Incredible

Marina represented me in a marijuana possession case in December 2012. The cop had lied about every aspect of my arrest, interrogation, and said that I had admitted fault at the scene, disregarded me asking for a lawyer, among other things. She managed to get the case dropped down to a no contest p...lea to paraphernalia and only a $200 fine. Definitely would recommend her to anyone and everyone fighting a drug or paraphernalia charge.

Represented me on possession of marijuana

Ms. Medvin is a first class lawyer. She represented me on possession of marijuana. Despite a tight time line until court date, she carefully listened to the charges, asked me specific questions about the situation and outlined the options . She has excellent communication skills and her legal coun...cil (during consultation, follow up discussions and at court in front of the judge) was first to none. She responded to all my emails and phone calls promptly and addressed my questions and concerns to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend her to family and friends and whom ever needs an excellent criminal lawyer.

Possession charge dismissed

I was charged with possession of marijuana in alexandria and was devastated. I just returned from vacation and i thought that my career was now over and a year of probation and asap awaited me. Not to mention a record, so I sought out the best attorney that I could find. I researched online for ...top ranked lawyers for this field who regularly practiced in alexandria and came across Marina Medvin's info and I gave her a ring. Within minutes i felt very comfortable with her approach and enthusiasm. This is someone who will truly fight for your legal rights the best way possible. After selecting Marina to represent me I awaited my court date. It was a stressful time waiting, but Marina was helpful at keeping me at ease throughout the whole process. The day of the trial my case was dismissed without even seeing the judge! Needeless to say that is not a guarantee for everyone but I believe this is one attorney that truly will give it their all. I highly recommend Marina's legal representation should you find yourself in a legal bind.

Simply the Best!

Simply the Best! Believe it or not, I found Attorney Marina Medvin on the internet, and I must admit, I was initially concerned about hiring an attorney from the internet, rather than through a personal referral. However, for those of you who may have similar concerns, you can rest easy knowing tha...t you are getting the best criminal defense attorney in town! My son was charged with possession of marijuana and underage possession of alcohol in Fairfax County, and most attorneys will just take your money and accept the First Offender program without telling you that it requires a guilty plea, and it will remain on your child’s permanent record. However, Attorney Marina Medvin took the time to explain all options, and was willing to do the “hard work” associated with going to trial if necessary to preserve his clean record. Ultimately, she was able to get the possession of marijuana charge completely dropped, and the Alcohol charge is to be dropped upon successful completion of a private alcohol class. There was no guilty plea, no loss of license, and no requirement to enter into the ASAP program, which is a significant accomplishment, but too complicated to explain here. Bottom line, Attorney Marina Medvin’s patience, responsiveness, professionalism and prowess as a criminal defense attorney were nothing short of extraordinary! She is simply the best, and you will NOT find a better attorney than Attorney Marina Medvin!
