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.

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).

Full understanding of the legal situation, ability to prioritize the client’s need and maximizing the outcome in favor of the client - these are some of the essential traits one should look for when hiring a lawyer. Marina Medvin has all, and some more. She is extremely prompt in personally respondin...g to all questions a client can have, big or small. She does not dwell in lengthy lawyer’s gobbledygook with the client, she rather explains in simple and concise terms what is what. In the court, she is politely forceful and convincing to the judge. Outside, she really cares about her client, specially a nervous one. She was my lawyer. Result: The criminal charge was dismissed and the fine for another related charge was drastically reduced. I am happy to recommend her wholeheartedly.

Marina is an outstanding attorney, the best one I've seen (and I've talked to different ones.) Her knowledge of the law and the way she applies the law made a huge difference throughout her representation in my case. She genuinely cared about what could happen in my case. She was responsive at all ti...mes. She is aggressive and committed, gives excellent results. Without hesitation I will hire Marina again. I highly recommend this attorney- you will see the difference.

Marina Medvin was all you could hope for when you are in a tough spot. She was knowledgeable and passionate in her arguements. She was informative about how the legal system actually work, and informative about your actual rights in that system. She was honest about the likely outcome, but never g...ave up or gave in. She was creative and inventive thinker, who was comfortable stepping outside the box. She is the only person I would trust with my freedom.
