Given the career field that I am in, I needed to ensure all possible options were considered and applied. I contacted Karin Porter's office and received a response in a timely manner. Karin provided me accurate recommendations, and her ability to present the information in a clear and convincing mann...er helped me obtain a favorable outcome in court. Her efficiency, straightforward explanations, and her professionalism are the reasons I highly recommend her to anyone in dire need of a criminal defense lawyer.

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.

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.

I highly recommend Karen Riley Porter. She provided excellent advice and guidance on actions to take in preparation for court, communicated the possible outcomes and options in a clear and compassionate manner and provided timely responses to all inquiries. She is professional, respectful, confiden...t and articulate. I am very grateful to her for a job extremely well done and would highly recommend her!

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.
