Karin Porter is an excellent attorney. I had used Price Benowitz before and am very thankful to have met Ms. Porter. From our initial meeting she was clear, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Her legal experience in criminal cases provided a clear sense of direction . After our initial meeting, Kari...n was regularly in contact with me as she worked through the specifics of my defense. Throughout the process I was informed and up to date at every point until the ultimate dismissal of the pending felony charges. It was a true pleasure working with her.

I was was charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain control of the vehicle. I was hoping for dismissal of charges or lessening the offence. I work for the U.S. Navy and have a clearance. I was worried that would be affected. I found Karin very personable and sharp with the details of my... case. She returned my calls and texts very quickly and made me feel at ease. The law firm, Price Benowitz took credit cards, so paying was easy. Karin was able to work with the DA and the state trooper behind the scenes without me present to get the charges dropped. I was never needed to appear in court, except for a short appearance to acknowledge the charges were dropped. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the trial and very appreciative to Karin for the work she did.

When I was charged with RD I was very concerned because I realized that it was a serious situation, with potentially damaging consequences and I was likely going to need some help. I got some information in the mail and Price Benowitz was the first one I got, so I called. When I first called it wa...s very painless. I spoke with the staff and within an hour got a call back from Karin Riley Porter. After discussing the case with her briefly, she sent me an email with a checklist of everything I needed to do. The guy before me in the courthouse got a huge fine and a suspension, and was charged with basically the same things that I was charged with, but he wasn’t represented. We had a very challenging judge and some problematic circumstances, but I feel Karin was able to get me the best possible outcome in light of the circumstances. In the line to pay the fine there was attorney after attorney apologizing to their clients. I just had a small fine to pay. It was an awesome experience to not need an apology.

I met Karin Riley Porter due to a hearing to determine my probation status after a review by VASAP. I was both frightened and concerned. We fully reviewed case materials and as we discussed the issues at hand, I felt she had the depth of knowledge and experience to present my position to the court ...and offer an honest evaluation of the likely outcomes. I was EXTREMELY pleased with the results of the hearing. I recommend Ms. Riley Porter to anyone facing a difficult legal situation.

Karin Porter accomplished exactly what I asked of her, in that she was able to have the charge of reckless driving amended to failure to pay full time and attention. The outcome of my guilty plea to the amended charge resulted in a sentence of a $250.00 fine, plus payment of court costs. The charge... for which I was convicted did not carry any demerit points on my Virginia driver’s license.
