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.

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.

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.

If ever I need legal representation for whatever reason, Marina is who I would contact without hesitation. Her expertise were apparent from the very first, and every, meeting. She always took plenty of time to understand every aspect of my case. Marina's energy and constructive enthusiasm for repr...esenting me and my case has made me way-beyond a satisfied customer. Marina Medvin is absolutely Second to None.

Ms. Medvin assisted me with a citation for more than twice the posted speed limit. She was frank and forward in assessing my case, specified what she needed to do and what I needed to do to prepare for court. On the day of trial she stopped in at the Alexandria police station to gather some backgroun...d on the officer in my case. She determined he did not do a great deal of traffic work so quizzed him outside of court about his handling of his laser. He had not calibrated the laser that day as required, so he agreed to an amended charge of 20 over the posted limit, rather than 38. Going into court I faced a suspended license, a $3,000 fine and 30 days. I was pleased to leave with nothing but a $150 fine on the reduced charge. Ms. Medvin is a true professional and a passionate advocate for her clients. I would recommend her without reservation.
