The Best Lawyer - Charges Dismissed.

I found myself charged with a misdemeanor that could be elevated to a felony charge. My career that I worked so hard for was in jepardy as well as my family life. After researching lawyers in the area I and found that Marina was rated the best. So I hired her and was so glad I did. She is truly a... fighter. She is sincere, honest, aggressive and actually cares about her clients. I explained my situation, the importance of my career and that if I was convicted my family would fall apart. She was able to get my charges completly dissmised with certain conditions in a extremely difficult county. After my court date, I was so thankful. It was as if a miracle just happened. My charges were dismissed and I was able to keep my job. Marina is a truly talented lawyer and I would recommend her over any other lawyer. She is truly a life saver.

Fantastic Experience!

I was in a serious bind, and frankly, quite frantic. I did a lot of searching of reviews online, and I simply continued to return to Medvin Law. I have had experience with other attorneys in the past, supposedly good ones, but I have never had an experience even close to the one that I had with Mar...ina. When I called, she answered. If unavailable, she would call back almost immediately. Marina was straightforward, not telling me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. At the same time, she was incredibly courteous, professional, and sympathetic (if not at times, empathetic) to my situation (and to my anxiety). I followed your advice and instructions, and in doing so, you kept me from a potentially dire situation. Marina and I even had side conversations/ emails, in the way that friends may. That should speak volumes. Marina is passionate about what she does, and compassionate in the process. Marina, from my family and me, thank you so much for everything; your kindness, your professionalism, and your knowledge of the law will never be forgotten.

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.
