Extremely satisfied with her representation

Karen Riley Porter is the best Attorney that has represented me for my trial. I have been very satisfied with amount of work she put in within a very short period of time to represent me at my trial. The level of professionalism, self belief, and the time she spent communicating about any questions... while preparing, investigating and going through each detail along with her superior knowledge of law was truly satisfying for me to gain confidence to prove my innocence even with the odds were totally against my favor. Regardless of the outcome, In my eyes, I know she has proven my actions were justifiable. I want to sincerely thank her and her team to finally bringing a closure that I have sought for year and half. I can finally leave it all behind me and move on to do greater things. She worked very hard for my case. Me and my family have known her to be very passionate about her work in turning the case in her client's favor or getting the best plea deal possible. Within my experience, I have seen many trials in my previous line of work and I can proudly claim that she is the best attorney that has represented me comparing to what I have seen on different trials.

Very professional and an easy recommendation

I had a reckless driving and 30+ mph speeding ticket in Virginia. I spoke with and met Karin to discuss and found her to be very knowledgeable about the issue and honest about what to expect during the process. She explained the steps I should take prior to the court date and always responded to my... questions promptly. In court, she got the reckless dismissed and I had only a $75 fine for the other ticket. I am glad that I had her as my attorney and would recommend her and her firm to anyone.

Intoxication in Public

I was out of town in Arlington County, VA and was arrested for the alleged offense of "Intoxicatation in Public". After being released, I had to go back home out of the state. It was going to be nearly impossible for me to make it to my initial appearance. I immediately searched the internet for the ...right attorney to help with this dilemma. I searched for hours until I came across Karin Riley Porter, Attorney at Law. I was totally impressed by her reviews so I contacted her for a consultation. Karin was extremely personable and showed a genuine interest in my case. She took her time explaining all of the possible outcomes and drafted a possible plan of action to represent me in my absence. She did all of this before I even retained her. At that point I felt I had found the person I was looking for and hired her. We went over the plan of action again in detail and we both went to work on my case. Yes you read that correctly, I also went to work on this case. Karin layed out all of the things I could do in the mean time to better my position in this case. We kept great communication throughout the process and there was never a moment where I felt uninformed. Even though she had other clients, Karin and her assistant Sarah always found time for me. They made me feel like my case was a personal interest of theirs. Karin was super confident the entire time. She was realistic, honest, and never gave me any false promises. She was also very knowledgeable and I could tell she had a tremendous amount of experience. After her tireless efforts, she helped me reach the best possible outcome. There were other outcomes some attorneys might have settled for but she instead chose not to give up until she reached the best possible disposition. She literally fought an uphill battle and came out triumphant. I truly thank her for everything she did. Her hard work helped restore many damages caused by the arrest. Though I don't plan on putting myself in a position to require her assistance, I would definitely use her services again. Thank you again.

Karin Porter

If you are reading reviews about lawyers, then you are emotionaly where I was few months ago - Nervous, anxious and even confused with all the unknown surrounding you in a battle-field called the Law. Karin’s reviews were all positive and told me that she is a great lawyer, but action speaks louder ...than words. And that is exactly what she was - all action. In addition to her confidence, knowledge of the law, and strategic understanding of how best to navigate the proceedings, she kept me calm and optimistic, and she never forgot my human face and need in the swirl of legal battle. Having her next to me all the time helped me to gain back my own confidence . I certainly hope that I will not need legal representation again, but for all of you searching for legal help, I have two words for you – “KARIN PORTER.” Wishing you all the best.

Ms. Porter is an extremely competent and professional attorney who I would not hesitate to recommend to my closest family, friends, and colleagues. I received a citation for failing to maintain control of my vehicle. When consulting with Ms. Porter I found that she was very detailed-oriented. Af...ter hiring her, she recommended a course of action to prepare for my court date. I followed her advice, and she was able to get my case dismissed! Ms. Porter is highly knowledgeable and aggressively defended my case. She is also very personable. Although I hope I never need her services again, if I did I would certainly hire her. I wouldn't even consider hiring another attorney. Thank you for all that you do Ms. Porter!
