Having to retain a lawyer should never be on anyone's "to-do" list. If there is a situation where you HAVE to retain one, Ms. Riley Porter is an excellent choice. She is responsive, and listens to your situation thoroughly and never once did I feel I made a bad decision or she was not looking out f...or my best interests. She fought strong for me and made sure I was dealt with fairly by the court system when it was clear I was not. She is truly a good person and a good lawyer to have on your side.

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.

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.

I knew Karin from where I worked, and I already knew that she was an excellent attorney. I was facing a false obstruction of justice charge in Fairfax County, and I needed a very good attorney to properly fight this. I knew Karin was the right person to call. Karin and I went over my case, and fro...m her responses I knew she could handle this. I liked the answers she gave me, and I knew that I wanted her to represent me. Karin prepared for the case extremely well. She was very thorough, I pretty much just handed over all the documents for the case to her, and she took care of everything. Initially the court said that they wanted to reschedule the case since the officer was not ready. We were ready to fight the case, had our witnesses, and everything. Karin explained our options at court, and she suggested we do not continue the case and instead fight this and talk to the judge about it. At that points Karin made her arguments to the judge. She said “Your honor we are here, we have witnesses, and we do not want to continue this case.” The Judge ended up dismissing the charges… and I was totally relieved. Karin fought so hard for me, and we won, and now I can get this this expunged too! Karin was amazing, and for one minute I did not think she would ever tell me to do the wrong thing. Karin is an excellent criminal defense attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.
