Karin is a compassionate, attentive and highly professional attorney who helped me and my family through a significantly difficult life changing event. She listened carefully to my situation and before ever accepting a dime, immediately proceeded to lay out a path for resolving my issue. Karin kept... my expectation level of the outcome of my case realistic. She kept me informed on the status of my case throughout the process. She proved herself to be a thorough, knowledgeable and detail orientated attorney that through her keen knowledge of the law, understanding of the potential disciplinary options the State could seek, resolved my case with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I hope to never again need an attorney but if I do, Karin will be my first call. If you are reading this review because you are in search of an attorney, I highly recommend calling Karin Riley Porter.

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!

Karin was extremely thorough and professional throughout my misdemeanor case. From my initial consultation to the last court appearance, she made the process very efficient and easy in very difficult circumstances. Her experience definitely showed in how she handled my case. Ultimately, she was abl...e to make a deal with the prosecutor and was able to achieve a very satisfactory outcome for me.

Having to retain a lawyer should never be on anyone's "to-do" list. If there is a situation where you HAVE to retain one, Ms. Riley Porter is an excellent choice. She is responsive, and listens to your situation thoroughly and never once did I feel I made a bad decision or she was not looking out f...or my best interests. She fought strong for me and made sure I was dealt with fairly by the court system when it was clear I was not. She is truly a good person and a good lawyer to have on your side.

Karin has been my lawyer for the better part of two years. She is hard working and very dedicated to my case. Initially I hired her because she physically fit the bill for what I was looking for in a defense attorney - beautiful, well dressed, seemed smart, appeared to be a go-getter, etc.... Once ...I really got to know and trust her I understood that she was all of that, for sure, but also she is truly dedicated to my defense. I cannot even imagine how many hours she put into my case. I know she was working day and night and on weekends and even when on vacation. She is the first attorney I've had to hire to defend me and I truly believe that I struck gold finding her. I cannot say enough nice things about the work she did for me. I also appreciated how she knew when to laugh with me, when to give me a "get a grip" reality check, and when to be consoling. I hope to never need defense legal services again, but if I do she will be the first person I call. As my case has come to an end, I am actually sad to not have her as a daily part of my life. If you or anyone you know is in need of the BEST criminal defense, I would highly recommend Karin Porter.
