Marina Medvin is a wonderful defense attorney. Before hiring Marina, I spoke with an attorney who had successfully handled a different matter for our family a couple of years ago. I chose Marina instead because she actually had a strategy for getting the charge dropped in a best case scenario or, ...if that didn't work, modified to a different type of offense that would permit the original charge to be expunged, which was very important to me. She viewed accepting the first-time offender's program, which was being pushed by the other attorney, as a worst case outcome since accepting that arrangement would mean the charge could not be expunged. Marina recommended completing the community service and class requirements for the first-time offender's program in advance of the court date, which would strengthen her argument that the case shouldn't be prosecuted. Her strategy worked beautifully, and the charge was dropped. I can't tell you how relieved we were with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Marina to anyone needing a defense attorney in Fairfax. She's resourceful and will craft an excellent defense to achieve the best possible outcome on your behalf.

I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin! I was charged with a DUI after having failed a field sobriety test and a field breathalyzer reading of 0.19. At the police station I had a BAC of 0.14. I am a young professional who has physical limitations which had hindered my ability to properly c...arry out the field sobriety test. In addition, my career would be in jeopardy should a criminal DUI conviction were to be on my record. Initially I had sought legal counsel from an attorney who appeared on a quick web search. After retaining this law firm, discussing my case and meeting with this attorney; I quickly knew this firm didn't have my best interest at heart. I learned of Marina Medvin after dissolving my relationship with my previous counselor, and I am thankful I had done so! Immediately I saw a difference. Attorney Medvin introduced herself as Marina and after a few minutes of discussing my predicament with her, I felt at ease. She is professional, extremely well-educated, personable and brilliant in every regard to say the least! She took my case and had presented me with all of the information necessary to help me. Over the next next several months, she was available to answer any questions and address all concerns I had throughout this process. She was my advocate and truly diligent every step of the way. I had received a new position which required a background check, I had made Marina aware of this, within minutes she responded and drafted a letter to present to my employer; in-short securing my new position. On the day of the trial, she was unsastisfied with the circumstances and successfully argued a continuance, which was accepted. Her professionalism in the courtroom and the respect she commands from prosecutors and judges, truly speaks for itself. After one month we were heard before a judge who is notoriously apathetic. Marina bargained with the prosecution and presented our case diligently and eloquently. I had won a victory by avoiding a criminal charge of a DUI which had been reduced to a reckless driving! A victory of which she received accolades from her fellow colleagues as we were exiting the courthouse. If ever I were to thank someone and owe them for my future, it is Marina Medvin, Esq. This was and hopefully my only indiscretion with the judicial system, but for any reason I or anyone I cared for, were to find themselves in a nightmare like this; I would only trust Marina to take care of me or someone dear to me. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin, Esq.!

I retained Marina to defend me in a domestic violence case. The charges had been brought up over my spouse's objection; Marina referred my spouse to a colleague for their own representation, leaving the prosecutor with no case. Marina's manner of consultation was reassuring and highly responsive, an...d she helped close the chapter on the ordeal with the minimal headache factor. Would absolutely recommend her.

Ms. Medvin advised and represented us in a larceny case. Throughout the several months from the charges to the actual court date, Ms. Medvin provided excellent guidance, was always available for consultation/advice, and was diligent in ensuring that we fully understood the situation and what to expec...t. She was caring and thoughtful, and we couldn't have asked for a more informed attorney. Due to Ms. Medvin's representation, the charges were reduced significantly and no jail time was required. The outcome was all we could have asked for, and full credit is due Ms. Medvin. We highly recommend her.

Starting Day 1, Marina was very direct and deliberate with her services. After a quick consultation with her over the phone and providing her with a more thorough intake on my incident and background, she offered excellent guidance on what my steps should be leading up to my court date. With her assi...stance, we were able to reduce my charge, amending a reckless driving of 85/55 down to a non-criminal speeding ticket with a fine of $250 (plus court costs). Very thankful and appreciative for Marina's help in my case! My case was continued twice--both times she was present on my behalf--and then I went in on the final date. She was able to take my case off the docket for negotiation--so on my court date, I only needed to wait in the cafeteria area while she negotiated with prosecutor--and then we both went into the courtroom together, and she respectfully spoke on my behalf. I did follow her insightful suggestions leading up to my court date, and am VERY confident to recommend her for relative cases. As the review title says, Marina is EXCELLENT, DEDICATED, DRIVEN, and DOWN-TO-EARTH! Marina is excellent--she is very professional, educated, and extraordinarily organized. Marina is dedicated--it seems like she would treat all of her cases as her most important case, with passionate commitment. Marina is driven--without a doubt in my mind, she did what she could to help me with my case, and she was ultimately successful. Marina is down-to-earth--in the most desirable way, she is upfront and realistically portrays all possible outcomes. I could not be much happier with the outcome of my case, and I know that I could not have achieved my outcome without the outstanding support of Marina Medvin, Esq. Thank you, Marina!
