We contracted Alene Sprano to help our son when he was faced with an FCPS Disciplinary Hearing that…read morewe felt constituted overreach by his high school administration. We are grateful to have secured her services as the stakes were very high and the timeline was exceedingly short. Her integrity and professionalism are unparalleled as were the energy and compassion she brought to representing him. She was clear and direct in all her communications, demanding full-investment from us that she matched three-fold. She keenly understands the VDOE and FCPS disciplinary processes and personalities and is savvy in her approach to her interactions with administrators; she also demonstrated thorough knowledge of federal, state, and local laws that she used to support our arguments. Ms. Sprano helped us keep our anger and expectations in check so we could focus on the matters at-hand -- getting our child back in school and their record remediated. She prioritized getting to know our son; as a result, he felt confident going into the hearing because he knew Ms. Sprano was at his side, ready-willing-able to fight for him. We can't believe that we initially hesitated getting representation because the school hearing was not a legal proceeding; the lack of legal protections in the FCPS process made it even more important to have counsel to protect him and preserve future post-secondary opportunities that could be impacted by a suspension on his record. #FCPS #schooldisciplinaryhearing #lawyerforkids

If you want the best possible outcome, save your time and Hire Attorney Karin Porter. I learned…read moreabout Karin after meeting her, that her lack of time during our initial call was due to her intense schedule. After we hired her...we quickly learned we made the right choice. She explained all the options more than once and she is very honest. I have worked inside the legal field for 29 years in many capacities and have close attorney friends of which some are considered the best at what they do. I had an opportunity to see Karin, methodically build her case under the radar and by the time all others realized where she took us, it was too late...case dismissed. I sate there with my mouth open in awe. I strongly recommend Karin if you want the best chance of winning & the best possible outcome.

I initially reached out to her for a consult and she took time out of her busy schedule to offer a free consult.

She helped take the stress off my shoulders. She is very professional and sympathetic to my situation. She made sure to get the best resolution/outcome for me. She helped me learn a lot from the protective order and all the legal processes that followed. She is very transparent, honest, and does not sugar coat anything.

Are they competent? I am sure they are. However, I believe we deserve representation from someone who is fired up for you, the way you are for yourself. My family recommends her to everyone! Can't say enough nice things. Do you think you don't need a lawyer? Maybe you don't and it'll all be fine if you prepare yourself for your court date. And at the same time, the peace of mind to entrust someone else to take care of things for you is invaluable. You might think to yourself, "well it's just traffic court". But it's the peace of mind to know someone has walked this path many times before you, and is certain of the direction to go. Sometimes we deserve to get to sit back and have someone take charge. Let Andi help you, help yourself. You can FEEL off of her an energy of someone who lights up doing their job. Pay for passion, pay for Andi.

Mr. Green is a very experienced and engaged professional who is a straight shooter, which I appreciate. After the free consultation, he laid out my possible defense options and outcomes. He walked me through what to expect for my court date, and I felt prepared and fully advocated for in his capable hands. I found his office to be very responsive to my needs, and my inquiries/communications were returned promptly. I find the few negative reviews on here to be curious compared to my contrasting experience, that perhaps these particular clients didn't receive the outcomes they had hoped for, but some things are simply not in an attorney's control and not every infraction will result in a consequence-free outcome! Regardless, I'm sure they fared far better than they would have without counsel or with a far less experienced attorney. So I'd take these outlier reviews with a huge helping of salt.
