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!

Professional, competent, amazing!

I was recently defended by Karin in a criminal defense case. As a medical professional I had a lot on the line. Needless to say any kind of charges or arrest records would have jeopardized my professional licensure. Karin's cool, calm and collected approach instantly put my nerves at ease. During the... months leading to my trial, she was no less than fabulous. She was very responsive to my phone calls and answered all of my questions. I was fortunate to have her represent my case. My charges were dropped and I am eligible for an expungement. A situation that could have done irreparable harm to my career is now just a bad memory. When you hire Karin you are buying peace of mind and that is worth every cent. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to a friend or family member.

Very Professional, Gets Great Results Against Long Odds

After reviewing several options for legal representation, I hired Karin Riley Porter to handle my reckless-driving/speed charge. She used her expertise with the prosecution, traffic court judges and numerous other cases to advise and defend me. She helped me pull together materials for my defense tha...t I would not have thought of on my own. She then used those to successfully negotiate a charge reduced to simple speeding. I would not hesitate to recommend Karin in the future. I hope I won't require her services a second time, but if I do, she'll be the first call I make.
