After being charged with reckless driving for the 3rd time, I hired Marina Medvin to represent me. She was very knowledgable about my situation and advised me on what to do, such as obtaining my driving history and taking an online driving course. Also, I never had to go to court...she handled that... so that I didn't have to miss work. We used email to correspond and she was quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend her.

Ms. Medvin represented me for a potential felony traffic related offense and, despite a police officer with suspect integrity, managed to have the charge reduced to a standard speeding ticket (which I must admit was more realistic). She responded to my initial query of services very promptly despite ...being after regular business hours and immediately put my mind at ease. She was thorough in extracting the details of my case and came up with some interesting questions about the legality of the officers actions. Throughout the whole process she was very informative and quick to respond to all my questions, I was very confident in her ability to represent me and quite satisfied with the outcome.

Ms. Medvin assisted me with a citation for more than twice the posted speed limit. She was frank and forward in assessing my case, specified what she needed to do and what I needed to do to prepare for court. On the day of trial she stopped in at the Alexandria police station to gather some backgroun...d on the officer in my case. She determined he did not do a great deal of traffic work so quizzed him outside of court about his handling of his laser. He had not calibrated the laser that day as required, so he agreed to an amended charge of 20 over the posted limit, rather than 38. Going into court I faced a suspended license, a $3,000 fine and 30 days. I was pleased to leave with nothing but a $150 fine on the reduced charge. Ms. Medvin is a true professional and a passionate advocate for her clients. I would recommend her without reservation.

As a government civilian serving in the intelligence community, a criminal conviction would put my security clearance at risk and could ultimately cost me my career. Ms. Medvin knew immediately the severity of the situation and what I had to lose. Ms. Medvin displayed confidence and concern while w...orking tirelessly on my case. We met several times and she was always flexible with my schedule and always found time to take my calls. She put my mind at ease from the start and followed through with a level of intensity and professionalism that truly impressed me. Ms. Medvin was able to have my case dismissed with a simple fine and no jail time. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her hard work and dedication. Because of Ms. Medvin I am able to continue doing a job that I love and provide for my family.

In January 2014, I contacted Ms. Medvin after being referred by a family friend. I teach at the university level and found myself struggling with a legal question posed by one of my students. Initially, I didn't think an attorney would take time to speak to me about my question. I've previously dealt... with several attorneys who seemed too busy to be bothered. I was remarkably pleased with Ms. Medvin's responsiveness to my question and her knowledgable advice she provided me with. My question specifically dealt with the admissibility of scientific evidence in our court system. I would like to thank her for taking time out of her busy schedule to provide me with the facts needed to answer my student's question. I would recommend Ms. Medvin to my friends and family if in the future they needed her legal services.
