This was my time using an attorney for personal reasons and after being charged with public intoxication. I began researching attorneys and selected Marina immediately. She is a no-nonsense type of professional, and extremely organized, prepared and communicates with her clients very quickly. Afte...r selecting her firm, she presented a game plan that would put me in the best position for an excellent outcome and her experience and recommendations made all the difference in my opinion. As mentioned, I did not have a lot of other attorney experience to compare my case to, but I was very pleased with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I was arrested for Intoxication in Public. The prosecutor was about to make it a more serious charge and change it to a felony. Marina was flawless. The way she was able to work out a deal and put forth my best interest was amazing. Her work ethic, determination and the way she truly cared for me and... my case amazed me. She was fierce, intelligent, and professional. I truly believe I chose the best attorney and am so grateful for finding her.

Without a doubt in my mind I can say that Ms Medvin is the best criminal lawyer that is there in the DC/ Virgiia area..I had 2 grand larceny and during the preliminary hearing itself one charge was dropped and the other was reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time . My case was complicated due to m...y green card status and Ms Medvin took that into consideration right from day 1 and made sure that I get an outcome that didn't lead to deportability or inadmissibility. If you are stuck in any criminal proceedings with the state then she is the right person to talk to . Ms Medvin is smart, intelligent, considerate, knows the law in and out and had a tremendous track record. The best thing about her is that she is very straight forward and lays out the situation and the consequences as it is so that you know the intensity of the situation and are prepared to fight it. She was there with me every step of the way 24x7 and I mean it literally . You can call her day or night anytime if the week and she will always be there to answer all your questions. When you are stuck in this difficult situation you need a lawyer who would leave no stone unturned till you get your desired outcome and Ms Medvin is that lawyer . I owe her everything .

From top to bottom, Marina is an incredible attorney that takes great pride in what she does, and does it very well. At all times throughout the process she was accessible, responsive, and caring. Despite the odds being against me, and despite my own initial missteps in dealing with the police, Marin...a produced the ideal outcome (all charges dismissed). While I couldn't venture to say she could manifest such an exceptional result in every circumstance, I can confidently say she would produce the best result possible for any person undertaking her services. I would recommend her to anyone with the greatest level of enthusiasm and conviction.

My family and friends jokingly call me "Officer Safety" because I'm so rigid about following the law and I have such a spotless driving record. So when I was charged with reckless driving for not stopping for a school bus, I was terrified. I called Marina the day after I was charged and her calm, pro...fessional demeanor immediately put me at ease. She was very clear about the seriousness of the charges against me, and she never promised me any particular outcome. As the mom of a child with multiple disabilities, I was very worried about the possibility of jail time or loss of my driver's license. Marina gave 150% effort to my case and put forward the strongest defense possible. In the end, it was a good thing I hired such a skilled attorney: the police officer had a very different version of the events surrounding my case, and without Marina's advocacy on my behalf, it would have been impossible to get him to agree to an amended charge. Marina was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to amend the charge to a traffic infraction with a $250 fine. Put Marina's contact info in your address book today. I hope you never need to call a criminal defense attorney but if you do, you should have Marina's number at the ready. She was a Godsend to me and I'll forever be grateful to her.
