Karin's 6th sense in Court

Karin's background on the other side as a previous prosecutor gives her clients an extreme advantage other attorneys could not offer. Karin has the ability to see angles in your defense your average lawyer would not typically spot. Her existing professional relationships with judges, active prosecuto...rs and police allows her to gauge opportunities and provide the best outcome for your case. I, personally, had major charges against me associated with drug and illegal firearms caught dead to rights and that would have most likely resulted in a total of ten (10) years in prison and a never ending hole of debt to pay back the fines. During court Karin capitalized on a small window of opportunity and was able to get my drug charges dismissed and pay fees a tiny fraction of what could have resulted. I am extremely pleased with the out come and can only say she is worth more than what she costs.

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.

Possession charge

My daughter is from out of state and while visiting Virginia was charged with possession. I hired Karin to defend her and could not be happier with the results. From the first free consultation to the goodbye after the court date, Karin was very professional yet has a personal way about her that wa...s very comforting to us. She clearly knows the law and the process very well and had a few creative ideas on how to potentially get the charges dismissed. Ultimately my daughter did not want to fight the charges and yet Karin was able to get the charge reduced and settled for a very reasonable fine. The outcome was much better than we had expected.

Outstanding Representation

Karin Porter has extensive experience as an Attorney at law and as a former prosecutor in Virginia. This extensive experience and high level of integrity to the client as well as empathy towards the client makes Karen an effective representative on your behalf. Karen not only met my expectation b...ut exceeded them. I was charged with reckless driving and I have never been charge with anything in my life. I was squarely looking at a misdemeanor charge for speeding and criminal record at 52 years of age. With a cold sweat on my forehead, I researched attorneys over the internet. I choose Karin based on how she represented herself on the company website and the fact she has 9 year of experience as a prosecutor in Virginia. Her flat fee service was a little bit higher to other attorneys but I justified it by the fact she has prosecutor experience of nine years. Upon signing the agreement with the law firm, I was given several tasks to complete which kept me busy and gave Karin extra options as the court day approached. I met with Karen before the court date to go through my case and then worked with Karin on my court day to discuss procedures and strategy. One nice part of have representation is that I did not have to go to the court room by myself and be called up by the judge. I do recommend to go into the court room to listen in to the cases going on to get a feel of the court room while Karin is working with the prosecutor and police officer in another room. Karin was able to plea deal just a simple speeding ticket which I agreed to. I signed a blue form. Karin and I went into the court room where the blue paper was given to the judge and just like that I was next on the docket with my plea deal and out of Fairfax court system in an hour and half.

An Excellent Attorney

I found Ms. Karin Porter to be an excellent and very professional attorney. She was very responsive to me as a client. Her staff was the same. She told me, from the very beginning, exactly what documents to get and prepare and what to do about my vehicle and my driver's license. I followed her instr...uctions to the letter. On my court date, she skillfully negotiated with the prosecutor and police officer and had my charges reduced to speeding. There were no hidden costs. She was extremely pleasant and a delight to work with. I recommend her very strongly to any potential client and wish her continuing success.
