Success

Ms Porter was helpful from our very first conversation. She provided a lot of tips on how to position myself for the best possible outcome. When the time came, she was firm and persuasive which ultimately led to our success.

Excellent lawyer

I found Karin and Price Benowitz when trying to find an attorney for my case and ended up calling their office. I spoke with Karin the same day that I called into the office and she seemed very confident in her ability to handle this matter correctly. She always responded to me quickly and sympathize...d with the serious impacts the charges I were facing could have on my life. Karin was able to have my case closed within a month of being initially charged, while drastically reducing the severity of the charges. Karin was very familiar with the judges and prosecutors in the courthouse and was very confident while representing me. I would recommend Karin to anyone facing a criminal charge in Northern Virginia, she is an excellent attorney both in and out of the courtroom.

Karin is a excellent

I knew Karin from where I worked, and I already knew that she was an excellent attorney. I was facing a false obstruction of justice charge in Fairfax County, and I needed a very good attorney to properly fight this. I knew Karin was the right person to call. Karin and I went over my case, and fro...m her responses I knew she could handle this. I liked the answers she gave me, and I knew that I wanted her to represent me. Karin prepared for the case extremely well. She was very thorough, I pretty much just handed over all the documents for the case to her, and she took care of everything. Initially the court said that they wanted to reschedule the case since the officer was not ready. We were ready to fight the case, had our witnesses, and everything. Karin explained our options at court, and she suggested we do not continue the case and instead fight this and talk to the judge about it. At that points Karin made her arguments to the judge. She said “Your honor we are here, we have witnesses, and we do not want to continue this case.” The Judge ended up dismissing the charges… and I was totally relieved. Karin fought so hard for me, and we won, and now I can get this this expunged too! Karin was amazing, and for one minute I did not think she would ever tell me to do the wrong thing. Karin is an excellent criminal defense attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.

Virginia Wreckless Driving

I was pulled over by Police while driving to Dulles Airport to return home to California. I was shocked that I was issued a ticket for "wreckless driving" for going 80 mph. I was even more disturbed that it required a court appearance back in Virginia and possible jail time an a misdemeanor. Karin... provided me a free consultation and explained how she could help me. She is an expert in these types of cases. I hired her and she was able to represent me such that I did not have to personally appear in court. She was able to get the wreckless driving reduced to a simple infraction which was a great relief to me.
