Great Attorney!

We hired Ms. Medvin after our teenager was charged with two offenses as a juvenile. Ms. Medvin worked tirelessly as an attorney and advocate, and managed to have the charges dismissed. I would heartily recommend Ms. Medvin and would hire her again in a second if I needed a lawyer.

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!

Our son was given a clean slate!

Our son was charged with felony and misdemeanor larceny three weeks before he turned 18 years old. Marina was great to work with. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She answered any questions our family had within 5-6 hours - even weekends and evenings! She represented our son for a set... fee...no surprise charges. She took the time to clearly explain the charges against him and prepared us for a variety of outcomes. She is calm and focused. Marina worked with the prosecutor and in the end the charges were dropped and the case dismissed. Our son has a clean record! I wholeheartedly recommend Marina to other parents who need representation for their juvenile.
