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.

Karin Porter is very competent and professional

Karin really knew her craft, because she got me down from a reckless driving for speeding to a 9 miles an hour over for speeding. She knew exactly how to leverage the advantages I had and lead to the lesser violation. It would have helped to have a little more description of what to expect, in terms ...of physical logistics, on the day of trial. For instance, I didn't realize that there is a vestibule inbetween the courtroom and the hallway where Karin worked with the prosecutor and the officer who ticketed me and that she would be there most of the time. But, then again, I am a very hands-on person, and yet I was extremely pleased with the outcome and her work in getting it done. I would definitely hire or recommend her again.

Excellent

Karin was incredible. I had a reckless driving ticket. Karin had existing knowledge of the judges Commonwealth Attorney. She knew exactly what to do and how to handle each of the scenarios that could possible occur. As a result, Karin helped to secure an extremely favorable judgement. Thank Karin... for the great work!

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.

First Class Lawyer

Ms. Porter successfully, expeditiously and professionally fought a reckless driving charge I had obtained. Having such a charge on my record would have severely impacted my work and my security clearance. Ms. Porter handled everything and I didn't have to cancel or delay my trip to Puerto Rico beca...use Ms. Porter appeared in court on my behalf. Thank you Ms. Porter, if ever I am in need of your services again, I am glad that you are just a phone call...email...or text away. :-)
