A skilled attorney.

I was faced with a legal obstacle that Marina turned into an opportunity for me to move forward with a clean(er) record and, most importantly, a clear conscience. She was able to get my charge amended to a lesser offense and that allowed me to keep some dignity during an otherwise challenging exp...erience. Marina Medvin is clearly a leader in her field.

I Highly Recommend Marina Medvin. Charges Dropped.

I was facing a petit larceny charge in Fairfax County and thoroughly researched all the best lawyers.  I then met with and/or spoke with at least six attorneys.  Retaining Marina Medvin was a no-brainer.  From our first phone conversation, I knew she was very different from all the rest.  She immedia...tely understood the case and had a direction that set me at ease.  She made an otherwise difficult process almost painless for me.  She dedicates 100% of her time and energy to your case on your court date and makes you feel like there is no other case she is working on but yours.  She’s present, always responsive, and proactive.  With Ms. Medvin you get superior lawyering, a cool and collected demeanor, laser focus, and an impressively capable presence.  She’s compassionate and makes you feel resilient during a time you would otherwise feel very vulnerable.  Ms. Medvin is a highly skilled attorney with just a little touch of “magic” that sets her apart from the rest.  Wether it is her keen sense of the law and legal arguments or her amazing people skills, she has something special that sets her apart in a sea of super lawyers.  With very little time to prepare, she negotiated with the prosecutor and my charges were dropped.  She's the best. The same qualities she has that make you feel lucky to have her as a lawyer, translates (very respectably) to the prosecutor and judge.  It’s confidence without arrogance.  Kindness without weakness.  She is very smart and clear, yet non-judgmental.  I would hope that I never “need” her services again, but she is the type of person you would want to do any kind of business with.  I think her pricing is beyond fair given what she brings to the table.  She’s a total class act.  She manages to be assertive and razor sharp without coming off as over the top, pushy or abrasive.  These qualities go far when negotiating with a prosecutor or appearing in front of a judge.  She’s passionate and works harder than any of the other people that are going to be involved, and everyone knows it.  Still, she’s not JUST a smart and hard working attorney, she has something extra that I have not seen another attorney bring to the table.  A type of compassion and sincerity that makes you feel like she has a personal stake in your well-being.  She fights hard for you as if you were a family member, without compromising any sense of professionalism.  There is absolutely no one else I would ever recommend (and I have met with and know a lot of top notch, terrific lawyers).  There is a reason she is so highly rated and she is so successful.  If you need an attorney for ANY reason, you want to try and get Marina Medvin on your side.  It will be the best decision you make in how you handle your case.  You won’t be sorry.

Excellent Outcome with Minimal Time to Prepare

Ms. Medvin had minimal time to prepare for my case but she did so flawlessly and was able to help me get the outcome I needed. Even after the case was over, she still made it a point to get in touch with me and give me further legal advice on how to help my record. I highly recommend Ms. Medvin for l...egal representation.

Marina is a talented and thorough attorney

Marina represented me in Fairfax recently. She landed clarity and confidence to a difficult case. Her background research and case analysis were second to none. She used focused and structured arguments that inspired the judge to see the case in the correct light. The "Not Guilty" verdict she was... able to obtain restored my belief in my own actions and the legal system as a whole. She is bright, talented, tenacious and stands behind what she believes in. Thank you Marina!!
