Felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor.

Karin was efficient and professional. I wanted a dismissal or an acquittal. But after key evidence was wrongly destroyed by another party, Karin explained to me all of my choices. I believe I made the best choice. I couldn't have done this well without Karin's expertise.

Very helpful

I hired Karin after speaking with her over the telephone for the first time because she was immediately the most helpful out of all the lawyers I had spoken to. Karin informed me of everything I need to know and what I should do leading up to my court case. She was also the quickest to respond to all... of my inquiries. My original charge was a reckless speeding ticket, and my driving record is not good at all to begin with, so I was pretty worried leading up to my court hearing. Despite my dismal driving record, Karin was able to reach the best deal possible given my circumstances. My reckless speeding was amended to a regular speeding and I paid a much smaller fine than what I had originally predicted it might be. Overall I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and with Karin's legal services.

Relieved Client

Karin was extremely helpful in dealing with my DWI case. She kept me informed throughout the process and was always on-call to answer any questions I had, even after the trial was over. Her knowledge of the process and experience in Arlington courtrooms were tremendous assets for me and my family. I... trusted her judgement completely and given the circumstances of my case, I am confident that she got the best result possible.

Karin R. Porter- reckless driving in VA

I am an out of state resident who received a reckless driving charge for 90/55 in Fairfax county. Not knowing the area, I panicked when I received the summons, and, after reading about what could happen to me as a result of the reckless, I was even more panicked at the thought of a criminal charge an...d a licencse suspension. I sought out a lawyer to help me with me case, and came across Ms. Porter. I decided to call the office to gather information, and everyone at the firm was extremely nice, and very quick to respond to any emails or phone calls that I had reguarding my case. Karin gave me her direct email and number to get a hold of her at any time, and she always responded very fast to my questions. She made sure I understood what could happen, and made sure that I was well prepared for my case. I ended up having to go to court twice (after taking a continuance the first time), and both times she prepared me and made sure I had proper documents to help me with my case. Iin the end, my case went to trial, and the judge ended up dismissing my charges completely, and I was found not guilty- thanks to Karin and her awesome skills in the court room. I was EXTREMELY satisfied and impressed by the outcome, and I would not hesistate to use her as my lawyer again if needed!!
