Excellent Attorney - The Best

I cannot thank Marina enough for what she did for me. I was charged with a DWI after having a single car accident. I found Marina through Avvo and I'm very thankful for it. She is the best lawyer you can ever find. From the very first moment, she gave me the confidence I needed. She is very professi...onal and extremely knowledgeable, not only about the laws but all the police procedures, courts, prosecutors... you name ir, she knows everybody. She always got back to me personally and very promptly, even when she was out of town on vacations. She broke down my case thoroughly and explained what she was going to do. Always fighting for the best outcome possible. Marina is very passionate, dedicated and persistent about her cases, and she genuinely cares about people (her clients). I could tell she put in relentless efforts, as well as her paralegal, making all the necessary researches and gathering every piece of information in no-time, even the police report and evidence presented in my case. In the end she got the prosecutor to drop the charges with a nolle prosequi, which was virtually the best possible outcome. Even then, she kept fighting to make sure the Commonwealth was dropping the case for good. She is not only very passionate about her job but it is very pleasant person to work with. Thank you Marina, blessings and keep doing a great job!

Could not have been happier!

The best attorney! I was charged with a DUI second offense AND refusal and was facing significant jail time. Because of Marina's awesome representation, I ended up with a DUI first offense, 20 hours of ASAP classes and a $250 fine. I could not be happier. Marina cares. She not only knows the la...w inside and out and is a fighter, but she really cares about her clients. She clearly explained things to me, got back to me promptly and always put me at ease because she told me the truth. I couldn't give her a high enough rating and highly recommend Marina if you find yourself in some legal hot water,

Very responsive and attentive

Although I did not hire Ms. Medvin only because I was referred to another lawyer by a trusted friend, I still wanted to take a moment and mention that it was a pleasure to consult briefly with her. I contacted Ms. Medvin around 9 am on January 1st and she responded within half an hour!! How many lawy...ers would do that?! I spoke to her on the phone later that morning and she sounded very professional, reassuring and knowledgeable. I could tell I would be in good hands had I hired her. When a lawyer is so responsive and detailed, it's a great indication that she would commit to her clients completely.

Excellent Professional

After my charge, I was looking to get an expert attorney's help. Looked at the Fairfax County attorneys on internet and after researching online reviews, got in touch with Marina. I was at a nervous breakdown stage after my petit larceny charge. But she was an excellent help - very knowledgeable, str...aight shooter, professional and yet had a very personal touch that gave me some courage. She wanted me to undergo some training and community service which I did promptly and it helped me in the long run. She is very compassionate of her clients, emails, calls back at her earliest convenience (a BIG PLUS POINT) and provides advice conducive to positive outcome of case hearing. She met me before court date to provide all the details before hearing and she was there every moment providing minute by minute details during court date. Based on her command of the law and regulations, my charge was reduced and I'm always going to be grateful for her excellent help. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch criminal defense attorney in northern Virginia.

Best representation ever!

Marina Medvin is bright, articulate, professional, and personable. Her knowledge of the law enabled my Class 1 Misdemeanor charge for failure to report an collision with an attended vehicle to be amended to a local Fairfax County Ordinance Violation for failure to report damage to unattended property... valued at less that $50 (which is not designated as a crime, just a violation that carries a maximum penalty pf $50).
