After reviewing several options for legal representation, I hired Karin Riley Porter to handle my reckless-driving/speed charge. She used her expertise with the prosecution, traffic court judges and numerous other cases to advise and defend me. She helped me pull together materials for my defense tha...t I would not have thought of on my own. She then used those to successfully negotiate a charge reduced to simple speeding. I would not hesitate to recommend Karin in the future. I hope I won't require her services a second time, but if I do, she'll be the first call I make.

Karin did an excellent job representing me on a charge of driving on a revoked DUI license. She explained the best strategy for addressing the violation with realistic alternative approaches to settling the charge. She also negotiated a best case final settlement with the District Attorney. She pr...epared the case very well so that we had our arguments and evidence ready.

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.

I hired Karin Riley Porter to represent me for a reckless driving charge. She immediately took control of the situation, helped calm my nerves, and laid down the path for me to follow in order to put me in the best position on the court date. She then negotiated with the prosecutor to have my charg...e reduced from a reckless to a simple speeding. Through out the process she was professional, courteous, and highly informative. I am very happy with the service she provided and glad I hired her to represent me.

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.
