The Right Choice!

I am an intelligent professional who has never been in trouble with the law nor close to being arrested in my entire life. I've always had the greatest respect for Police Officers until this one. I was horrified and shocked when I was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct in Public and Resis...ting Arrest. My boyfriend is a big guy and body builder who witnessed the entire event and was my witness. I’m a tall, thin 55 yr. old woman. The taller than me young Officer panicked for some reason and called for backup. 15 police cars showed up to find me in handcuffs sitting on the ground. I had to go in front of the Magistrate twice. The first time it was obvious to the Magistrate the young Officer couldn't figure out why he had arrested me either. Being at odds with the police and going to Court is a terribly helpless and frightening experience in and of itself. Not having a strong, competent attorney who will fight for your rights all the way would make it a never ending nightmare. After speaking with multiple attorneys, and much research, I hired Marina to defend me in this Criminal Case. Thankfully, I made the right choice in Marina. I knew I was in good hands the moment I met her. She is an experienced attorney who is smart, polished and knowledgeable and a complete pleasure to work with. Her calming presence combined with her accessibility and responsiveness is comforting to anyone in a difficult legal situation. I’m in awe of her passion for her clients’ rights and knowledge of the jurisdictions in which she practices. She knew of this officer’s previous questionable actions. She had knowledge and prior experience with the prosecutors and the judges. This knowledge gave me even more confidence in her abilities to defend me and was invaluable in her guiding me through the legal process and structuring my defense. My charges were dropped by the Prosecutor, of whom Marina had first-hand knowledge and experience defending her clients against. I will be eternally grateful to Marina. If I ever need an attorney again, she will be my one and only call. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of an excellent attorney. Thank you, Marina!

An excellent attorney who will fight for your rights.

Marina Medvin simply knows how to fight for your rights. She represented me on a driving on a suspended license while on probation for DWI, and improper lane change in Alexandria. She quickly got the driving on a suspended charges dropped and the fine for the improper lane change reduce to only $30 d...ollars in less than i could ever expected. I only had to appear in court once which also made it convinient for me not to have to keep taking time off work to attend court. She was nothing short of amazing. I wish I had hired her on my previous case of DWI. I highly recommend her to anyone with legal problems. I know if I ever have another legal matter to resolve, she will be the one to call. Thank you Ms. Medvin for your proffesionalism.

Best lawyer

Marina’s focus and representation resulted in the best possible outcome that I could hope for, case dismissed. I found Marina by searching on the Internet and reading the materials posted on her website. During the initial consultation, Marina explained me very clearly her recommendations for my case... and I decided to select her with no hesitation when I had in mind discussions with two other highly ranked lawyers from Northern Virginia. I am very pleased and honored to realize that Marina is simply the best and outstanding attorney, admiring every aspect of her work for my case. She was always able to communicate clearly plans and actions, available anytime to speak and answer to any questions.

Testimony about an extraordinary and exceptional attorney Ms Marina Medvin

I can' t find the right words to express my very deep gratitude to an amazing , exceptional attorney Ms Marina Medvin for miracles she' s literally performed on my behalf . In January 2013 , I was charged with drunk in Public . I was so fortunate to have Ms Marina represent me in May this year ...on that charge , she did an extraordinary job and convinced the prosecutor to drop the charge .Unfortunately , just 3 weeks later , I was charged with the very same offense , and my only hope in the world was the amazing Ms Marina .I felt so low and sad as I could not believe that it was happening again. Besides being such an exceptional and super knowledgeable attorney , Ms Marina is so kind and caring that my morale rose again from the very day I contacted her to tell her I had been arrested again.On Friday , Ms Marina as usual did her magic and I could not believe that as a second offense in just months , she was able to have the charge dropped again. I don' t know how I will ever thank her enough for what she ' s done for me. Anyone who has her on his side is simply blessed and her staff is equally gracious. Dear Marina , I' ll forever be grateful to you for all you have done for me , may god bless you and your family.Thank you so much

She will answer all of your questions and will help you every step of the way. Going to court is scary, but you...'re in great hands with Ms. Medvin. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case.
