Best Attorney in ALEXANDRIA!!!

Marina, is an incredible attorney who is very professional and responsive to my questions in regard to my case. Unlike many lawyers, Marina is quick to email, call or text. I was very lucky to have her and she is well worth the money . I found myself in a unique situation in Alexandria when I was pu...lled over for driving on a suspended license, in which I didn't know was suspended. The charges were serious and I was extremly nervous of what might happen . Marina was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and I was charged with a 10 Dollar fine and Operating a vehicle with no physical Identification. I can't tell you how relived I was when I retained Marina. I was confident that she was going to help me through this difficult scenario. That's exactly what she did. I know I don't have a license now and because Marina was able to get the best possible outcome from my case. I am able to take the appropriate steps to get my license reinstated in Virginia. If you're facing criminal or misdemeanor charge, I highly recommend you retain Marina immediately she is well worth the money and she will do everything in her power to help !! Thank you again for your time!

Excellent Lawyer

Marina Medvin is a terrific lawyer. She had my case in Alexandria dismissed! I am very happy with how responsive and patient she was with me. She works all the time, so it's easy to get in touch with her through email (it's like instant messaging with her sometimes, lol). She is superbly knowledgeabl...e and a strong-minded person. I felt very confident about having her as my lawyer, and we won in the end. Strongly recommended!!!

Intelligent and Professional

As a government civilian serving in the intelligence community, a criminal conviction would put my security clearance at risk and could ultimately cost me my career. Ms. Medvin knew immediately the severity of the situation and what I had to lose. Ms. Medvin displayed confidence and concern while w...orking tirelessly on my case. We met several times and she was always flexible with my schedule and always found time to take my calls. She put my mind at ease from the start and followed through with a level of intensity and professionalism that truly impressed me. Ms. Medvin was able to have my case dismissed with a simple fine and no jail time. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her hard work and dedication. Because of Ms. Medvin I am able to continue doing a job that I love and provide for my family.

Very poor experience

I found Marina Medvin to be incredibly combative and cold to me during the time we were attempting to establish a relationship. Her unprofessional conduct included yelling at me for cooperating with law enforcement and continuously telling me that she could no longer speak to me unless I paid her in ...full (she refused a payment plan and later agreed to $500.00 upfront with the remainder of the balance within several days. She accompanied me to my arraignment and as soon as the judge began to call names, she walked away from me in a move to show she did not represent me. Ultimately I decided the following day that this relationship was not going to work. I informed her of such and requested my $500.00 back. She attempted to keep the funds from me and I had to argue contract law to her and warn her that the Bar Association considers this type of action a severe ethical violation and I would be forced to report her actions. She quickly refunded the money. I'm a well educated person with a successful business who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Holding a government clearance, I was seeking someone supportive and professional. Unfortunately Marina Medvin was anything but this. Not recommended.

Very Satisfied

I am in the legal field and recently retained Ms. Medvin's services for a personnel legal matter. Ms. Medvin exceeded my expectations. She kept me well informed, involved and most importantly provided me with realistic expectations.
