Its a full-service law firm that provides superb representation to its clients and has gained an excellent reputation in the community. Its staffed with experienced attorneys who are experts at their trade. While at the firm, I had an opportunity to accompany firm's attorney's to proceedings ranging from arraignments to sentencing, and walked away very impressed with the dedication and compassion that the firm treats its clients, support staff, and interns. I left with increased confidence in my abilities to practice law and proud of the profession. I highly recommend this firm, you will be very satisfied with firm's representation.

l. Mr. Portela isn't merely a good lawyer, he's a stand up guy. The support staff at the firm isn't just competent, they're extraordinary.I had a great experience with the Portela Law Firm as an Intern a couple of summers back. Mr. Portela let me assist with all aspects of Litigation nearly every morning in just about every state and Federal court in this town. The procedural knowledge that I picked up here complimented by intellectual background and knowledge as a College Student. After finishing up, I landed a Government job as a Paralegal for the City. another as a RICO Unit Paralegal with good pay at an off Wall Street Medical Malpractice firm, and gained acceptance to several law schools, and scholarship offers at a few. I'm set to start this fall. Mr. Portela isn't merely a good lawyer, he's a stand up guy. The support staff at the firm isn't just competent, they're extraordinary. After two years in the legal industry post graduation, this is by far the best work environment I have had the privilege to be a part of. For clients especially, the individual care and attention the Firm devotes to every one of its clients seems, to me, the embodiment of zealous representation. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I very satisfied with the service I received from The Portela Law FirmI received a notice from my Landlord that I was to go to court for back rent owed and late fees. I immediately contacted The Portela Law Firm and scheduled a consultation. Mr. Portela answer al my questions with clarity and reassurance that he was going to fight for my case and negotiate the best outcome in my case. Well, it goes without saying that he was true to his word. Him and his team started working right away on my case, talking with the Landlord and negotiating with the Landlord Attorneys. We resolved everything in only one court appearance. I was able to keep my business running and the Landlord was pleased with the terms we agreed to. I very satisfied with the service I received from The Portela Law Firm.

Most important of all is the outstanding results achieved by his tactics.Mr. Portela is focused not only on the legal aspect of a case but is also sensitive to the special circumstances his clients find themselves. He is careful not to impose excessive and negative stress, and at the same time, in a delicate way makes all the necessary inquiries and gathers all the useful information that can be used in the case, Mr. Portela is also a good listener and does not miss the slightest remark that can be used, developed, and later incorporated into the general defense strategy. Most important of all is the outstanding results achieved by his tactics.

They are highly responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeableWe are extremely pleased with Mr. Portela and his team of attorneys. They are highly responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. We hired Mr. Portela based on his 20 years of experience. He has pretty much seen and handled all types of cases. Before accepting my case, I asked how confident he was in regards to a forfeiture case. He said that he was "very confident". Mr. Portela did not disappoint. He worked meticulously on the case and produced very favorable results. It could not have gone better.

Manuel Portela did an excellent job on my caseI have never ever written a review on any thing before but my lawyer Manuel Portela did an excellent job on my case, I just had to share with very one. Mr Portela was very professional in and out the court room. He was always on time and straights to the point he tells you what's going on and is always positive even when things looked very bad. I was wrongfully accused of a crime I didn't do and was in jail for a week already with a 50 thousand dollar bail before my family reached out to Mr Portela. He immediately began working on my release a week later my bail was lifted and I was released. When we returned to court my case was dismissed I was so happy and relieved I wouldn't ever want no one to be in my shoes but if you happen to find your self in a sticky situation like mine Mr Portela is who you want working your case thanks Mr Portela your client JQ

Mr. Portela came to our rescue. I am very pleased with his services.A Brooklyn Landlord refused to renew a rent-stabilized tenant's lease based on the Landlord's allegation that the Tenant, a resident of 37 years, and her daughter were not occupying the subject premises as their primary residence. After trial the court dismissed the Landlord's case with prejudice and concluded that the Petitioner did not meet his burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence that the Tenant failed to maintain a physical nexus at the subject residence that was ongoing and substantial. "I am thrilled and excited with the court's decision to dismiss my Landlord's suit. Mr. Portela came to our rescue. I am very pleased with his services, and I don't think anyone else would have provided better representation. Thank you.

Little or no prospect of winning, the Portela Law Firm undertook to represent meWhen others turned down me down as a case with little or no prospect of winning, the Portela Law Firm undertook to represent me winning the case for me. Can I say more? I now delegate whatever matters I have to them even if I could do it unrepresented as sometimes doing it without a lawyer is false economy."
