Wonderful and professional

Karin was great from start to finish in my case. She took time to walk me through the process and answer all of my concerns. She explained what I needed to do to provide to best outcome for my case and on court day was wonderful in helping me understand the process from beginning to end.

Possession charge

My daughter is from out of state and while visiting Virginia was charged with possession. I hired Karin to defend her and could not be happier with the results. From the first free consultation to the goodbye after the court date, Karin was very professional yet has a personal way about her that wa...s very comforting to us. She clearly knows the law and the process very well and had a few creative ideas on how to potentially get the charges dismissed. Ultimately my daughter did not want to fight the charges and yet Karin was able to get the charge reduced and settled for a very reasonable fine. The outcome was much better than we had expected.

Great!

Karen handled everything for me in my reckless driving case. I am not from the state and yes, this is a total money maker for the state. With that being said it is a huge help to get an attorney. She instructed me everything to do including, driver improvement classes and some other things. From ther...e she explained I did not have to even show up to court. I was able to get my reckless reduced to 74 in a 55 with a 100 dollar fine which is just a basic speeding ticket. She was very responsive and assured me she would handle everything. Definitely hire her.

A Painless Experience

I was charged with Reckless Driving by Speed, a criminal offense in Virginia punishable by $2,500 fine and up to a year in jail. The charge frightened me, especially because I'd never been stopped before. Karin reassured me not to worry, but of course that hard to do. I met Karin about an hour before... my scheduled hearing. She went through what would happen that day in a way that I could easily understand. When I first spoke with her, she didn't strong-arm me to hire her for representation. I appreciated that and the fact that she made things clear to me in layman's terms. I had two choices for a plea deal - either Speeding or Improper Driving. She explained the difference between them and the impact they would have on my license and insurance. She made sure I was well informed before I decided on a plea. I HIGHLY recommend Karin. Aside from getting the job done, she has a reassuringly warm personality. I hope never to use her services again, but if I'm ever in a bind like this, I'm certainly giving her a call.

DUI 2nd

I was charged with several offenses back in Feb 2016, namely DUI 2nd, Refusal to breathalyzer, and driving on revoked. I researched numerous Lawyers and was bombarded with mail from lawyers all over the area to obtain their services. It's a stressful process and after weeding out the awful representa...tion out in the are who just look at you like $$$ I decided on Karin and it was the best decision I made after my DUI arrest. I knew I would surely be facing jail time and also having a history with the law let me know i was definitely going to be incarcerated for awhile. After contacting Karin, she was a breath of fresh air and formulated a strategy/ game planned like i have never seen before. She cared to know how i felt and that i was aware of the many challenges we would face as well as the outcomes of whatsoever decision i wanted to make. Weeks and days leading up to my court date Karin kept me abreast of my case as well as constant contact and assured me she would do everything in her power to do her best. The day of my court case she gave it to me in black/white with no BS and advised me that we didn't have the best judge and the prosecuting attorney was one of the worst to face in the court system. She again had another game plan in place and was well prepared which totally put me at ease because the whole attending court can seem like a roller coaster of emotions, I could tell she had plans B, C and D as a backup should it not go our way. Long story short, once we had our turn on the docket my DUI was bought down to a DUI 1st and the other 2 charges were thrown OUT! I did not have to do any jail time and was able to get my license restricted once i completed my ASAP. Karin is simply the BEST in her profession and i highly recommend her to any one who is facing a DUI or alcohol related offense.
