Liz Porter

Overview

Liz Porter has more than 20 years of experience representing clients in high-net-worth divorces, complex property divisions involving significant business and financial interests, pre- and post-marital agreements, and other family law matters, including collaborative law. She is board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is the managing shareholder of the Dallas office of KoonsFuller, P.C., which is one of the Southwest’s largest law firms handling exclusively family law cases. 

Liz has earned selection to the list of Texas Super Lawyers since 2014 and received recognition as a Texas Rising Star from 2008-2011. She has been named a “Best Lawyer” by D Magazine in 2019, 2020 and 2024 and also recognized to The Best Lawyers in America list since 2015.  Most recently, Liz was named a Top Lawyer by Living Well Magazine.

“She isn’t just a Dallas divorce attorney, I always introduce Liz as our child custody expert,” says Ike Vanden Eykel, a managing partner at KoonsFuller, P.C. “She is a powerhouse when it comes to a wide range of family law matters, but her success when it comes to resolving parent-child issues, both in and out of the courtroom, is where she makes her mark.” Liz is known and respected across the state for her expertise in managing high-conflict custody disputes, family violence, child support enforcement actions, modifications of previous orders, grandparent rights, termination and paternity issues.

Liz handles all types and sizes of family law cases and is a strong advocate for mediation. However, she has a great deal of experience in the courtroom when settlement is no longer an option. “It is my commitment to every client I represent to provide them with the highest quality, and personalized legal representation through sincere compassion for their individual circumstances, yet passionately advocate for their goals. I realize decisions made today can and will have long and lasting effects not only on their future but that of their family as well.  This is why it is so important to have the best lawyer and team with you throughout the process.”

Liz is a member of the family law sections of the American Bar Association, State Bar of Texas and the Dallas Bar Association. She is also a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists.  Liz also is trained and practices Collaborative Law and is a member of the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas.
