As an out of state driver, when I was charged with speeding while visiting family in Fairfax, I knew that I would need help. Karin was one of several lawyers that I considered retaining. During my free consultation I could tell that she would be the best defense attorney to work with. Every defen...se attorney I spoke with highlighted that - beyond the law and the facts of the case - the outcome would also be influenced by the people involved (e.g., the Officer, Prosecutor, Judge, etc.). Karin is a former prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia - and so her network and deep understanding of the people involved was incredibly helpful to me. Beyond that, Karin is everything you would expect from your attorney: attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and tough (in a good way). I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and thankful to Karin for her support. I would absolutely recommend her for your defense needs!

I was recently defended by Karin in a criminal defense case. As a medical professional I had a lot on the line. Needless to say any kind of charges or arrest records would have jeopardized my professional licensure. Karin's cool, calm and collected approach instantly put my nerves at ease. During the... months leading to my trial, she was no less than fabulous. She was very responsive to my phone calls and answered all of my questions. I was fortunate to have her represent my case. My charges were dropped and I am eligible for an expungement. A situation that could have done irreparable harm to my career is now just a bad memory. When you hire Karin you are buying peace of mind and that is worth every cent. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to a friend or family member.

Facing frightening, embarrassing, and unfamiliar legal options, attorney Karin Porter and her office handled my case objectively and professionally. I was very happy with the outcome of my case, and owe it to her guidance, experience, and advocacy. I can recommend her to anyone in need of a fighting ...chance before the courts.

Ms. Porter was excellent. Our son was arrested for possession of marijuana found in his vehicle parked at night on school property in Fairfax county. This was a first offense and she told us exactly what to do. We followed her instructions and she presented our case to the prosecutor and the case ...was dismissed and eligilble for expungement! We are beyond thrilled. We would definitely hire her again. She is a class act and also made our son and us feel very confident in her abilities. We showed up on the trial day and she took care of the rest. Thank you Karin!

The bottom line up front: hire Karin. She got my drunk in public case dismissed through discussions and negotiations with the prosecuting attorney the morning of my hearing before my court appearance. She obviously has great command of the system, the process, and relationships to deliver the best ou...tcome I could have hoped for through the dismissal. Her knowledge and expertise were obvious, as she advised me to collect evidence and document my defense to support my case. I would highly recommend Karin and would hire her again if needed.
