DUI 2nd

I was charged with several offenses back in Feb 2016, namely DUI 2nd, Refusal to breathalyzer, and driving on revoked. I researched numerous Lawyers and was bombarded with mail from lawyers all over the area to obtain their services. It's a stressful process and after weeding out the awful representa...tion out in the are who just look at you like $$$ I decided on Karin and it was the best decision I made after my DUI arrest. I knew I would surely be facing jail time and also having a history with the law let me know i was definitely going to be incarcerated for awhile. After contacting Karin, she was a breath of fresh air and formulated a strategy/ game planned like i have never seen before. She cared to know how i felt and that i was aware of the many challenges we would face as well as the outcomes of whatsoever decision i wanted to make. Weeks and days leading up to my court date Karin kept me abreast of my case as well as constant contact and assured me she would do everything in her power to do her best. The day of my court case she gave it to me in black/white with no BS and advised me that we didn't have the best judge and the prosecuting attorney was one of the worst to face in the court system. She again had another game plan in place and was well prepared which totally put me at ease because the whole attending court can seem like a roller coaster of emotions, I could tell she had plans B, C and D as a backup should it not go our way. Long story short, once we had our turn on the docket my DUI was bought down to a DUI 1st and the other 2 charges were thrown OUT! I did not have to do any jail time and was able to get my license restricted once i completed my ASAP. Karin is simply the BEST in her profession and i highly recommend her to any one who is facing a DUI or alcohol related offense.

Karin was incredible

I hired Karin for my daughters case. She was fantastic. This was the first time my family had gone through anything like this and my daughter was very scared and nervous. Karin kept reassuring her that everything was going to be OK. She had the utmost confidence in herself and my daughter. She knew e...xactly what she was doing and everything that she said was going to happen, happened. She has great communication skills, responding to emails within 24 hours or less. She truly cares about her clients and that shows in her work. Karin was incredible and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Outstanding Representation

I hired Ms. Porter to represent my teenage son when he was charged with reckless driving in Fairfax County. She very clearly explained how the judicial process worked and what the possible consequences would be for our case. She was available by phone and email and made very specific recommendation...s as to steps that my son could take to prepare for his case. On the day of our court appearance, she met us at the courthouse and represented us very professionally before the judge. Her experience and guidance resulted in a very favorable outcome for our case. I am very satisfied with her work and would recommend her services.

DWI/DUI representation

Earlier this year, I is was arrested in Fairfax county. Even though my case was pretty straight forward I knew that it would be best for me to seek legal advice. I had never hired a lawyer before and didn't feel that calling one of the many in-mail pieces I had received was the best option - at least... without searching for some positive reviews on the web. After an extensive search, and many reviews later, I felt comfortable and confident in my decision to call Karin Riley Porter - Karin was great - the very first meeting with her put me at ease, considering the difficult position I had put myself in; I felt that Karin truly cared about getting me the best possible deal. As stated earlier, my case was pretty straight forward - the trooper had clear video evidence of my condition and I made a few statements regarding my state that didn't help my case at all. Karin really helped keep me focused - she gathered information, informed me of my options, and prepared me for every possibility - from best to worst case scenarios, I really appreciated her honesty and lack of false promises. In short Karin managed to keep me out of jail, BAC was stricken, and stress levels were reduced by the caring way she handled my case.
