Great Legal Representation

After receiving a speeding violation from Arlington County, I decided to obtain legal representation. I was searching for someone with a great legal reputation and personable to represent me in the legal proceedings. After careful consideration and due diligence, I decided to obtain Ms. Porter. What ...I wanted was the best legal defense possible. Ms. Porter from the start instructed me to complete (3) specific requirements for the court summon. Ms. Porter was very professional and knowledgeable in the Arlington County court proceedings. Being very well prepared helped Ms. Porter to negotiate with both the officer and the district attorney. The Arlington County speeding violation was amended to defective equipment, which is not a moving violation. If I should ever need future legal representation in Virginia, Ms. Porter would be the 1st on my list to hire.

Karin Porter - Exceptional Representation

I was incredibly fortunate to have Karin Porter representing me after being arrested in Fairfax County for DUI and driving on a suspended license. The videotape of my DUI arrest was particularly damning. A key factor behind selecting Karin to represent me was her near-decade of experience as a pr...osecutor and the fact she actually clerked for a Fairfax County Circuit Court judge. Although I had nearly zero interaction with the court system before this arrest, an obvious consideration was that my lawyer needed to know the key players (judge, prosecutor, law enforcement) and, more importantly, be respected by them. It was immediately clear during our first meeting Karin met this criteria, and it was increasingly reinforced throughout the process that Karin’s standing within the Fairfax County legal/court community couldn’t be higher. She knows the people firsthand and has extensively worked every aspect of the court system. Karin was a uniquely effective advocate for me when negotiating with the prosecution and arresting officer. Thanks to her in-depth knowledge, professional tenacity, and remarkable reputation among prosecutors and the police, my DUI was reduced to reckless driving, and the driving on a suspended license charge was reduced to simply driving without a license. Karin is an exceptional lawyer and I was lucky to have her fighting for me.

reckless driving charge

I had a reckless driving charge that Mrs. Porter negotiated down to a speeding ticket. She did all the talking and instructed me on how to make my case more favorable to the prosecutor, including taking a drivers education class before the case. I would recommend her if you need help with a reckless ...driving charge.

Turns a Sad day into a Glad day.

My daughter and I are very glad we picked Karin Porter for her attorney. Facing Reckless Operation charges with the possibility of very serious consequences such as License Suspension, a Criminal record and even Jail time, we were very worried about the outcome, Karin came through for us and my daugh...ter avoided all those bad things.

Top Notch

We hired Karin for a close relative of ours to fight a very complex criminal case and we could not be happier with the results! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we consulted with her up until the very end. Karin is honest, upfront, responsive and thorough. I have dealt with a few lawye...rs in my past I can honestly say that none compare to her, and I mean NONE. She will truly fight for you to get the best outcome and she most certainly has your best interest at heart. Her years of experience CLEARLY shows. If I could rate her higher than a 5–I would. She IS top notch!!
