Marina was without a doubt worth every single penny. First of all, she was very prompt. She always got back to me personally via cell phone or e-mail within a reasonable amount of time. She was also very easy to reach directly. There was never a paralegal or subordinate to reach in between, it wa...s always her who answered my e-mails and picked up my calls. Second, she did an excellent job breaking my case down and explaining what she was going to try to do to achieve the best possible outcome. She also kept me informed on what the different outcomes could be and what I should do to prepare for them. Third, she was very organized and persistent. She showed me all her notes and the research she did for my case. I could tell she put in relentless effort into parsing out the Virginia code out and using it with the police report and evidence presented in my case. In the end she got my first offense DUI case dismissed on a Constitutional law violation, which was virtually the best possible outcome. And as a side note, she is very passionate about her job and does it with a smile. Before my case came up on the docket, she would excitedly explain what was going on with the other cases, and what she thought about them. I could tell she loved her job and genuinely cared about all her clients. 5 stars and 100% recommend her to represent anybody.

I was charged with possession of marijuana in alexandria and was devastated. I just returned from vacation and i thought that my career was now over and a year of probation and asap awaited me. Not to mention a record, so I sought out the best attorney that I could find. I researched online for ...top ranked lawyers for this field who regularly practiced in alexandria and came across Marina Medvin's info and I gave her a ring. Within minutes i felt very comfortable with her approach and enthusiasm. This is someone who will truly fight for your legal rights the best way possible. After selecting Marina to represent me I awaited my court date. It was a stressful time waiting, but Marina was helpful at keeping me at ease throughout the whole process. The day of the trial my case was dismissed without even seeing the judge! Needeless to say that is not a guarantee for everyone but I believe this is one attorney that truly will give it their all. I highly recommend Marina's legal representation should you find yourself in a legal bind.

When my daughter was cited for trespass for being in a public park in Fairfax County only 20 minutes past closing, we were beside ourselves with worry. We interviewed several lawyers and chose Marina because of her knowledge of these types of cases and warm regard for her clients. She listened care...fully to our side of the story and made a few recommendations which we followed. We flooded her with information on my daughter’s community service, school transcripts, work history and anything we could think of that would help. And then we waited for the court date. Marina made sure to contact us in between and we always felt that she was on top of things. I am happy to report that the charges were dropped. Cannot thank her enough. Worth every penny and more!

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.
