Karin Riley Porter Criminal Defense Attorney

Tatiana represented a friend of mine in a complicated matter after my friend had bad luck with another attorney. Tatiana was a lot easier to work with than the other attorney was, and made my friend's situation more manageable. She seemed to actually care about the case results instead of just collecting her fee and forgetting about it. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and if I ever needed representation in a criminal matter, I would confidently choose Tatiana.

I referred a friend to Tatiana and she did a wonderful job. In fact, it was her first client. While the representation has ceased, my friend still raves about how hard Tatiana worked for her. In court, Tatiana was well prepared and the client did not question whether Tatiana had her bests interests in mind. I have worked with attorneys for nearly 20 years and only a few appeared to be born for the profession; Tatiana is one of those attorneys.

I have known Rocco Columbus since we started law school together in 2003. Rocco is a fine lawyer and he possesses a fiery and competitive soul. He is a hard-working, dedicated advocate for his clients. If you need legal representation in a criminal or traffic matter in Virginia Beach, I would highly recommend Rocco

Tatiana Mendez has been my attorney for almost a year. She has always been available through text or by phone whenever I have had a question or concern regarding my case. Her work is thorough and prompt and greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her services.

Tatiana is well respected among her colleagues and is known for her wonderful client relations. She's hardworking, diligent, and a wonderful attorney to correspond with as her responses are always prompt. She vigorously defends her clients while remaining respectful of the Judges, not always an easy task.

I had a lot of detailed legal questions and Mrs. Tatiana Mendez was able to quickly provide me with answers, along with realistic approaches to go about solving issues in the Virginia courts system. She explained what different legal words and actions meant in plain language to ensure I was following her during our conversations, rather than just talk a bunch of legal talk and have her client lost, which has definitely happened to me before! What I really appreciated is she informed me of several options, but then told me which ones would likely be worth it based off VA's tendencies and the cost involved. Having a lawyer experienced in the state your case is in is extremely important for reasons like this. Every state has their tendencies which are helpful to be aware of. She patiently answered all my counter questions, cleared up some confusions I had and even gave me instructions on how to try and handle some of the issues myself to make the process more cost effective. I was grateful to have someone care to take the time to make sure I understood everything and guide me in the right direction. You really can't make a confident decision without being educated about the case at hand, and after working with Tatiana, I definitely have a better understanding, higher confidence about solving various legal issues, and if I run into any stops, I know she'll make herself available to help. I highly recommend her!

Working with Rocco was amazing! He was very attentive and listened to my needs. He was able to explain things to me in a clear way. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family.
