Marina took my charge of reckless driving that was committed in broad daylight on a federally owned parkway. I was looking at possibly serving up to 6 months in jail. She was able to convince the federal prosecutor to drop the charges and I ended up pleasing guilty to a lesser charge of driving on gr...ass for which the fine was $30. Worth every penny. Her preparation, planning, and working behind the scenes before the trial date paid off in my dismissal. Absolutely endorse her skills and recommend her for all types of criminal defense.

I was charged with reckless driving (85/55 in Fairfax, Va) early on a Sunday morning. I immediately panicked, and started searching for lawyers. Ms. Medvin continually came up in my search with positive reviews, and her track record was impressive on her website. I decided to contact Ms. Medvin imme...diately, and I am so thankful I did. Ms. Medvin was responsive right from the start, replying to my initial email (on said Sunday) within hours. Her team provides very detailed instructions on what to do/information to collect/etc, and is readily available to answer questions. Ms. Medvin responded to many of my questions personally. My day in court could not have gone smoother. Ms. Medvin took my case off the docket for negotiation, and within an hour, she had reached a deal. My reckless driving ticket was amended to a speeding ticket, and was reduced 21mph (64/55). Incredible! Once I agreed to those terms (a simple signature), we walked into the court room and were out in about 10 minutes. I paid the $150 fine, plus court fees, and could put this behind me! I am so thankful for the help of Ms. Medvin. The entire experience could not have gone better, and I am overjoyed with the outcome. If you are ever in need of an attorney, do not hesitate to retain Ms. Medvin!!

Starting Day 1, Marina was very direct and deliberate with her services. After a quick consultation with her over the phone and providing her with a more thorough intake on my incident and background, she offered excellent guidance on what my steps should be leading up to my court date. With her assi...stance, we were able to reduce my charge, amending a reckless driving of 85/55 down to a non-criminal speeding ticket with a fine of $250 (plus court costs). Very thankful and appreciative for Marina's help in my case! My case was continued twice--both times she was present on my behalf--and then I went in on the final date. She was able to take my case off the docket for negotiation--so on my court date, I only needed to wait in the cafeteria area while she negotiated with prosecutor--and then we both went into the courtroom together, and she respectfully spoke on my behalf. I did follow her insightful suggestions leading up to my court date, and am VERY confident to recommend her for relative cases. As the review title says, Marina is EXCELLENT, DEDICATED, DRIVEN, and DOWN-TO-EARTH! Marina is excellent--she is very professional, educated, and extraordinarily organized. Marina is dedicated--it seems like she would treat all of her cases as her most important case, with passionate commitment. Marina is driven--without a doubt in my mind, she did what she could to help me with my case, and she was ultimately successful. Marina is down-to-earth--in the most desirable way, she is upfront and realistically portrays all possible outcomes. I could not be much happier with the outcome of my case, and I know that I could not have achieved my outcome without the outstanding support of Marina Medvin, Esq. Thank you, Marina!

I received a reckless driving ticket in Alexandria for doing 54 in a 25. This is a misdemeanor in Virginia, punishable by up to a $2,000 fine, one year in jail, and suspension of license. I contacted Marina, liked what I heard, and hired her. Once hired, she quickly gave me instruction on how to pr...oceed and information to get to her. She had the court case moved back a month in order for me to have more time to complete the tasks necessary. During this time she was readily available by phone or email to answer any questions I had. When court day came, she stood in for me, which allowed me to not miss a day of work. She negotiated with the prosecutor and had the charges dropped to a speeding ticket (44 in 25) and a $75 fine. Could not be happier with the outcome and absolutely recommend Marina Medvin.

My family and friends jokingly call me "Officer Safety" because I'm so rigid about following the law and I have such a spotless driving record. So when I was charged with reckless driving for not stopping for a school bus, I was terrified. I called Marina the day after I was charged and her calm, pro...fessional demeanor immediately put me at ease. She was very clear about the seriousness of the charges against me, and she never promised me any particular outcome. As the mom of a child with multiple disabilities, I was very worried about the possibility of jail time or loss of my driver's license. Marina gave 150% effort to my case and put forward the strongest defense possible. In the end, it was a good thing I hired such a skilled attorney: the police officer had a very different version of the events surrounding my case, and without Marina's advocacy on my behalf, it would have been impossible to get him to agree to an amended charge. Marina was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to amend the charge to a traffic infraction with a $250 fine. Put Marina's contact info in your address book today. I hope you never need to call a criminal defense attorney but if you do, you should have Marina's number at the ready. She was a Godsend to me and I'll forever be grateful to her.
