This was my first time in court. I was charged with wreck less driving 90 in 55. Instead of jailtime, excessive fine and license suspension, I only ended up paying 250$ and got some points on my record which were inevitable. Mrs. Porter was professional and helped me through the process step by step ...and aided me in making the right decisions.

I hired Karin for a reckless driving ticket. With everything I read online about this offense and all the potential punishments, I was terrified! I wouldn't be able to operate on a daily basis without a license, so I took this case very serious. Luckily for me, Karin was helpful from the very begin...ning. She gave me a step by step process that would help my case. When it came down to the court date, she made the process extremely pain free. Karin brought my reckless driving ticket down to a regular speeding ticket, which in turn, greatly reduced the fine, and held no probation. Anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, and easy to work with lawyer, should definitely consider hiring Karin.

Recently I had the misfortunate of receiving a speed ticket in fairfax county. This is a experience that we all have or will have to endure one day. I was extremely blessed to have Karin Riley Porter as my lawyer. No one enjoys going to traffic court but for the time ever, I had clear understandin...g of the proceedings and everything that my case entailed. Karin saved me a lot of time and money, I highly recommend her services. So if you need a great lawyer, whether Traffic, criminal or any trouble with the law, give Karin a call...... Ratcliff

My daughter was represented by Mrs. Porter. This was my first time experiencing court sessions with an attorney with such passion and commitment. Even the judge commented how much work was put into her representation for her client. Outstanding. Mrs. Porter is the type of lawyer that you don't mind p...aying the required costs, because you know you are being represented by an honest, caring lawyer, not one who is just taking your money, as I have experienced several times before. I would recommend Mrs. Porter to anyone who is looking for true representation. She is the most professional lawyer from the start of the consultation to the end of her representation. Thank you again Mrs. Porter. Your client for life.

After being charged with three class 1 misdemeanors and speaking to numerous attorneys, I came across Karin Porter. I called her law firm and spoke to another attorney before speaking to her, I was very impressed with her knowledge of the court process and also the possible outcomes she predicted. Sh...e was caring, informative, and professional; Karin was not intimidating and she did not try to scare me into retaining her (like other attorneys I spoke to did) which was something I appreciated. Karin told me that my case was certainly worth fighting for rather than just accepting whatever plea is given. I decided to retain Karin because her past experience as a Prosecutor made her stand out from all the other attorneys I spoke to. Although I was told up front by the firm's receptionist that Karin would charge $500-$1000 more than other attorneys in her firm I did not let that stop me from retaining her. (I strongly recommend not letting any amount of money prevent you from retaining the right attorney for your charges) Each attorney I spoke to mentioned that at the first court date the case would most likely not be resolved because the first court date is the first time all of the evidence is able to be reviewed be the attorney. I felt scared and nervous going into the court room. Karin was constantly in and out of the room getting as much information and evidence on my case as she could the day of court. She also made sure to inform me of everything she was doing on the court date, she kept me up to date on any new information she received or a new strategy that she planned to execute. Karin was ready to go to trial on the first court date with all of the information she gained. Karin was also always available incase I had any questions and she was constantly guiding me and providing me with advice regarding what to do and what not to do in court. Ultimately Karin was able to convince the prosecutor to have all three of my charges dismissed at the first court date! This result was one I did not expect to occur especially on the first court date. I can not express my appreciation and thankfulness for Karin's work on my case! I would certainly recommend her for any criminal defense charges anyone is facing. Karin mentioned that she had not dealt with a case that was just like mine as a criminal defense attorney and she was still able to achieve the best possible outcome yet so I would strongly recommend her!! Although I hope to never need the services of an attorney again I would certainly retain her again if I am ever faced with any charges. Overall, Karin is a great attorney who is not only realistic and caring, but one who will do her very best to reach the best outcome she can without settling for anything less!
