Last summer (2018), in the middle of a 6,500 retirement road trip at age 67, this federal retiree made the stupidest mistake ever. I was detected carry a small amount of personal-use contraband into the Pentagon, charged only with a misdemeanor when a felony was also involved. Never ever arrested b...efore, the next day I did a Google search for a defense attorney in Alexandria and Marina's profile was the only one I examined. In addition to appearing well groomed and attractive, cultured and cosmopolitan, with impressive awards, she responded personally and immediately to my inquiry. While the U.S. prosecutor's offer was generous on account of my history and age, Marina assisted in turning 12 months probation into six months - no fines, no costs, no fees. I never could have imagined finding better representation. I hope she will continue confidently clicking her stiletto heels across the courthouse marble floors and serve you as effectively as she served me! Thank you, Ms. Medvin!!

I am an attorney. A member of my family was recently charged with the commission of several criminal offenses in Alexandria, Virginia. All but one, a felony, were nol prossed. The case was tried before a judge, who rendered a not guilty verdict. That is the simple summary. This was a first o...ffense, but the charge was unique and serious. Our attorney was Marina Medvin, who devoted her considerable skill and experience to examining every detail of this unusual case, every strategy to create a reasonable doubt, and every possible argument to achieve a just result. And the result was just. Ms. Medvin remained accessible at all times to a family almost shattered by the experience. She would listen politely to, and even welcomed, my suggestions (not impositions) as an experienced litigator, but developed her own theory and approach. She exhibited perseverance and confidence and beat the odds. She has earned my highest recommendation.

From the moment I first spoke with Marina I knew she meant business. I was charged with assualt & battery and public intoxication and was deeply worried about the impact it would have on my record and career. Marina was honest and laid put the best course of action for me which I followed before my c...ourt date. Throughout the whole process she was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had and gave me valuable guidance along the way. She cares about her clients and does a wonderful job of instilling confidence. On the day of court, some unexpected events occured which we had already had a plan for thus she was quick on her feet and came to a resolution that ended up getting all charges against me dismisses. I would not think twice about hiring Marina again and recommend her without hesistation.

Retained Marina Medvin for misdemeanor intentional property destruction and public intoxication. She was very responsive to my questions- often answering my emails and returning my phone calls herself within minutes. Before the trial, she clearly explained the potential outcomes and provided specific... proactive measures I could take to reduce the fines/sentences in case it came to that. Fortunately, it did not. On trial day, she was dynamic and was able to get the charges dismissed.

I had a gun-related accident and didn't know exactly how to handle the follow up encounter with law enforcement. Marina contacted me within minutes of my reaching out and coached me as to how to best explain what happened in a way that was clear and accurate to avoid a misunderstanding. I am extremel...y grateful.
