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.

A battle tested attorney.

Marina has a tenacity in the courtroom that is unrivaled. Her expertise is not limited by those who came before her, she is always willing and ready to blaze a new trail to defend your rights. Her knowledge makes you feel extremely comfortable, and her tenacity keeps you safe.

Marina is the most diligent and dedicated criminal defense lawyer

Thanks to Marina’s exceptional defense, my son just walked out the federal sentencing court two days ago as a free man. My son was originally charged with a federal felony which could cause him 5 years in jail one year ago. Marina fought it fearless with Government and eventually had the felony c...harge dropped to a MISDEMEANOR, and then argued in court to keep our son out of jail and won with only six months of probation. Rest of the decedents in the conspiracy group were all sentenced to at least 30 days in prison plus one year home confinement. Marina’s outstanding representation in the court has made complete difference and has saved my son from going to jail! During the course of the representation Marina working diligently with my son go through details and preparing court filings. Marina has very strong background in computer technology and cybercrime, this advantage has greatly enhanced the defense strategies and defense results. She always keeps us updated in the real time and give us advices on actions. She responded to our emails, phone calls even over the weekends and late in the nights. Her dedicated help has greatly help our family to restore confidence and hope. I strong recommend Marina if you need a dedicated lawyer to fight for you in a federal criminal case. She is truly the best federal criminal defense lawyer you can ever find. If you need a dedicated lawyer with in-depth knowledge in computer and internet, Marina is the only lawyer you need. Marina, our whole family is so grateful for your exceptional representation and defense!

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.

Recommended for representation in Northern VA

I recommend Ms. Medvin for representation in Northern Virginia without any reservations. She represented me in a DUI case, and she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She made sure that I clearly understood each step of the process, and was willing to answer all questions I had along... the way. She is extremely accessible and responsive, and her response time to emails, calls and texts throughout the process was nothing less than prompt. Although the courts in Northern Virginia are quite conservative in these cases, she did everything to make sure that I received fairness and justice in my case. She followed up after the initial ruling was made and didn't leave anything unfinished. She has a great working relationship with the judges and commonwealth attorneys/prosecutors, and has enough experience with them as well as the police officers to give you the best representation. She is personable and very nice, she takes her time, and is thoughtful in how she interacts with and how she represents her clients. Equally important she was very realistic throughout the whole process and never promised me anything she couldn't deliver on. Overall my experience with Ms. Medvin was the more than I could have asked for, she exceeded all expectations.
