Efficient and Effective

Marina was wonderful. I am a white-collar professional and had an Assault & Battery charge filed against me. The case was dropped by the Court thanks to Marina's work on my behalf. I have never had charges filed against me before and Marina was very friendly and professional in explaining exactly w...hat the whole defense process would be and then carrying out her plan. Many thanks Marina.

Forget the rest, hire the best!

After I received a ticket for Reckless Driving by Speed (more than 20 miles over the speed limit), I was honestly scared. I had no idea that speeding by itself could result in a suspended driver's license, let alone jail time. I knew that if I went to jail, even if only for only a few days, I could... possibly lose my job, which meant we couldn't afford our mortgage and we'd lose our home as well. I received a number of solicitations in the mail from criminal defense attorneys, none of which impressed me (one was even hand-written with different color markers!). My wife convinced me to research criminal defense attorneys online, and Marina seemed the best. After I talked to her on the telephone and understood her level of experience, not only with the law, but also with the system in general (i.e. she knows the judges, the prosecutors, the cops, etc.), I was convinced that Marina was the best defense attorney I could hope for. Marina advised me what to do before my court date (including 40-50 hours of volunteer community service), and because of that she was able to work out a deal with the prosecutor to reduce my offense to a 3-point speeding ticket with a $500 fine. This was an even better outcome than we were hoping for. You can find cheaper defense attorneys in Northern Virginia, but I don 't think you can find a better or more knowledgeable one, or one who will more zealously advocate for your benefit. If you can't afford to go to jail or lose your driver's license, then you can afford to hire Marina.

Best Probation Violation Lawyer in Virginia

Her knowledge of the laws and the legal system are unparalleled. She got me everything we could possibly get. Anything the probation officer and judge threw at her in and out of court she handled brilliantly. She is very quick on her feet. When we were leaving the court a guy asked for her card -... all because of the way she represented me in court that day. Thank you Marina Medvin - you saved me from a very harsh sentence. And, she's got a great personality, which goes a long way when one is stressed over legal proceedings. Anyone would be lucky to have her represent you. Thank you Marina!

Representation for 46.2-894 in Fairfax County

Ms. Medvin is a phenomenal attorney! She represented my after I had been arrested for a Hit-And-Run class 1 Misdemeanor that occurred in the drive-through of a local fast food restaurant. I inadvertently touched the bumper of the car in front of me. There was no vehicle damage or personal injury..., however the aggrieved party decided to contact the police after we both had departed the restaurant. Ms. Medvin quickly assessed this incident during our initial consultation, agreed to represent me, guided me through the process of gathering supporting information and appearing in court, and then skillfully negotiated an amicable resolution to what had been largely a misunderstanding between parties. The charges were changed from a criminal misdemeanor to a traffic citation, and the matter was formally closed. I cannot say enough good words about Ms. Medvin's compassion to me throughout this process, and her knowledge of the law and the courts. I was extremely impressed by her acumen in the court room. I am very grateful she agreed to represent me. She is an phenomenal attorney!
