This was the first time I had hired Karin. I chose her based on the fact that she had good reviews and experience with the DA. She was a real pleasure to have on my team during this unfortunate experience with the law. Karin was easily reached and answered my questions immediately. She helped me... feel at ease and prepared me for a defensive Strategy. Discussed with me all possible outcomes. We were fortunate not to be charged.

Being charged with DUI (and caught on the wrong lane while making a left) and not knowing anything about it, I was quite nervous and needed to get some advice immediately. It was one of those long weekends. After contacting Karin’s office, they got back to me in less than an hour and Karin herself re...sponded that same day and was able to schedule a meeting for the next day. She has been very professional, understanding and kind from the very beginning. She is definitely an expert in this area and knows the potential outcomes very well. She has been very responsive to even my most basic questions (due to not knowing anything about the procedure). On the day of the hearing, she could successfully reduce my case to “improper driving” with a fine of $500 which was a big relief. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who faces similar charges.

I hired Karin Porter for a DWI offense in 2019, in part because of existing Avvo reviews. She definitely proved to be the best choice for my case--she was honest from the beginning, gave me straightforward advice, and prepared me for every possible outcome. Luckily, because of her strong relationship...s with the prosecutor's office, she was able to get my offense pled down to the lesser charge of reckless driving with a minimal suspension of my license. Her support through a very difficult time for me personally gave me the relief of knowing I had the best possible outcome. If you need help, she's definitely the best attorney to go to!

From our first call I knew I had made a great choice. Karin has the perfect combination of confidence, compassion, expertise and experience needed to make clients comfortable during a difficult situation. I was facing a DUI charge in the Eastern Virginia Federal Court. Karin's experience with t...he nuisances of that specific court proved critical in my case receiving a very favorable outcome. Karin and her office simultaneously developed several courses of action while preparing for my case. She communicated early and often with the prosecutors office and ensured they had all pertinent information prior to the court date. Never did I feel like "just another client". She took a personal interest in the case, my family and our well being. It is without hesitation that I strongly recommend Karin. She has definitely earned the over 150 outstanding comments to date. Thank you, Karin!!!!
