From the moment I first spoke with Marina I felt completely confident that my case was in the best possible hands. I will forever be grateful to this woman and the immense amount of work she put into getting my case resolved. This lawyer will go as far as possible to ensure that you receive the best... possible legal treatment! I recommend everyone talk to Marine before making a decision on a lawyer!

Ms. Medvin is an extremely thorough, honest, and attentive professional who works passionately on your behalf. I am rating her and forwarding this review because she exceeded my expectations. whatever my results would have been, I would know I had the best representation I could receive. If i neede...d a response, a call, or an update, she got back to me in a timely manner with up to the minute information.

Marina is everything you could hope for in a lawyer. She's on top of her game, always punctual and follows through with everything she says. She never gives you unrealistic expectations, but because of the network she has built and the excellent rapport she's developed, she is able to produce the mos...t favorable outcome available to her clients. There was a warrant out for my arrest, in the midst of me being a newly hired employee. The original sentence was supposed to be 10 days in jail for Failure to Appear. Marina made a few calls and arranged for an officer she trusted to escort me to turn myself in—which should have been frightening. But the officer was an amazing gentleman, and treated me with dignity, kindness and respect. Because Marina had also made arrangements ahead of time with the prosecutor and other offices involved, I saw the inside lobby area of a correctional facility for less than 45 minutes before I was released. She took care of everything behind the scenes—all I had to do was show up in court about a month later. A ten day sentence was reduced to a $100 fine, and I missed exactly one day of work which I was able to apply sick leave for. Marina Medvin is an amazing, and more importantly an extremely respectable attorney who keeps you informed every step of the way, and eases any sense of uncertainty and the qualms that come with needing legal representation. She will be my attorney for as long as she is in practice, and I would refer her in a heartbeat with 100% confidence to anyone seeking legal council and representation. Thanks to Marina, I was able to keep my job, my respect, and my squeaky-clean record! I've never met another lawyer with such great client relationships.

I recommend Ms. Medvin for representation in Northern Virginia without any reservations. She represented me in a DUI case, and she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She made sure that I clearly understood each step of the process, and was willing to answer all questions I had along... the way. She is extremely accessible and responsive, and her response time to emails, calls and texts throughout the process was nothing less than prompt. Although the courts in Northern Virginia are quite conservative in these cases, she did everything to make sure that I received fairness and justice in my case. She followed up after the initial ruling was made and didn't leave anything unfinished. She has a great working relationship with the judges and commonwealth attorneys/prosecutors, and has enough experience with them as well as the police officers to give you the best representation. She is personable and very nice, she takes her time, and is thoughtful in how she interacts with and how she represents her clients. Equally important she was very realistic throughout the whole process and never promised me anything she couldn't deliver on. Overall my experience with Ms. Medvin was the more than I could have asked for, she exceeded all expectations.

Passing a School Bus can be very bad in VA, as there are apparently two versions of it in terms of whether a just a payable ticket or a jail-able offense akin to Reckless Driving. I of course received the steeper version of the violation by the polite but uncertain policeman. I could get up to a yea...r in Jail and/or a steep fine past $1000, I was told by the court. Even though I knew I did not violate this, I was just going to pay the fine since I could not easily be present for the trial. The court would not allow my handling this remotely, where they stated I had to appear even though I live in another state since this is such a bad offense. Attending potentially 3 court appearances would obviously be difficult for me. I did get to VA for the arraignment, but needed a lawyer I could trust to attend the subsequent hearing(s) and trial on my behalf and use skills to argue that I didn't pass that school bus or endanger any kids. Medvin excelled in getting the case dropped during the first hearing. Very impressive. I hereby recommend Marina Medvin's legal services.
