Karin helped me get through one of the most stressful times in my life. From the initial consultation call, she put my mind at ease and I knew I was in good hands. She thoroughly explained the details of my case, what I was potentially facing, and was there to guide me every step of the way. I could...n't be happier now that it's all over!

Karin provided excellent representation for my case (alleged reckless driving in Virginia, i.e carefully placed speed trap in a federal jurisdiction). She was extremely knowledgeable about the process and provided clear direction on activities I could pursue in advance to present the best case to th...e court (even before I had hired her). Before and during the court session she was persistent and assertive in attempts to negotiate the best possible outcome. I thought she struck the right balance between being creative and being realistic, and in the end achieved the best possible outcome given the particular court and prosecutor.

Ms. Porter represented me when I was charged with public intoxication in Arlington. The charge was dismissed at my initial hearing, which was the outcome I sought. I’ve dealt with many lawyers in my professional endeavors, and my experience with Ms. Porter is the single-best I have had. She is smart,... capable, compassionate, confident and a true credit to the profession. I could not have been happier with her services, for several reasons. First, she was responsive. Even though she was out of the office on the day I called to inquire about her services, I received a return phone call to discuss my case about two hours after my initial message. Second, she had a plan to address the charge and obtain the outcome I desired. She had me begin work on the deliverables she requested right away. This made me feel as though I had some control over the process, which made me feel better. She provided feedback quickly when needed. Third, she frequently updated me on her progress and told me what to expect at key milestones. I did not have to reach out to her to learn what was happening. She projected calm and competence throughout. She answered questions when I had them. At no point did she ever make me feel as though as I was “on the clock” or that she was too busy to speak with me. That is a rare feeling when dealing with a lawyer. Finally, she obtained the best outcome for my situation. I’m forever grateful to her for her assistance and recommend her without reservation and with the greatest enthusiasm.

I got charged with a reckless driving at 20 over speed limit. I had a few other speeding infractions in the past. Ms. Porter was able to help me understand how the court process works and made me feel confident that we can get this charge dropped. The charge was reduced to a speed ticket from a reck...less :) Couldn't be happier with Ms.Porter's results!
