Reckless 90/55 reduce to regular speeding 85/55

Marina makes use of technology to make the client -attorney process easy, transparent and efficient. Regarding her attorney services, it was the easiest in court experience i've ever encountered. Most of you reading this review have probably been to court once before and know how stressful and confus...ing traffic court can be. I showed up, gave her required documentation she need to argue my case directly with the office and county prosecutor, she was able to negotiate and settle with the prosecutor a lesser penalty that reduce my infraction from reckless (higher fines, jail time) to regular speeding 80/55 ($250 and no jail time or higher fines). Would highly recommend Marina if you want someone who knows how to negotiate for you and counsel you for the best results. Highly recommend Marina.

A Criminal Defense Lawyer I would recommend in a heartbeat!

Full understanding of the legal situation, ability to prioritize the client’s need and maximizing the outcome in favor of the client - these are some of the essential traits one should look for when hiring a lawyer. Marina Medvin has all, and some more. She is extremely prompt in personally respondin...g to all questions a client can have, big or small. She does not dwell in lengthy lawyer’s gobbledygook with the client, she rather explains in simple and concise terms what is what. In the court, she is politely forceful and convincing to the judge. Outside, she really cares about her client, specially a nervous one. She was my lawyer. Result: The criminal charge was dismissed and the fine for another related charge was drastically reduced. I am happy to recommend her wholeheartedly.

An excellent zealous defense.

Marina Medvin was all you could hope for when you are in a tough spot. She was knowledgeable and passionate in her arguements. She was informative about how the legal system actually work, and informative about your actual rights in that system. She was honest about the likely outcome, but never g...ave up or gave in. She was creative and inventive thinker, who was comfortable stepping outside the box. She is the only person I would trust with my freedom.

Incredible Outcome!

After months of major worry and anxiety (I was facing a felony charge), words cannot truly convey my gratitude to Marina for her guidance and legal representation. Throughout this ordeal she was amazingly responsive to all of my questions and concerns. She was realistic, kind and sensible. She gave m...e wise advice at every juncture. My charge will be dismissed after restitution and community service. I never dreamed that my case would have this positive outcome. I am truly in awe of Marina's professional ability to work with the prosecutor and all parties to grant me a second chance. I could not recommend her more highly!

An Impeccable Attorney

Marina Medvin is an outstanding attorney. I have never had to hire a criminal defense attorney before; and since I needed a good legal defense I'm very pleased that I hired Marina Medvin to represent me. Marina was nothing less than outstanding from the start of my legal proceedings all the way to th...e end. She is very trustworthy and actually cares about who she's representing. I have never been afraid of anything in my entire life until this legal situation came up. Marina was able to calm all of my fears and concerns. She was able to get both of the charges dismissed and now I can breathe again! I am truly grateful to her and the vigorous defense that she provided for me! She has my highest recommendation as a criminal defense attorney. In closing, Marina is also a terrific person who again, really cares...
