Reckless Driving Reduced to Speeding

After being charged with reckless driving for the 3rd time, I hired Marina Medvin to represent me. She was very knowledgable about my situation and advised me on what to do, such as obtaining my driving history and taking an online driving course. Also, I never had to go to court...she handled that... so that I didn't have to miss work. We used email to correspond and she was quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend her.

Very Satisified

Ms. Medvin represented me for a potential felony traffic related offense and, despite a police officer with suspect integrity, managed to have the charge reduced to a standard speeding ticket (which I must admit was more realistic). She responded to my initial query of services very promptly despite ...being after regular business hours and immediately put my mind at ease. She was thorough in extracting the details of my case and came up with some interesting questions about the legality of the officers actions. Throughout the whole process she was very informative and quick to respond to all my questions, I was very confident in her ability to represent me and quite satisfied with the outcome.

Ms. Medvin is the Best

Ms. Medvin assisted me with a citation for more than twice the posted speed limit. She was frank and forward in assessing my case, specified what she needed to do and what I needed to do to prepare for court. On the day of trial she stopped in at the Alexandria police station to gather some backgroun...d on the officer in my case. She determined he did not do a great deal of traffic work so quizzed him outside of court about his handling of his laser. He had not calibrated the laser that day as required, so he agreed to an amended charge of 20 over the posted limit, rather than 38. Going into court I faced a suspended license, a $3,000 fine and 30 days. I was pleased to leave with nothing but a $150 fine on the reduced charge. Ms. Medvin is a true professional and a passionate advocate for her clients. I would recommend her without reservation.

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!

Provided the Guidance and Help Needed

I had received a Reckless Driving ticket which was requiring me to attend court and face charges. She managed to get the conviction down to driving 74 in a 65 zone. Totally amazing really given the possible seriousness of the incident. I can't thank her enough for the succinct information I received ...throughout the process, as I was clueless. She handled the case confidently and with professionalism. Yes I came up with some ideas on how to handle the case, but ultimately I followed the professional. Thats why you pay a good lawyer - they know the system and you need to trust in their professionalism and experience on how to handle the case. I'm extremely satisfied with the engagement and followup I received ensuring that we could close out the case once a judgement had occurred. Again, I can't thank her enough for the work performed.
