About Marla
Marla Raus built her legal foundation in the classroom. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse University in 2013 and completed her Juris Doctor at Wake Forest University School of Law in 2016. Those years on campus shaped the habits she still uses daily: careful research, concise writing and attention to detail.
After law school she entered the practice of law in New York. Records show she is licensed to practice in that jurisdiction. She has maintained a professional membership since 2017, an affiliation that has run alongside her work in the state. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and steady; she tends to prefer clear analysis over theatrical gestures.
Her early legal training included sustained work on briefs and motions, legal research projects and client communications. At Wake Forest, she took part in practical course work that emphasized courtroom procedure and client counseling. Those experiences translated into day-to-day responsibilities in practice: drafting pleadings, preparing legal memoranda and advising clients on procedural matters. She has handled tasks that require both precise legal writing and practical problem solving.
Marla’s career path has remained centered on practicing law in New York. She has worked alongside other lawyers and support staff to manage caseloads, prepare for hearings and coordinate discovery. In firm settings she has been involved in the management of client files and the logistics that keep matters moving through the system. Her work style favors organization and clarity; she structures legal analysis so clients and other lawyers can use it.
Today she is an attorney at The Porter Law Group. Her role at the firm involves the routine responsibilities of an active practitioner: meeting with clients, managing filings and preparing legal documents. She continues to draw on the legal training she received at Syracuse and Wake Forest, and on years of practice in New York courts and administrative settings. She practices at The Porter Law Group, serving clients on matters arising under New York law.
