For a first time offender who had no clue how the legal system worked, Marina was a godsend. One conversation and you can tell she's exceedingly bright. She's a genuine person that really seems to care about her clients. She was also scary fast at returning my calls and replying to my emails - did no...t matter if it was 8:00AM or 10:00PM, I never waited longer than 45 minutes. She patiently and efficiently explained every part of my discovery; what, per Code, would be my sentence if convicted; how she could get the charges down or dismissed; and, what happens after a trial or plea bargain is agreed to. She was amazingly calm on the day of court, explaining the process and providing play-by-play in a way in which someone who does not have a law degree could understand. She seems to have a good working relationship, due to her years of experience, with the prosecutors in my jurisdiction. Because of that and her skills as a trial lawyer, she was able to successfully negotiate a plea deal resulting in zero days jail time - not what we were expecting but forever grateful. In other words: she's the best, just do it.

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!!

I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin! I was charged with a DUI after having failed a field sobriety test and a field breathalyzer reading of 0.19. At the police station I had a BAC of 0.14. I am a young professional who has physical limitations which had hindered my ability to properly c...arry out the field sobriety test. In addition, my career would be in jeopardy should a criminal DUI conviction were to be on my record. Initially I had sought legal counsel from an attorney who appeared on a quick web search. After retaining this law firm, discussing my case and meeting with this attorney; I quickly knew this firm didn't have my best interest at heart. I learned of Marina Medvin after dissolving my relationship with my previous counselor, and I am thankful I had done so! Immediately I saw a difference. Attorney Medvin introduced herself as Marina and after a few minutes of discussing my predicament with her, I felt at ease. She is professional, extremely well-educated, personable and brilliant in every regard to say the least! She took my case and had presented me with all of the information necessary to help me. Over the next next several months, she was available to answer any questions and address all concerns I had throughout this process. She was my advocate and truly diligent every step of the way. I had received a new position which required a background check, I had made Marina aware of this, within minutes she responded and drafted a letter to present to my employer; in-short securing my new position. On the day of the trial, she was unsastisfied with the circumstances and successfully argued a continuance, which was accepted. Her professionalism in the courtroom and the respect she commands from prosecutors and judges, truly speaks for itself. After one month we were heard before a judge who is notoriously apathetic. Marina bargained with the prosecution and presented our case diligently and eloquently. I had won a victory by avoiding a criminal charge of a DUI which had been reduced to a reckless driving! A victory of which she received accolades from her fellow colleagues as we were exiting the courthouse. If ever I were to thank someone and owe them for my future, it is Marina Medvin, Esq. This was and hopefully my only indiscretion with the judicial system, but for any reason I or anyone I cared for, were to find themselves in a nightmare like this; I would only trust Marina to take care of me or someone dear to me. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin, Esq.!

I retained Marina to defend me in a domestic violence case. The charges had been brought up over my spouse's objection; Marina referred my spouse to a colleague for their own representation, leaving the prosecutor with no case. Marina's manner of consultation was reassuring and highly responsive, an...d she helped close the chapter on the ordeal with the minimal headache factor. Would absolutely recommend her.

Ms. Medvin advised and represented us in a larceny case. Throughout the several months from the charges to the actual court date, Ms. Medvin provided excellent guidance, was always available for consultation/advice, and was diligent in ensuring that we fully understood the situation and what to expec...t. She was caring and thoughtful, and we couldn't have asked for a more informed attorney. Due to Ms. Medvin's representation, the charges were reduced significantly and no jail time was required. The outcome was all we could have asked for, and full credit is due Ms. Medvin. We highly recommend her.
