I am an intelligent professional who has never been in trouble with the law nor close to being arrested in my entire life. I've always had the greatest respect for Police Officers until this one. I was horrified and shocked when I was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct in Public and Resis...ting Arrest. My boyfriend is a big guy and body builder who witnessed the entire event and was my witness. I’m a tall, thin 55 yr. old woman. The taller than me young Officer panicked for some reason and called for backup. 15 police cars showed up to find me in handcuffs sitting on the ground. I had to go in front of the Magistrate twice. The first time it was obvious to the Magistrate the young Officer couldn't figure out why he had arrested me either. Being at odds with the police and going to Court is a terribly helpless and frightening experience in and of itself. Not having a strong, competent attorney who will fight for your rights all the way would make it a never ending nightmare. After speaking with multiple attorneys, and much research, I hired Marina to defend me in this Criminal Case. Thankfully, I made the right choice in Marina. I knew I was in good hands the moment I met her. She is an experienced attorney who is smart, polished and knowledgeable and a complete pleasure to work with. Her calming presence combined with her accessibility and responsiveness is comforting to anyone in a difficult legal situation. I’m in awe of her passion for her clients’ rights and knowledge of the jurisdictions in which she practices. She knew of this officer’s previous questionable actions. She had knowledge and prior experience with the prosecutors and the judges. This knowledge gave me even more confidence in her abilities to defend me and was invaluable in her guiding me through the legal process and structuring my defense. My charges were dropped by the Prosecutor, of whom Marina had first-hand knowledge and experience defending her clients against. I will be eternally grateful to Marina. If I ever need an attorney again, she will be my one and only call. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of an excellent attorney. Thank you, Marina!

Marina Medvin simply knows how to fight for your rights. She represented me on a driving on a suspended license while on probation for DWI, and improper lane change in Alexandria. She quickly got the driving on a suspended charges dropped and the fine for the improper lane change reduce to only $30 d...ollars in less than i could ever expected. I only had to appear in court once which also made it convinient for me not to have to keep taking time off work to attend court. She was nothing short of amazing. I wish I had hired her on my previous case of DWI. I highly recommend her to anyone with legal problems. I know if I ever have another legal matter to resolve, she will be the one to call. Thank you Ms. Medvin for your proffesionalism.
