I was charged with petit larceny and was terrified of what that meant for my future. I spent hours online researching attorneys and Marina Medvin was the most recommended and highly reviewed attorney in Northern Virginia and beyond. When you read about her accolades and high profile cases, it at firs...t seems unfathomable that just an average person could retain her and not feel intimidated or even be able to afford her. This couldn’t be further from the truth. During our initial phone consultation, she came across as competent, experienced, diligent, and transparent about similar cases she has handled. All of these qualities are what you hope to find in an attorney, but most importantly she was kind. I felt like I was not just a potential client for her, but a person. A person in a difficult situation that needed somebody to have their back. I hired her immediately after that conversation and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. She got my case dismissed and effectively gave me my life back. If you need representation do not look any further than Marina Medvin. Thank you Marina.

I am an attorney. A member of my family was recently charged with the commission of several criminal offenses in Alexandria, Virginia. All but one, a felony, were nol prossed. The case was tried before a judge, who rendered a not guilty verdict. That is the simple summary. This was a first o...ffense, but the charge was unique and serious. Our attorney was Marina Medvin, who devoted her considerable skill and experience to examining every detail of this unusual case, every strategy to create a reasonable doubt, and every possible argument to achieve a just result. And the result was just. Ms. Medvin remained accessible at all times to a family almost shattered by the experience. She would listen politely to, and even welcomed, my suggestions (not impositions) as an experienced litigator, but developed her own theory and approach. She exhibited perseverance and confidence and beat the odds. She has earned my highest recommendation.

I was charged with assault and battery and I am so grateful to have had Marina Medvin defend me. I am 66 years old, and after all these years of walking the straight-and-narrow I was in the most horrifying nightmare of my life. I was rattled and alone, and from the start Ms. Medvin took charge and ...care of me and my case. She wasted no time and gave me in full measure the instruction, clarity, options and guidance that I needed. She helped me to focus. And because of Marina Medvin's in-depth knowledge of the court system and all its members, and because of her skill and innate poise, she not only succeeded on my behalf, but she made a big fan of me. I was proud to have her stand up for and by me in court.

I would highly recommend attorney Marina Medvin if you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney in Northern Virginia. I had never been in trouble with the law, not even a speeding ticket, so to say I was overwhelmed and scared about my misdemeanor charges would be an understatement. When ...I contacted attorney Medvin on a Sunday evening, she was immediately available to speak with me. After consulting with her and a couple other defense attorneys in the area, it was clear that she would be the best choice for my needs. During the 3-month time frame (from arrest to court date), she incredibly attentive, concise, and readily available if I had any questions or concerns. In the months leading up to my court date, I complied with attorney Medvin's advice, and on my court date she was able to get the best possible outcome for me - the serious class 1 misdemeanor charged was dropped, and all I owed was a $75 fine for a local city ordinance. She made this very dark time in my life as easy and painless as possible. She has a great relationship with the prosecutor as well. I cannot thank you enough Marina, you have been so amazing.
