After practicing law for 10 years, Andrea Bosquez-Porter started her own firm in 2020. Her goal was to open a practice that focused on compassion and service. She is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist (2015 - present), making her one of the 1.1% of lawyers in North Carolina who has achieved this certification.

If it feels like your world is falling apart, Andrea can be trusted to protect the best interests of you and your family. Her experience working with victims of domestic violence informs how she works with her clients. As a mother of two herself, she understands how families can be impacted during the challenging situations that require her involvement. That’s why she became a certified Family Financial Settlement Mediator, as well as a certified Parenting Coordinator. It is important to her that she is able to give her clients the highest quality legal services possible, in English or Spanish. This includes educating her peers -- Andrea frequently speaks at conferences and teaches continuing legal education courses on a range of family law topics for both attorneys and paralegals. She wants you to be able to rest knowing that she will do whatever it takes to move forward and keep your family safe. You deserve to resolve your situation, once and for all.

In addition to her legal practice, Andrea is actively involved in her community. A resident of Raleigh since 2010, Andrea makes it a priority to give back to the people around her. She has consistently volunteered for the North Carolina Bar Association 4All Service Day, even serving as a Site Coordinator. She has served on the Tenth Judicial District Grievance Committee, as well as the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Court Custody Mediation Advisory Committee (2014 – present).

You don’t need to wait for a court date to get the legal services you deserve. Andrea is prepared to help you navigate the complexities of family law and the court system. Call our office at 919-834-3699 or email [email protected] to schedule a consultation.
