Johnston Porter Law Office, P.C. (JP Law, PC) also represents people living with disabilities in all U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit states, including Arizona, Montana, Hawaii and Alaska. If your claim was denied, we will guide you and fight for you through the claims, hearings and appeals process.
The JP Law Difference:
Our experienced attorneys, are appreciated by clients, respected by judges and known for positive results. What is the key to our motivation and our success?
We are dedicated to the practice of disability law and complimentary practice areas. We don't "dabble" in Social Security Disability. We know the law forward and backward.
We've known these issues in our own lives. From personal disabilities, to watching family members cope with disabilities, our lawyers are sensitive to what clients are going through.
We treat you like family. We spend time with clients to gain their trust and understand their challenges so we can help them tell their story.
We prepare you. A hearing before a judge scares people. Our lawyers coach you on the likely questions. We will be there to support you and speak up for you.
We represent you effectively. We provide knowledgeable, detail-oriented and fierce advocacy to our clients, and we handle our own appeals of denied SSI/SSDI claims.
We know the Pacific Northwest. We have roots here, and we've lived and traveled all over the region. We understand the culture, the industries and the working conditions.
We go beyond, in every sense. We serve rural and remote areas that other firms don't. We stay in touch with clients. We do the necessary work to win.

Lisa R.J. Porter, Esq., Managing Partner (admitted in OR and WA) grew up in Southern Oregon. She was raised by a mother with a disability. After years of debilitating symptoms that were progressive, her mother was finally diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After high school, Lisa became a lead paralegal for eight years for a handicapped attorney.
From an early age, Lisa understood the day to day struggles of those with disabilities whether at home or in the work place. Because of this, Lisa developed a strong passion for helping those with disabilities. She went on to graduate from Lewis and Clark Law School in 1995. At the same time, she held a clerkship with former Plaintiff's Firm, Pozzi, Wilson, Atchison where she focused on workers compensation appeals, personal injury, and Social Security Disability. At the Pozzi firm, Lisa had the experience of working on breast implant class action litigations. An interest in this area led her to work as a corporate attorney/account executive managing large class action lawsuits of many types.
In 2002, Lisa began a solo practice. In her practice as Johnston Porter Law Office, P.C. Lisa continued to offer legal services in the areas of Workers Compensation, personal injury, and Social Security Disability. She also realized many of her clients struggled with financial difficulties and so a portion of her practice was devoted to consumer protection and bankruptcies as well.
In 2011, Lisa began developing her practice more exclusively in the Social Security Disability arena. She joined David Lowry Law Offices' disability practice as a contract attorney under JP Law, PC. In 2011, Lisa partnered with Melissa Kenney to form the law firm, KP Law PC, which merged with retiring attorney, David B. Lowry's, law practice. KP Law PC was a disability benefit rights firm that offered legal services in Social Security Disability, disability rights education, and public policy advocacy on behalf of disabled citizens primarily in the Pacific Northwest.
In 2015, JP Law, PC acquired KP Law, PC in an effort to offer a wider span of services for the injured and Disabled clients. The firm also teams up with other Disability attorneys and law firms in providing hearing level representation as well as appellate research and brief writing in Social Security Disability cases from Appeals Council to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. With Lisa's advocacy skills, JP Law PC is now one of the premier law firms in Social Security Disability on the West Coast, and is now making national recognition, as Lisa has successfully represented clients from Alaska to Puerto Rico.
