Very professional and an easy recommendation

I had a reckless driving and 30+ mph speeding ticket in Virginia. I spoke with and met Karin to discuss and found her to be very knowledgeable about the issue and honest about what to expect during the process. She explained the steps I should take prior to the court date and always responded to my... questions promptly. In court, she got the reckless dismissed and I had only a $75 fine for the other ticket. I am glad that I had her as my attorney and would recommend her and her firm to anyone.

Intoxication in Public

I was out of town in Arlington County, VA and was arrested for the alleged offense of "Intoxicatation in Public". After being released, I had to go back home out of the state. It was going to be nearly impossible for me to make it to my initial appearance. I immediately searched the internet for the ...right attorney to help with this dilemma. I searched for hours until I came across Karin Riley Porter, Attorney at Law. I was totally impressed by her reviews so I contacted her for a consultation. Karin was extremely personable and showed a genuine interest in my case. She took her time explaining all of the possible outcomes and drafted a possible plan of action to represent me in my absence. She did all of this before I even retained her. At that point I felt I had found the person I was looking for and hired her. We went over the plan of action again in detail and we both went to work on my case. Yes you read that correctly, I also went to work on this case. Karin layed out all of the things I could do in the mean time to better my position in this case. We kept great communication throughout the process and there was never a moment where I felt uninformed. Even though she had other clients, Karin and her assistant Sarah always found time for me. They made me feel like my case was a personal interest of theirs. Karin was super confident the entire time. She was realistic, honest, and never gave me any false promises. She was also very knowledgeable and I could tell she had a tremendous amount of experience. After her tireless efforts, she helped me reach the best possible outcome. There were other outcomes some attorneys might have settled for but she instead chose not to give up until she reached the best possible disposition. She literally fought an uphill battle and came out triumphant. I truly thank her for everything she did. Her hard work helped restore many damages caused by the arrest. Though I don't plan on putting myself in a position to require her assistance, I would definitely use her services again. Thank you again.

Best Fairfax County Lawyer

So Ms. Karin Porter’s reputation precedes her. It is my complete pleasure to write this review. Ms. Karin Porter is a magnificent defense attorney. I have dealt with A LOT of lawyers, and I can honestly say I’ve never seen an attorney so strong, professional, informative, and caring of her clients. I... have met with many lawyers so I know how confusing, short, and impersonal they can be. Ms. Porter was nothing but informative, honest, fair in pricing, and most importantly caring. I felt confident that she would give me the best possible outcome and she did. If you are to choose any attorney to represent you in Fairfax County, I strongly recommend you retain Ms. Porter.

DUI 1st Offense

Karin helped me get through one of the most stressful times in my life. From the initial consultation call, she put my mind at ease and I knew I was in good hands. She thoroughly explained the details of my case, what I was potentially facing, and was there to guide me every step of the way. I could...n't be happier now that it's all over!

Outstanding!!! Have hired again.

Outstanding! Always prepared! Detailed! Communicates well! Very personable! Did the what-if analysis. Righted- an injustice. Based on her abilities, I have asked her to aid in other unrelated matters.
