Amazing lawyer

I recently hired Karin to represent me in traffic court for an excessive speeding/wreckless charge. Karin was a pleasure to work with and beyond professional. A great lawyer and person.

Excellent representation

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.

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.

Happy with outcome. Go ahead and hire her

She represented me in 2 misdeamnor cases. One was dropped at I risk hearing because they didn’t have a case at all. She negotiated the second to be dropped down to a minor violation of an ordinance. She responded within minutes/hours when I had questions or wanted to send strategy ideas which I appre...ciate greatly. I decided to retain her for civil case as well. I am happy to recommend her. Good luck with your case.

The best in the business -- passionate, committed and extremely knowledgable. Hire her and you'll be happy you did afterward.

A cut above the rest -- if you're interested in giving yourself the best chance of winning, look no further/hire Ms. Porter. I had heard great things, and set the bar high as a result, yet somehow Ms. Porter's performance in the courtroom, overall knowledge, commitment to and communication with he...r clients far exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, though, she wins/attains the best possible result. Not getting into details, but I got the best result possible. Not only that, she even found a circuit court case that was very similar/applied to my case. Of course no one "expects" to win, and everyone's case/situation is different, so take what I wrote with a grain of salt. But Ms. Porter will give you the greatest chance to get the best possible result, and if you're attempting to defend yourself (rather than settling for a plea), then that's what you want to shoot for. Meeting with her a few times leading up to my court date helped calm me down/destress me a bit, which I really appreciated. She won't placate you (which is good), but she will give you an honest and insightful take as to what you can expect in court. I was actually in awe as I watched her defend me in court. Her passion for justice, commitment to her clients and overall knowledge of the law+court system is why she's one of the best in the business.
