Marina is the most diligent and dedicated criminal defense lawyer

Thanks to Marina’s exceptional defense, my son just walked out the federal sentencing court two days ago as a free man. My son was originally charged with a federal felony which could cause him 5 years in jail one year ago. Marina fought it fearless with Government and eventually had the felony c...harge dropped to a MISDEMEANOR, and then argued in court to keep our son out of jail and won with only six months of probation. Rest of the decedents in the conspiracy group were all sentenced to at least 30 days in prison plus one year home confinement. Marina’s outstanding representation in the court has made complete difference and has saved my son from going to jail! During the course of the representation Marina working diligently with my son go through details and preparing court filings. Marina has very strong background in computer technology and cybercrime, this advantage has greatly enhanced the defense strategies and defense results. She always keeps us updated in the real time and give us advices on actions. She responded to our emails, phone calls even over the weekends and late in the nights. Her dedicated help has greatly help our family to restore confidence and hope. I strong recommend Marina if you need a dedicated lawyer to fight for you in a federal criminal case. She is truly the best federal criminal defense lawyer you can ever find. If you need a dedicated lawyer with in-depth knowledge in computer and internet, Marina is the only lawyer you need. Marina, our whole family is so grateful for your exceptional representation and defense!

A skilled attorney.

I was faced with a legal obstacle that Marina turned into an opportunity for me to move forward with a clean(er) record and, most importantly, a clear conscience. She was able to get my charge amended to a lesser offense and that allowed me to keep some dignity during an otherwise challenging exp...erience. Marina Medvin is clearly a leader in her field.

Confident, knowledgable. Extremely gifted attorney

Marina was a pleasure to work with. She is an extremely gifted attorney. She provided very creative arguments on my behalf and spoke very clearly and convincingly to the judge. She's very smart and made sure that I was aware of all possible responses the prosecutor may have. I felt very confident wit...h her representing me, and even more confident when I saw how the judge reacted positively to her arguments. She's brilliant! And she had a quick response to anything the prosecutor said. I am very satisfied with how she represented me. Hopefully, I will never need services like this ever again, but if I ever do, I will hire her again. I am recommending her to anyone who is going in front of a judge. She's a like a walking textbook that can shoot ammunition. The perfect balance for an attorney.

Amazing lawyer! 100% recommended!! You can not go wrong..

By far the best legal representation I could have asked for. Watching her work was like watching Tom Cruise in "A few Good Men". I can confidently say that Marina Medvin is by far the best in the business. She will get it done, and if she thinks she can't, she will be very honest and tell you. I had ...3 charges stemming from circumstantial accusations and with Marina's help, all were dropped. Thanks again Marina!

An incredible experience!

Marina is everything you could hope for in a lawyer. She's on top of her game, always punctual and follows through with everything she says. She never gives you unrealistic expectations, but because of the network she has built and the excellent rapport she's developed, she is able to produce the mos...t favorable outcome available to her clients. There was a warrant out for my arrest, in the midst of me being a newly hired employee. The original sentence was supposed to be 10 days in jail for Failure to Appear. Marina made a few calls and arranged for an officer she trusted to escort me to turn myself in—which should have been frightening. But the officer was an amazing gentleman, and treated me with dignity, kindness and respect. Because Marina had also made arrangements ahead of time with the prosecutor and other offices involved, I saw the inside lobby area of a correctional facility for less than 45 minutes before I was released. She took care of everything behind the scenes—all I had to do was show up in court about a month later. A ten day sentence was reduced to a $100 fine, and I missed exactly one day of work which I was able to apply sick leave for. Marina Medvin is an amazing, and more importantly an extremely respectable attorney who keeps you informed every step of the way, and eases any sense of uncertainty and the qualms that come with needing legal representation. She will be my attorney for as long as she is in practice, and I would refer her in a heartbeat with 100% confidence to anyone seeking legal council and representation. Thanks to Marina, I was able to keep my job, my respect, and my squeaky-clean record! I've never met another lawyer with such great client relationships.
