Getting our of reckless driving

I was represented by Ms. Karin Porter on a traffic-related matter. I was extremely pleased with her professionalism, responsiveness, and with the outcome. She responds to e-mail immediately, which gives me a sense that she really cares for my case. She gave me wonderful advice on what I should do to... help my case and reduce the charge, which she was able to do. I highly recommend Ms. Porter.

DWI 2nd offense, Refusal, Traffic Violation

Look no further!!! I couldn't be more happier with my outcome of my case. I got pulled over around the Pentagon and on Federal Property for turning from wrong lane. I was asked to step out and do the field sobriety tests which I didn't do so great on. I was arrested for DWI (second within 10 year...s) and Refusal. I spoke to another lawyer before reaching out to Mrs. Karin and that lawyer made me feel worse and more depressed. After contacting her office they took my information and said Mrs. Karin charges extra and will only take your case if she's available. I was okay with that. Mrs. Karin reached out to me the next day and went over my case with me. She had already gathered all the information regarding my case, and explained all my options to me. After speaking with her I felt so much better and more confident, she made me feel like I had a chance. We went to court 2 and a half weeks after my offense date for my Preliminary hearing and she was able to get my Refusal Charge and Traffic Violation dropped and DWI amended to reckless driving. 2 and a half weeks!!! Her experience as a prosecutor, her confidence and approach makes her one of the best lawyers I have ever come across. She was worth every single dollar that she charged.

Great Legal Representation

After receiving a speeding violation from Arlington County, I decided to obtain legal representation. I was searching for someone with a great legal reputation and personable to represent me in the legal proceedings. After careful consideration and due diligence, I decided to obtain Ms. Porter. What ...I wanted was the best legal defense possible. Ms. Porter from the start instructed me to complete (3) specific requirements for the court summon. Ms. Porter was very professional and knowledgeable in the Arlington County court proceedings. Being very well prepared helped Ms. Porter to negotiate with both the officer and the district attorney. The Arlington County speeding violation was amended to defective equipment, which is not a moving violation. If I should ever need future legal representation in Virginia, Ms. Porter would be the 1st on my list to hire.

Karin Porter - Exceptional Representation

I was incredibly fortunate to have Karin Porter representing me after being arrested in Fairfax County for DUI and driving on a suspended license. The videotape of my DUI arrest was particularly damning. A key factor behind selecting Karin to represent me was her near-decade of experience as a pr...osecutor and the fact she actually clerked for a Fairfax County Circuit Court judge. Although I had nearly zero interaction with the court system before this arrest, an obvious consideration was that my lawyer needed to know the key players (judge, prosecutor, law enforcement) and, more importantly, be respected by them. It was immediately clear during our first meeting Karin met this criteria, and it was increasingly reinforced throughout the process that Karin’s standing within the Fairfax County legal/court community couldn’t be higher. She knows the people firsthand and has extensively worked every aspect of the court system. Karin was a uniquely effective advocate for me when negotiating with the prosecution and arresting officer. Thanks to her in-depth knowledge, professional tenacity, and remarkable reputation among prosecutors and the police, my DUI was reduced to reckless driving, and the driving on a suspended license charge was reduced to simply driving without a license. Karin is an exceptional lawyer and I was lucky to have her fighting for me.

reckless driving charge

I had a reckless driving charge that Mrs. Porter negotiated down to a speeding ticket. She did all the talking and instructed me on how to make my case more favorable to the prosecutor, including taking a drivers education class before the case. I would recommend her if you need help with a reckless ...driving charge.
