Great representation

Marina was able to negotiate to get my Drunk in Public charge dismissed. She was responsive, kind, and very on task with me throughout the process. I think she is the best lawyer around.

The very best!!

I had hired Ms. Medvin based on two pieces of information that became apparent during and after my first conversation with her. She knows more about Constitutional Law than most other attorneys and is able to navigate the ins and outs of the courtroom commanding respect from the prosecutors and the ...judges as well. She is revered because she often beats them and they understand fully what may happen if they choose to try a case against her. the second piece of information that led me to hire her is that I offered her name to another attorney that I was considering and I was informed that "wow, she is good." This to me meant roughly that she was a better choice and that gentleman was correct in his assessment. She is truly the very best in the game. You would not possibly be able to be more comfortable and confident facing serious charges than with Ms. Medvin. I cannot recommend her enough to all future prospective clients. This perfect rating is for a reason, it just doesn't get any better, she is the very best!!

Efficient, knowledgeable and successful

It was certainly great to have Ms. Medvin on my side when I was arrested for being drunk in public. She responded to my initial inquiries via email in real time. She then sent me intake papers instructing me on what to do and asking for paperwork and information that she needed. From there it was ...simply a matter of doing what she said (in my case voluntary community service) and leaving the arguments up to her. She got my charges dropped entirely! This is a lawyer who knows what she is doing - you can tell in talking to her that she knows her way around the law and exactly how best to help you. I hope never ever to have any legal trouble again, but if I did, I would call Ms. Medvin immediately.

Fantastic Lawyer, Highly Recommend

I was charged with an enhanced DUI which, if convicted, would include a mandatory 5 days in jail. The jail time would have likely been increased due to a collision involved. Ms. Medvin was able to get the BAC dropped and I avoided jail time. This was the first time I have been charged with a cri...me, and was in full panic mode. After googling local lawyers, Ms. Medvin's accolades and reviews stood out among all others. After speaking with her, I immediately knew I made the right decision in hiring her as my attorney. Throughout the process, Ms. Medvin was always there to not only answer my questions (which were many), but also gave me peace of mind with her answers and knowledge of legal matters, specifically with DUIs. She is very quick to return messages and emails, typically within an hour if not immediately, regardless of the time of day. You can tell she truly cares about her clients. I also think the rate she charged was very reasonable for the situation. Also, she referred me to another lawyer for a question regarding my car insurance. I contacted the attorney she suggested, and this matter was resolved after speaking with the attorney for a little over an hour. I recommend anyone in need of legal representation to make Ms. Medvin your first call.

Efficient and knowledgeable

My case involved DUI and refusal to test charges on federal land in Virginia. I contacted Ms. Medvin on a weekend, the day after receiving the charges. She wrote me right back and within a couple of days had reviewed my case and begun collecting evidence. In short order, she settled my case on fav...orable terms (no DUI; refusal only). She then walked me through the process of paying my fine and signing up for the probation that had been ordered. Ms. Medvin was extremely knowledgeable regarding how the prosecutor and judge would handle my case; everything happened as she said it would. She even gave me tips about getting safe driving points from the VA DMV (which erased existing points on my record). She also cleared up confusion at the DMV regarding the effect of the federal court order in my case, which enabled me to drive. When I retained Ms. Medvin, at first I thought it seemed like a lot to pay up front. However, that was probably the best money I've spent in my life. She is worth every penny and then some. I would highly recommend Ms. Medvin for DUI and related charges.
