An Unwavering Advocate for Tribal Sovereignty and Rights

Our nation was facing a complex and high-stakes dispute involving land use and treaty rights with a state agency. The legal landscape was fraught with historical complexities, and we needed counsel with not just deep legal knowledge but genuine cultural understanding. From our first consultation with Marco Poretti at Reynolds Mirth Richards & Farmer LLP, it was clear we had found our advocate. His 17 years dedicated exclusively to Aboriginal Law and Indigenous Practice were immediately evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he contextualized our situation within the broader framework of federal Indian law and the specific precedents relevant to our region. His dual background in commerce and law from the University of Alberta proved invaluable in structuring our economic arguments alongside our sovereign rights claims. Mr. Poretti’s strategic guidance was meticulous. He prepared our council and witnesses with a level of thoroughness that inspired confidence, and his negotiations were both firm and respectful, ultimately securing a favorable settlement that protected our ancestral lands and affirmed our rights. His repeated recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field is no surprise. He is more than an attorney; he is a dedicated partner in upholding our nation's sovereignty. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
