I had received a Reckless Driving ticket which was requiring me to attend court and face charges. She managed to get the conviction down to driving 74 in a 65 zone. Totally amazing really given the possible seriousness of the incident. I can't thank her enough for the succinct information I received ...throughout the process, as I was clueless. She handled the case confidently and with professionalism. Yes I came up with some ideas on how to handle the case, but ultimately I followed the professional. Thats why you pay a good lawyer - they know the system and you need to trust in their professionalism and experience on how to handle the case. I'm extremely satisfied with the engagement and followup I received ensuring that we could close out the case once a judgement had occurred. Again, I can't thank her enough for the work performed.

As a government civilian serving in the intelligence community, a criminal conviction would put my security clearance at risk and could ultimately cost me my career. Ms. Medvin knew immediately the severity of the situation and what I had to lose. Ms. Medvin displayed confidence and concern while w...orking tirelessly on my case. We met several times and she was always flexible with my schedule and always found time to take my calls. She put my mind at ease from the start and followed through with a level of intensity and professionalism that truly impressed me. Ms. Medvin was able to have my case dismissed with a simple fine and no jail time. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her hard work and dedication. Because of Ms. Medvin I am able to continue doing a job that I love and provide for my family.

I am an intelligent professional who has never been in trouble with the law nor close to being arrested in my entire life. I've always had the greatest respect for Police Officers until this one. I was horrified and shocked when I was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct in Public and Resis...ting Arrest. My boyfriend is a big guy and body builder who witnessed the entire event and was my witness. I’m a tall, thin 55 yr. old woman. The taller than me young Officer panicked for some reason and called for backup. 15 police cars showed up to find me in handcuffs sitting on the ground. I had to go in front of the Magistrate twice. The first time it was obvious to the Magistrate the young Officer couldn't figure out why he had arrested me either. Being at odds with the police and going to Court is a terribly helpless and frightening experience in and of itself. Not having a strong, competent attorney who will fight for your rights all the way would make it a never ending nightmare. After speaking with multiple attorneys, and much research, I hired Marina to defend me in this Criminal Case. Thankfully, I made the right choice in Marina. I knew I was in good hands the moment I met her. She is an experienced attorney who is smart, polished and knowledgeable and a complete pleasure to work with. Her calming presence combined with her accessibility and responsiveness is comforting to anyone in a difficult legal situation. I’m in awe of her passion for her clients’ rights and knowledge of the jurisdictions in which she practices. She knew of this officer’s previous questionable actions. She had knowledge and prior experience with the prosecutors and the judges. This knowledge gave me even more confidence in her abilities to defend me and was invaluable in her guiding me through the legal process and structuring my defense. My charges were dropped by the Prosecutor, of whom Marina had first-hand knowledge and experience defending her clients against. I will be eternally grateful to Marina. If I ever need an attorney again, she will be my one and only call. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of an excellent attorney. Thank you, Marina!

Marina’s focus and representation resulted in the best possible outcome that I could hope for, case dismissed. I found Marina by searching on the Internet and reading the materials posted on her website. During the initial consultation, Marina explained me very clearly her recommendations for my case... and I decided to select her with no hesitation when I had in mind discussions with two other highly ranked lawyers from Northern Virginia. I am very pleased and honored to realize that Marina is simply the best and outstanding attorney, admiring every aspect of her work for my case. She was always able to communicate clearly plans and actions, available anytime to speak and answer to any questions.

I found Marina Medvin to be incredibly combative and cold to me during the time we were attempting to establish a relationship. Her unprofessional conduct included yelling at me for cooperating with law enforcement and continuously telling me that she could no longer speak to me unless I paid her in ...full (she refused a payment plan and later agreed to $500.00 upfront with the remainder of the balance within several days. She accompanied me to my arraignment and as soon as the judge began to call names, she walked away from me in a move to show she did not represent me. Ultimately I decided the following day that this relationship was not going to work. I informed her of such and requested my $500.00 back. She attempted to keep the funds from me and I had to argue contract law to her and warn her that the Bar Association considers this type of action a severe ethical violation and I would be forced to report her actions. She quickly refunded the money. I'm a well educated person with a successful business who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Holding a government clearance, I was seeking someone supportive and professional. Unfortunately Marina Medvin was anything but this. Not recommended.
