Outstanding Representation

Karin Porter has extensive experience as an Attorney at law and as a former prosecutor in Virginia. This extensive experience and high level of integrity to the client as well as empathy towards the client makes Karen an effective representative on your behalf. Karen not only met my expectation b...ut exceeded them. I was charged with reckless driving and I have never been charge with anything in my life. I was squarely looking at a misdemeanor charge for speeding and criminal record at 52 years of age. With a cold sweat on my forehead, I researched attorneys over the internet. I choose Karin based on how she represented herself on the company website and the fact she has 9 year of experience as a prosecutor in Virginia. Her flat fee service was a little bit higher to other attorneys but I justified it by the fact she has prosecutor experience of nine years. Upon signing the agreement with the law firm, I was given several tasks to complete which kept me busy and gave Karin extra options as the court day approached. I met with Karen before the court date to go through my case and then worked with Karin on my court day to discuss procedures and strategy. One nice part of have representation is that I did not have to go to the court room by myself and be called up by the judge. I do recommend to go into the court room to listen in to the cases going on to get a feel of the court room while Karin is working with the prosecutor and police officer in another room. Karin was able to plea deal just a simple speeding ticket which I agreed to. I signed a blue form. Karin and I went into the court room where the blue paper was given to the judge and just like that I was next on the docket with my plea deal and out of Fairfax court system in an hour and half.

Dedicated, and hard working lawyer lead to great outcome

Mrs. Porter, is a very hard working, thorough, and professional lawyer, with great ethics. She is very dedicated to providing the best representation to clients. She was prompt to respond to questions, during preparation for court. She was extremely clear about what I needed to do for my case. I ful...filled her requirements, and by doing so was able to avoid jail, and loosing my license. I had a bad driving record, and the prosecutor only knew about one of the three violations. Mrs. Porter knew not to show my printed record which would have shown the other violations. This was significant as well in the success of the outcome of the hearing. During the court case, I became very stressed, and she did a terrific job to help ease stress, and make the process easy. I would and have recommended her to people so far. She does not just represent clients, she cares about them. I passed out in court after the hearing, and she waited with me until medic crews arrived. She also followed up to see how I was doing. I am very happy with the outcome of the hearing. I got exactly what I wanted and more.

An Excellent Attorney

I found Ms. Karin Porter to be an excellent and very professional attorney. She was very responsive to me as a client. Her staff was the same. She told me, from the very beginning, exactly what documents to get and prepare and what to do about my vehicle and my driver's license. I followed her instr...uctions to the letter. On my court date, she skillfully negotiated with the prosecutor and police officer and had my charges reduced to speeding. There were no hidden costs. She was extremely pleasant and a delight to work with. I recommend her very strongly to any potential client and wish her continuing success.

No Charges Filed

I hired Karin to represent me pre-arrest / pre-indictment while being investigated for a felony sexual assault crime in Fairfax County that I did not commit. She was diligent, thorough and professional. She knows the Fairfax County legal system and Virginia Sex Crimes law better than any other lawy...er in Fairfax County. Her discussions with Fairfax County Law Enforcement and her knowledge of the Commonwealth Attorneys office made a real difference in their decision not to file charges against me. She gave me my life back.
