The lawyer you need!

I was charged with a 2nd DUI in 5 to 10 years with Refusal but Ms. Medvin worked to reduce it to a DUI 1st offense with 2 days in jail and mandatory minimum fines with ASAP classes and a restricted license for a year. My Refusal charge was also dropped. I did a lot of research to find a lawyer that w...ould defend me best since my case had a few complications. Ms. Medvin was the first one to call me back and email me. After reading her reviews, I decided to hire her to represent me. I was worried sick about what would happen to my life and that I would be in jail for a long time and have no license for 3 years. Ms. Medvin replied to every email that I sent her in time and returned my phone calls. She is very understanding, knowledgeable and clearly takes her work seriously. Once I met with her, I was able think more optimistically about my situation rather than stay stressed out. I would recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation.

Best criminal defense attorney

I had two grand larceny charges and during the preliminary hearing one was dropped and the other was reduced to a misdemeanor. With no jail time .The case had immigration complications too and she kept that as her focus all along right from the beginning .Ms Marina'sintelligence, focus and due delige...nce only helped me achieve these results . If you ever need a criminal defense lawyer then she is the one to go to without a doubt. She was very prompt in replying to all my questions and doubts at all times, whether it was day or night, 7 days a week she was there to help me with my case . I couldn't have gotten a better attorney and thankyou Ms Marina as I owe it all to you .

The best.

From top to bottom, Marina is an incredible attorney that takes great pride in what she does, and does it very well. At all times throughout the process she was accessible, responsive, and caring. Despite the odds being against me, and despite my own initial missteps in dealing with the police, Marin...a produced the ideal outcome (all charges dismissed). While I couldn't venture to say she could manifest such an exceptional result in every circumstance, I can confidently say she would produce the best result possible for any person undertaking her services. I would recommend her to anyone with the greatest level of enthusiasm and conviction.

THE lawyer to call!!

My family and friends jokingly call me "Officer Safety" because I'm so rigid about following the law and I have such a spotless driving record. So when I was charged with reckless driving for not stopping for a school bus, I was terrified. I called Marina the day after I was charged and her calm, pro...fessional demeanor immediately put me at ease. She was very clear about the seriousness of the charges against me, and she never promised me any particular outcome. As the mom of a child with multiple disabilities, I was very worried about the possibility of jail time or loss of my driver's license. Marina gave 150% effort to my case and put forward the strongest defense possible. In the end, it was a good thing I hired such a skilled attorney: the police officer had a very different version of the events surrounding my case, and without Marina's advocacy on my behalf, it would have been impossible to get him to agree to an amended charge. Marina was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to amend the charge to a traffic infraction with a $250 fine. Put Marina's contact info in your address book today. I hope you never need to call a criminal defense attorney but if you do, you should have Marina's number at the ready. She was a Godsend to me and I'll forever be grateful to her.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Medvin applied her expertise and knowledge defending me in a criminal assault case, resulting in the best possible solution to a difficult situation. I was very impressed with her willingness to work tirelessly on the case.
