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.

I chose Marina Medvin as my attorney to defend me against the criminal charge based on all the positive reviews I have read. Marina was courteous, professional and responsive to my questions and requests. She put me at ease by proactively securing the hearing date and then building the defense so m...y charge was ultimately reduced to a non-criminal one. And I did not even have to show up in the courthouse. I highly recommend Marina if you want a peace of mind and the prompt, efficient and proactive service.

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.

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.
