Karin's 6th sense in Court

Karin's background on the other side as a previous prosecutor gives her clients an extreme advantage other attorneys could not offer. Karin has the ability to see angles in your defense your average lawyer would not typically spot. Her existing professional relationships with judges, active prosecuto...rs and police allows her to gauge opportunities and provide the best outcome for your case. I, personally, had major charges against me associated with drug and illegal firearms caught dead to rights and that would have most likely resulted in a total of ten (10) years in prison and a never ending hole of debt to pay back the fines. During court Karin capitalized on a small window of opportunity and was able to get my drug charges dismissed and pay fees a tiny fraction of what could have resulted. I am extremely pleased with the out come and can only say she is worth more than what she costs.

Outstanding!!! Have hired again.

Outstanding! Always prepared! Detailed! Communicates well! Very personable! Did the what-if analysis. Righted- an injustice. Based on her abilities, I have asked her to aid in other unrelated matters.

Highly Satisfied Client

Karen Riley Porter was professional, timely, comforting, and always provided me with plenty of information to help my case. Karin was readily available for any questions, responded promptly to any of my concerns and always made me feel confident about the outcome of my case. Karin's approach obtained... me a plea deal avoiding possible license points, license suspension, and jail time on a misdemeanor case for a very high speed reckless driving charge. I am happy I chose her firm and got a chance to work with her directly. I highly recommend Karin as your representative if you want the best professionalism, legal assistance and the best results.

Need an excellent defense attorney? Look no further.

As an out of state driver, when I was charged with speeding while visiting family in Fairfax, I knew that I would need help. Karin was one of several lawyers that I considered retaining. During my free consultation I could tell that she would be the best defense attorney to work with. Every defen...se attorney I spoke with highlighted that - beyond the law and the facts of the case - the outcome would also be influenced by the people involved (e.g., the Officer, Prosecutor, Judge, etc.). Karin is a former prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia - and so her network and deep understanding of the people involved was incredibly helpful to me. Beyond that, Karin is everything you would expect from your attorney: attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and tough (in a good way). I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and thankful to Karin for her support. I would absolutely recommend her for your defense needs!

Exceptional representation with friendly care

Karin Riley Porter is a great lawyer, she provided my with exceptional service and walked me through everything from start to finish. This was my first time seeking s lawyer and I read all the great reviews and they were all valid. I contacted the firm and was given the option to speak to Karin wit...h no commitment and I agreed. She called me and was very professional and upfront about my reckless driving charge in Virginia. I had a 90 mph reckless driving charge in a 55 mph zone reduced to speeding. It was the only reckless charge that day that was reduced that low. Her strategy in the courtroom worked out to net me the most favorable outcome that could be expected. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer for any matter that she handles, her professionalism and care in working with the client is superb. I'm very happy to recommend her and wish her all the best!
