Ms. Medvin is an extremely thorough, honest, and attentive professional who works passionately on your behalf. I am rating her and forwarding this review because she exceeded my expectations. whatever my results would have been, I would know I had the best representation I could receive. If i neede...d a response, a call, or an update, she got back to me in a timely manner with up to the minute information.

Marina is everything you could hope for in a lawyer. She's on top of her game, always punctual and follows through with everything she says. She never gives you unrealistic expectations, but because of the network she has built and the excellent rapport she's developed, she is able to produce the mos...t favorable outcome available to her clients. There was a warrant out for my arrest, in the midst of me being a newly hired employee. The original sentence was supposed to be 10 days in jail for Failure to Appear. Marina made a few calls and arranged for an officer she trusted to escort me to turn myself in—which should have been frightening. But the officer was an amazing gentleman, and treated me with dignity, kindness and respect. Because Marina had also made arrangements ahead of time with the prosecutor and other offices involved, I saw the inside lobby area of a correctional facility for less than 45 minutes before I was released. She took care of everything behind the scenes—all I had to do was show up in court about a month later. A ten day sentence was reduced to a $100 fine, and I missed exactly one day of work which I was able to apply sick leave for. Marina Medvin is an amazing, and more importantly an extremely respectable attorney who keeps you informed every step of the way, and eases any sense of uncertainty and the qualms that come with needing legal representation. She will be my attorney for as long as she is in practice, and I would refer her in a heartbeat with 100% confidence to anyone seeking legal council and representation. Thanks to Marina, I was able to keep my job, my respect, and my squeaky-clean record! I've never met another lawyer with such great client relationships.

I was facing a petit larceny charge in Fairfax County and thoroughly researched all the best lawyers.  I then met with and/or spoke with at least six attorneys.  Retaining Marina Medvin was a no-brainer.  From our first phone conversation, I knew she was very different from all the rest.  She immedia...tely understood the case and had a direction that set me at ease.  She made an otherwise difficult process almost painless for me.  She dedicates 100% of her time and energy to your case on your court date and makes you feel like there is no other case she is working on but yours.  She’s present, always responsive, and proactive.  With Ms. Medvin you get superior lawyering, a cool and collected demeanor, laser focus, and an impressively capable presence.  She’s compassionate and makes you feel resilient during a time you would otherwise feel very vulnerable.  Ms. Medvin is a highly skilled attorney with just a little touch of “magic” that sets her apart from the rest.  Wether it is her keen sense of the law and legal arguments or her amazing people skills, she has something special that sets her apart in a sea of super lawyers.  With very little time to prepare, she negotiated with the prosecutor and my charges were dropped.  She's the best. The same qualities she has that make you feel lucky to have her as a lawyer, translates (very respectably) to the prosecutor and judge.  It’s confidence without arrogance.  Kindness without weakness.  She is very smart and clear, yet non-judgmental.  I would hope that I never “need” her services again, but she is the type of person you would want to do any kind of business with.  I think her pricing is beyond fair given what she brings to the table.  She’s a total class act.  She manages to be assertive and razor sharp without coming off as over the top, pushy or abrasive.  These qualities go far when negotiating with a prosecutor or appearing in front of a judge.  She’s passionate and works harder than any of the other people that are going to be involved, and everyone knows it.  Still, she’s not JUST a smart and hard working attorney, she has something extra that I have not seen another attorney bring to the table.  A type of compassion and sincerity that makes you feel like she has a personal stake in your well-being.  She fights hard for you as if you were a family member, without compromising any sense of professionalism.  There is absolutely no one else I would ever recommend (and I have met with and know a lot of top notch, terrific lawyers).  There is a reason she is so highly rated and she is so successful.  If you need an attorney for ANY reason, you want to try and get Marina Medvin on your side.  It will be the best decision you make in how you handle your case.  You won’t be sorry.

I recommend Ms. Medvin for representation in Northern Virginia without any reservations. She represented me in a DUI case, and she went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She made sure that I clearly understood each step of the process, and was willing to answer all questions I had along... the way. She is extremely accessible and responsive, and her response time to emails, calls and texts throughout the process was nothing less than prompt. Although the courts in Northern Virginia are quite conservative in these cases, she did everything to make sure that I received fairness and justice in my case. She followed up after the initial ruling was made and didn't leave anything unfinished. She has a great working relationship with the judges and commonwealth attorneys/prosecutors, and has enough experience with them as well as the police officers to give you the best representation. She is personable and very nice, she takes her time, and is thoughtful in how she interacts with and how she represents her clients. Equally important she was very realistic throughout the whole process and never promised me anything she couldn't deliver on. Overall my experience with Ms. Medvin was the more than I could have asked for, she exceeded all expectations.

I fully endorse Ms. Medvin. She did astounding work on my behalf when at times it seemed that things would not end up well. Her professionalism, attention to detail and passion for my case was top notch since the beginning. She was extremely responsive -- even late at night or on weekends. Ms. Medvin... realized how important this matter was to me and got an even better result than I expected. Because of her efforts, I have a misdemeanor and no jail time instead of a felony.
