Karin Riley Porter Attorney at Law

After a horrible experience, i hired Attorney Porter to represent me. She was extremely professional and kind. She made my entire process easy and helped me obtain an incredible ending. Best criminal defense attorney in the DMV. 10/10.

My experience with Ms. Karin Porter was beyond wonderful. She stayed on top of my case and was first to reach out to me when any news of my case or information was available. I never once had to chase her down nor wait for her to be available. It was very evident she was concerned with my case and getting the best outcome for me, which, truthfully she did. The outcome she was able to secure was completely unexpected, I wouldn’t even have dared to ask for the leniency that I received. Although, I feel it’s worth noting that I was doing any and everything that was expected of me to show remorse and genuine change since the time of being charged until court. For anyone wondering, I am no stranger to the judicial system, which is why I was taken back at the outcome. I’ve long ago surpassed and used up my “chances” to show that I deserve mercy, at least I felt like I had. I do believe I was able to show and prove to Ms. Porter that I am working at changing myself and becoming a productive member of society. So with that said, I believe that gave her more motivation to get the best offer she could for me. I could on and on, but, the highest compliment I can give is that I highly recommend her to anyone with the unfortunate happenstance to be at the mercy of the courts in Northern Virginia. Should I ever find myself in this situation again I will be hiring Ms. Porter, my money was well spent.

My experience was great. I felt welcomed with open arms and and able to work out my situation of my DUI and not getting any jail time that was my biggest concern and Mrs. Porter was able to make sure I didn't get any jail time. It was a great experience and great to have her as my attorney.

I came to Karin worried about my upcoming case. I’m not very experienced with these type of things and after one phone call with Karin Porter she made me, and my family feel much better and much safer. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is inexperienced with this sort of thing, or even if you are experienced. She is one of the best in the business. If you need legal representation, Karin Porter is the best option there is.

I was charged by Arlington County for something that all the sudden turned my world upside down. Immediately I began to reach out to multiple lawyers, some of whom I met in person and others who I called over the phone. I must admit it was stressful having to choose until I sat down with Mary. After our first encounter, I knew she had the fight in her I was looking for to win my case. Additionally, the price she quoted me for her services was in the same ballpark as other firms, but those other firms not come with the peace of mind that Mary provided. Communication throughout the process was abundant. We kept in touch via email/ text until my trail got closer. During the period of discovery we then switched to Zoom/ phone calls in order to respect the social distancing rules for COVID but to also ensure I had time to ask any questions that I had about my case. Mary was patient, thorough, and knowledgeable throughout the process of getting my case resolved. She even called the exact offer the prosecutor was going to give me before they had even made the offer! Of course it wasn't an offer I was willing to take, so we went to court which resulted in the judge finding me not guilty! If you are looking for someone who is going to fight for you in court as if they are fighting for themselves, then look no more. I truly cannot explain how happy I am that I went with Mary amongst all the other lawyers.
