Best, Brightest, Hardest Working and Most Glamourous Defense Attorney in Northern VA!

Karin has been my lawyer for the better part of two years. She is hard working and very dedicated to my case. Initially I hired her because she physically fit the bill for what I was looking for in a defense attorney - beautiful, well dressed, seemed smart, appeared to be a go-getter, etc.... Once ...I really got to know and trust her I understood that she was all of that, for sure, but also she is truly dedicated to my defense. I cannot even imagine how many hours she put into my case. I know she was working day and night and on weekends and even when on vacation. She is the first attorney I've had to hire to defend me and I truly believe that I struck gold finding her. I cannot say enough nice things about the work she did for me. I also appreciated how she knew when to laugh with me, when to give me a "get a grip" reality check, and when to be consoling. I hope to never need defense legal services again, but if I do she will be the first person I call. As my case has come to an end, I am actually sad to not have her as a daily part of my life. If you or anyone you know is in need of the BEST criminal defense, I would highly recommend Karin Porter.

Excellent lawyer

I found Karin and Price Benowitz when trying to find an attorney for my case and ended up calling their office. I spoke with Karin the same day that I called into the office and she seemed very confident in her ability to handle this matter correctly. She always responded to me quickly and sympathize...d with the serious impacts the charges I were facing could have on my life. Karin was able to have my case closed within a month of being initially charged, while drastically reducing the severity of the charges. Karin was very familiar with the judges and prosecutors in the courthouse and was very confident while representing me. I would recommend Karin to anyone facing a criminal charge in Northern Virginia, she is an excellent attorney both in and out of the courtroom.

Great lawyer for any traffic case!

When I was given a speeding ticket, I was referred to the managing partner of Price Benowitz LLP, Seth Price, who took some information about my case. He put me in touch with Defense attorney Karin Porter. Karin gave me the lay of the land as far as the seriousness of the traffic violation and gave m...e a realistic depiction of what I could expect. She told me what I needed to hear. I went with Karin to court, and her demeanor was very professional. I was very satisfied with the results of Karin’s work. She was able to get me off with a fine. I would definitely recommend Karin to anyone in need of a traffic attorney.

Best Criminal Attorney!!

Mrs. Porter was professional and very knowledgeable of my situation (2nd possesion of marijuana). When I met her, she had a gracious and positive attitude as well as made me feel like I was her only client. What also impressed me was that she was prepared with a map of the area where the traffic sto...p occured, the officer's information and legal research before I walked in her office. She will get you the best result! I'm happy for the result in my case as it was DISMISSED with community service and gracious to have had her as my attorney.

Excellent Attorny Highly Recommend

I received Karin Porter’s information in the mail when I was charged with Reckless Driving. I was impressed with her qualifications as a former prosecutor and that she had good online reviews. I called Karin’s office and talked to the staff. I received a call back from Karin within an hour. Karin was... very friendly and knowledgeable. She let me know what I was facing and what the court would be looking at with my driving record. She sent me a representation agreement and worked with me on the payment arrangements to ensure that it was within my budget. Karin went to court for me since I could not make it due to work commitments. She had great communication with me throughout the whole process. Karin was able to get my Reckless Driving charge reduced to a simple speeding violation with only a small fee. I would definitely recommend Karin to other potential clients looking for a Reckless Driving lawyer.
