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!

Without a doubt in my mind I can say that Ms Medvin is the best criminal lawyer that is there in the DC/ Virgiia area..I had 2 grand larceny and during the preliminary hearing itself one charge was dropped and the other was reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time . My case was complicated due to m...y green card status and Ms Medvin took that into consideration right from day 1 and made sure that I get an outcome that didn't lead to deportability or inadmissibility. If you are stuck in any criminal proceedings with the state then she is the right person to talk to . Ms Medvin is smart, intelligent, considerate, knows the law in and out and had a tremendous track record. The best thing about her is that she is very straight forward and lays out the situation and the consequences as it is so that you know the intensity of the situation and are prepared to fight it. She was there with me every step of the way 24x7 and I mean it literally . You can call her day or night anytime if the week and she will always be there to answer all your questions. When you are stuck in this difficult situation you need a lawyer who would leave no stone unturned till you get your desired outcome and Ms Medvin is that lawyer . I owe her everything .

Upon being arrested on charges of DUI 2nd and refusal to submit to a breathalyzer, I began researching possible attorneys to defend me and was immediately struck by Marina's reputation and track record of success. She was professional and prompt in all of my dealings with her and immediately grasp...ed the evidentiary strengths and weaknesses of the Commonwealth's case and important legal issues that could be used as leverage to negotiate an acceptable plea deal. Based on her skill and experience, she was able to get the Commonwealth to reduce my charge to a first offense DUI, drop the refusal charge and prevent me from having to serve any jail time. It is obvious that she has a good working relationship with the various Commonwealth Attorneys, which only makes an acceptable outcome for her clients that much more likely. I wholeheartedly recommend Marina to any individual needing criminal defense representation in the jurisdictions where she practices.
