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.

Very Satisified

Ms. Medvin represented me for a potential felony traffic related offense and, despite a police officer with suspect integrity, managed to have the charge reduced to a standard speeding ticket (which I must admit was more realistic). She responded to my initial query of services very promptly despite ...being after regular business hours and immediately put my mind at ease. She was thorough in extracting the details of my case and came up with some interesting questions about the legality of the officers actions. Throughout the whole process she was very informative and quick to respond to all my questions, I was very confident in her ability to represent me and quite satisfied with the outcome.

Best Attorney in ALEXANDRIA!!!

Marina, is an incredible attorney who is very professional and responsive to my questions in regard to my case. Unlike many lawyers, Marina is quick to email, call or text. I was very lucky to have her and she is well worth the money . I found myself in a unique situation in Alexandria when I was pu...lled over for driving on a suspended license, in which I didn't know was suspended. The charges were serious and I was extremly nervous of what might happen . Marina was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and I was charged with a 10 Dollar fine and Operating a vehicle with no physical Identification. I can't tell you how relived I was when I retained Marina. I was confident that she was going to help me through this difficult scenario. That's exactly what she did. I know I don't have a license now and because Marina was able to get the best possible outcome from my case. I am able to take the appropriate steps to get my license reinstated in Virginia. If you're facing criminal or misdemeanor charge, I highly recommend you retain Marina immediately she is well worth the money and she will do everything in her power to help !! Thank you again for your time!
