Hands down best criminal defense attorney for DUI related offenses

I was arrested on DUI and refusal in December 2019. I chose Karin after doing very careful research and meeting with several attorneys. Karin was able to secure the result I wanted (DUI dismissed in exchange for the non-criminal refusal offense) because of her expert knowledge of the courts and her s...avvy negotiating skills. She seemed to know every prosecutor, police officer, and judge in the courthouse which went a long way in the result of my case. Plus, I only had to be in court for a few minutes when it was all said and done. Karin is also a very compassionate lawyer who fully invests herself in the case and makes you feel like you are her only client. It was an emotional time for me and she really put me at ease every step of the way. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney - look no further. Karin Riley Porter is exceptional.

Great Experience

Ms. Porter worked with me on my DWI charge from day one. She provided guidance starting from the time I called as I was being released the morning after the arrest through my appearance before the Judge. She explained the seriousness of the charge and the sentencing guidelines if found guilty. She he...lped me plan everything I needed to do before court. By not setting unrealistic expectations, I was able to better focus on preparing for the worst case scenario. By following her guidance, I was able to have everything in place prior to the Court Date. This preparation helped present me to the Prosecutor in a much better light. Her guidance and her being available anytime I had a question, reduced my level of anxiety. She was able to have my charge reduced which is helping me get on with my life. I feel that she not only took an interest in the case but also in me. She helped me through a very difficult situation.

Terrific Advocate

Karin helped me through a very difficult time in my life as I faced a second DUI within 10 years. From the beginning she was there to help me not only with the case, but also how to deal with this event in my broader life. Thanks to Karin I have been able to move past this event successfully and cou...ld not recommend her more emphatically.

DWI 2nd offense, Refusal, Traffic Violation

Look no further!!! I couldn't be more happier with my outcome of my case. I got pulled over around the Pentagon and on Federal Property for turning from wrong lane. I was asked to step out and do the field sobriety tests which I didn't do so great on. I was arrested for DWI (second within 10 year...s) and Refusal. I spoke to another lawyer before reaching out to Mrs. Karin and that lawyer made me feel worse and more depressed. After contacting her office they took my information and said Mrs. Karin charges extra and will only take your case if she's available. I was okay with that. Mrs. Karin reached out to me the next day and went over my case with me. She had already gathered all the information regarding my case, and explained all my options to me. After speaking with her I felt so much better and more confident, she made me feel like I had a chance. We went to court 2 and a half weeks after my offense date for my Preliminary hearing and she was able to get my Refusal Charge and Traffic Violation dropped and DWI amended to reckless driving. 2 and a half weeks!!! Her experience as a prosecutor, her confidence and approach makes her one of the best lawyers I have ever come across. She was worth every single dollar that she charged.
