Excellent Outcome with Minimal Time to Prepare

Ms. Medvin had minimal time to prepare for my case but she did so flawlessly and was able to help me get the outcome I needed. Even after the case was over, she still made it a point to get in touch with me and give me further legal advice on how to help my record. I highly recommend Ms. Medvin for l...egal representation.

Recommended for representation in Northern VA

I recommend Ms. Medvin for representation in Northern Virginia without any reservations. She represented me in a DUI case, and she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She made sure that I clearly understood each step of the process, and was willing to answer all questions I had along... the way. She is extremely accessible and responsive, and her response time to emails, calls and texts throughout the process was nothing less than prompt. Although the courts in Northern Virginia are quite conservative in these cases, she did everything to make sure that I received fairness and justice in my case. She followed up after the initial ruling was made and didn't leave anything unfinished. She has a great working relationship with the judges and commonwealth attorneys/prosecutors, and has enough experience with them as well as the police officers to give you the best representation. She is personable and very nice, she takes her time, and is thoughtful in how she interacts with and how she represents her clients. Equally important she was very realistic throughout the whole process and never promised me anything she couldn't deliver on. Overall my experience with Ms. Medvin was the more than I could have asked for, she exceeded all expectations.

Couldn't be happier

I fully endorse Ms. Medvin. She did astounding work on my behalf when at times it seemed that things would not end up well. Her professionalism, attention to detail and passion for my case was top notch since the beginning. She was extremely responsive -- even late at night or on weekends. Ms. Medvin... realized how important this matter was to me and got an even better result than I expected. Because of her efforts, I have a misdemeanor and no jail time instead of a felony.

Medvin: Case Dropped for a Nasty Ticket, Passing School Bus, Jail-able Offense

Passing a School Bus can be very bad in VA, as there are apparently two versions of it in terms of whether a just a payable ticket or a jail-able offense akin to Reckless Driving. I of course received the steeper version of the violation by the polite but uncertain policeman. I could get up to a yea...r in Jail and/or a steep fine past $1000, I was told by the court. Even though I knew I did not violate this, I was just going to pay the fine since I could not easily be present for the trial. The court would not allow my handling this remotely, where they stated I had to appear even though I live in another state since this is such a bad offense. Attending potentially 3 court appearances would obviously be difficult for me. I did get to VA for the arraignment, but needed a lawyer I could trust to attend the subsequent hearing(s) and trial on my behalf and use skills to argue that I didn't pass that school bus or endanger any kids. Medvin excelled in getting the case dropped during the first hearing. Very impressive. I hereby recommend Marina Medvin's legal services.

Reckless Driving Reduced to Speeding

After being charged with reckless driving for the 3rd time, I hired Marina Medvin to represent me. She was very knowledgable about my situation and advised me on what to do, such as obtaining my driving history and taking an online driving course. Also, I never had to go to court...she handled that... so that I didn't have to miss work. We used email to correspond and she was quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend her.
