Experienced Legal Representation For Plaintiffs
My firm, the Law Firm of Michael S. Porter LLC, is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and represents individuals throughout Colorado and nationwide.
I have been a trial lawyer for 42 years and have spent hundreds of hours litigating in state and federal courts and negotiating resolution of my clients’ cases. I have worked on numerous cases where millions of dollars were at stake and millions of dollars were recovered. Earlier in my career, part of my practice involved defending insurance related claims. My practice also involved representing plaintiffs who had been injured. Over 32 years ago I decided that I would no longer represent the interests of insurance companies and have since worked exclusively representing the interests of individuals.
Every client is unique, and every case brings new legal issues and a new set of facts. I am proud to say that I work closely with my clients to understand their situation and I work to achieve the best result possible. Because of my years of practice, I am able to draw on my vast experience to provide my clients with the highest quality legal representation.

False Claims Act experience
Over 24 years ago, I became involved in my first False Claims Act (FCA) case and successfully settled that case for $6 million and obtained a relator share for my client of approximately $1.26 million. Since 2000 I have represented numerous individuals who have pursued FCA cases. My clients and I have achieved some tremendous FCA settlements and judgments, including the Bobby Maxwell case in which we defied an allegedly corrupt federal agency and recovered a $26 Million settlement after a successful jury trial. In 2016 we recovered an $18 Million settlement against a United Healthcare subsidiary, Evercare Hospice, because of the Medicare fraud it had allegedly committed. I have provided a list of some of the more notable FCA cases I have resolved. Click here to read about some of these cases.
You are reading this page because you are in a quest to find the best attorney to pursue your FCA claim. One of the questions you should be asking any prospective attorney is what actual experience and success they have had in pursuing an FCA claim. Another question is whether the attorney is a trial attorney who has actually litigated an FCA case. You will find that most attorneys claiming to be qualified to pursue a FCA case have had little success and have never tried an FCA claim to a jury.
Within the State of Colorado you will not find another attorney who has had my level of success with FCA cases or who has my experience in actually trying FCA or fraud cases to a jury or court.
In addition, over the course of the 24 years I have been litigating FCA cases, I have developed a positive and strong working relationship with the Colorado United States Attorney’s office. Most of the AUSAs in that office, who work on FCA cases, are familiar with me and understand that when I file a case it has been thoroughly vetted and they can look forward to a positive working relationship with me.
