Great!

Karen handled everything for me in my reckless driving case. I am not from the state and yes, this is a total money maker for the state. With that being said it is a huge help to get an attorney. She instructed me everything to do including, driver improvement classes and some other things. From ther...e she explained I did not have to even show up to court. I was able to get my reckless reduced to 74 in a 55 with a 100 dollar fine which is just a basic speeding ticket. She was very responsive and assured me she would handle everything. Definitely hire her.

Excellent representation

I hired Karin Riley Porter to represent me for a reckless driving charge. She immediately took control of the situation, helped calm my nerves, and laid down the path for me to follow in order to put me in the best position on the court date. She then negotiated with the prosecutor to have my charg...e reduced from a reckless to a simple speeding. Through out the process she was professional, courteous, and highly informative. I am very happy with the service she provided and glad I hired her to represent me.

DUI 2nd

I was charged with several offenses back in Feb 2016, namely DUI 2nd, Refusal to breathalyzer, and driving on revoked. I researched numerous Lawyers and was bombarded with mail from lawyers all over the area to obtain their services. It's a stressful process and after weeding out the awful representa...tion out in the are who just look at you like $$$ I decided on Karin and it was the best decision I made after my DUI arrest. I knew I would surely be facing jail time and also having a history with the law let me know i was definitely going to be incarcerated for awhile. After contacting Karin, she was a breath of fresh air and formulated a strategy/ game planned like i have never seen before. She cared to know how i felt and that i was aware of the many challenges we would face as well as the outcomes of whatsoever decision i wanted to make. Weeks and days leading up to my court date Karin kept me abreast of my case as well as constant contact and assured me she would do everything in her power to do her best. The day of my court case she gave it to me in black/white with no BS and advised me that we didn't have the best judge and the prosecuting attorney was one of the worst to face in the court system. She again had another game plan in place and was well prepared which totally put me at ease because the whole attending court can seem like a roller coaster of emotions, I could tell she had plans B, C and D as a backup should it not go our way. Long story short, once we had our turn on the docket my DUI was bought down to a DUI 1st and the other 2 charges were thrown OUT! I did not have to do any jail time and was able to get my license restricted once i completed my ASAP. Karin is simply the BEST in her profession and i highly recommend her to any one who is facing a DUI or alcohol related offense.

Outstanding Representation

I hired Ms. Porter to represent my teenage son when he was charged with reckless driving in Fairfax County. She very clearly explained how the judicial process worked and what the possible consequences would be for our case. She was available by phone and email and made very specific recommendation...s as to steps that my son could take to prepare for his case. On the day of our court appearance, she met us at the courthouse and represented us very professionally before the judge. Her experience and guidance resulted in a very favorable outcome for our case. I am very satisfied with her work and would recommend her services.

Reckless Driving Defense

I was charged with a reckless driving offense and hired Ms. Porter as my lawyer. We initially talked by phone and then had a follow up meeting in her office. She listened, asked relevant questions and then explained the charge; providing all possible outcomes. She also explained how the court syst...em worked and what I should expect on the day of my court appearance. She was very knowledgeable, well spoken, kind and let me know she was available at any time to answer questions. On my court date she was prompt, met me outside the courtroom and we reviewed everything again. She met with the Officer as well, talked through my case and was able to come to an agreement on a much lesser charge which was absolutely unexpected. I was very pleased and appreciative. I would recommend Ms. Porter to anyone who needs representation. I can't say enough about her field of knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to her client. Thank you.
