Great!

Karen handled everything for me in my reckless driving case. I am not from the state and yes, this is a total money maker for the state. With that being said it is a huge help to get an attorney. She instructed me everything to do including, driver improvement classes and some other things. From ther...e she explained I did not have to even show up to court. I was able to get my reckless reduced to 74 in a 55 with a 100 dollar fine which is just a basic speeding ticket. She was very responsive and assured me she would handle everything. Definitely hire her.

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.

Outstanding Representation

Karin Porter has extensive experience as an Attorney at law and as a former prosecutor in Virginia. This extensive experience and high level of integrity to the client as well as empathy towards the client makes Karen an effective representative on your behalf. Karen not only met my expectation b...ut exceeded them. I was charged with reckless driving and I have never been charge with anything in my life. I was squarely looking at a misdemeanor charge for speeding and criminal record at 52 years of age. With a cold sweat on my forehead, I researched attorneys over the internet. I choose Karin based on how she represented herself on the company website and the fact she has 9 year of experience as a prosecutor in Virginia. Her flat fee service was a little bit higher to other attorneys but I justified it by the fact she has prosecutor experience of nine years. Upon signing the agreement with the law firm, I was given several tasks to complete which kept me busy and gave Karin extra options as the court day approached. I met with Karen before the court date to go through my case and then worked with Karin on my court day to discuss procedures and strategy. One nice part of have representation is that I did not have to go to the court room by myself and be called up by the judge. I do recommend to go into the court room to listen in to the cases going on to get a feel of the court room while Karin is working with the prosecutor and police officer in another room. Karin was able to plea deal just a simple speeding ticket which I agreed to. I signed a blue form. Karin and I went into the court room where the blue paper was given to the judge and just like that I was next on the docket with my plea deal and out of Fairfax court system in an hour and half.

Most Pleasurable Court Experience Ever

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.
