I have been working with Julia Ovando for over 3 years. She has provided excellent services and put her excellent knowledge of Child Welfare on full display. Ms. Ovando is efficient, culturally sensitivity, resourceful. When representing client(s) (either parent’s counsel or GAL) she helps her client’s understand the CPS/criminal/legal/court process, barriers and opportunities. She advocates for her client’s best interest. She works well with other providers. I highly recommend Julia Ovando and look forward to continue working with her.

My experience of Julia Ovando has been not as a client but as a colleague who finds her professional, easy to deal with, and responsive to inquiries, and very knowledgeable about family and juvenile law.

Ms. Ovando is smart, professional and highly experienced in family law.

She is an excellent custody attorney I highly recommend them professionally Julia Ovando

Julia was very prepared. Her line of attack was to use the Judge's biases to achieve a positive result. Her arguments were clear and concise. The results were much better than we could have ever hoped. When the Judge strayed off topic she was able to set him on the right track again. Also she got half of the charges dismissed, which was a huge help. I hope I don't ever have to use her services again. But if I do, I will.

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.

William Turner is nothing short of a life saver. You will not find a better defense attorney in Arlington County, especially in the domain of DUI charges. It is impossible to summarize all the reasons why into a couple sentences, so I will start by saying I fully support the key points of reviews already posted. Bill’s reputation is backed not just by reviews here, but by members of the Arlington Judicial system. On the day of my release from Jail in March 2020, the shift Sergeant who I talked to previously about my case literally said “Wow, you clearly had the best lawyer for your situation” as I walked out the door serving 1 month instead of 12. Many other jail guards knew him by name as a former Arlington prosecutor, and immediately viewed me with new credibility (to the extent possible in jail of course) and stated he was one of the top defense attorneys in the county. Clearly Bill’s experience and professionalism are unmatched, however it is the extra mile he goes for his clients that sets him further apart from his peers. Through my own negligent behavior, I called on Bill for representation more than once. Each time, he was straight-forward, honest and didn’t sugar-coat anything with false-hope. He took extra time each time we met, including close to an hour visit at 8 PM on a Wednesday after already putting in a full day of caseload while I was locked-up. Additionally, he called my parents in Chicago multiple times late at night to assure them I was in good hands. Obviously, you don’t want to need a defense attorney, but when you do, that is not the time to be bargain shopping. Bill’s fees are on the high-end for a reason, you get what you pay for. Freedom and getting back to a better life is priceless.

Rex was extremely responsive and professional throughout this entire process! I know it was not easy to deal with a case during COVID-19 and with all the court closings but Rex did everything in his power to move this action along and get the desired outcome and for that I will never be more grateful! I truly truly appreciate everything you have done for me in these past few months!

Should you find that you need legal representation, I strongly encourage you to consider Ms. Karin Porter. I can not say enough about her representation and support for me personally. I was referred to Ms. Porter when I found myself in some legal trouble. She responded to my voice message that very afternoon and I immediately felt reassured. Ms. Porter was extremely encouraging from the very beginning. She answered my questions honestly and encouraged me to take my time in making a decision. When we met personally, she was friendly, optimistic, and presented a clear plan for moving forward. The outcomes for me were extremely positive and I can't thank her enough. Ms. Porter is an open, honest, responsive, and extremely competent attorney. I'm fortunate to have chosen her.

I and my wife have spent almost two weeks searching for a professional attorney who could help us. My wife has a clean record and all of a sudden, she was charged with Grand Larceny. That charge was about to negatively affect her life. We had met with many attorneys and we could not feel comfortable with any attorney to help. Eventually, Attorney William Turner was recommended as a very professional and passionate to help clients. I went and met Attorney William Turner who was very sincere and passionate from the first place. We hired him the same day. Attorney William Turner heard our story and believed in my wife’s innocence. William Turner explained the charge to us and broke down the sequences of the allegations. At the same time, he clearly explained his expectations which were all positive. Attorney William Turner sat a strategy for us and followed through till the end. Attorney William Turner was very responsible and communicative. He answered all our questions and he was willing to meet with us when necessary. We had some kind of deal that ultimately the case will be dismissed next year. We were in your shoes once and we know how it feels when an innocent person faces serious allegations. I don’t like to write reviews at all, but I am just trying to save your life or your loved once. Attorney William Turner is the one to go to. Though Attorney William Turner is very knowledgeable of the law and has a solid experience with the law, yet he is down to earth and pleasant to work with. Though my wife’s background culture is different but we have not felt any different. The contrary is true, he treated us will all respect. Most importantly, Attorney William Turner is passionate to fight for you no matter what. It is very rare to find such character with so many attorneys out there. Attorney William Turner is professional, competent, confident, easy to get along with and passionate to fight for you. All my appreciation and thanks to Attorney William Turner. I wish you all the best.

Karins partner, Mary Nerino helped me reach the best possible outcome with my second DWI. Would highly recommend their services to anyone with any similar problems. Beyond satisfied!
