no better ally or more dedicated defender

In search for help and guidance after the most unsettling and absolutely frightening experience of my life, I came across Ms. Medvin’s firm online and submitted a new client inquiry. Within an hour, Ms. Medvin PERSONALLY called me to talk with me and discuss my case. The first thing she asked me w...as “are you ok?”. I will never forget this. After a night of panic and incessant worry, her genuine concern — for someone who was not even a client yet — created an immediate level of trust and understanding, and for the first time, I felt at ease with everything going on. Ms. Medvin listened attentively and, in great detail, talked me through the intricacies of my case and the path forward. Throughout the process — from that day until the case was decided — she was readily available and communicated with me every step of the way. I always felt like a constant top priority to Ms. Medvin and that she was looking out for me in every way possible. Even though my case recently concluded, Ms. Medvin has remained in regular touch with me and has been helpful beyond what she was initially hired to do. I cannot recommend Ms. Medvin and her firm more highly and enthusiastically. Any person would be very hard-pressed to find a better ally and a more dedicated defender.

God sent!

Ms. Medvin was hired to represent my son. The charges against him were multiple felonies. As a mother she made me feel hopeful without sugar coating anything, or having any illusions about the severity of the charges, but she also explained what she thought was going to happen. She explained the la...w and what our options were. She is very smart and very passionate about her job. She fights for justice! In this case we felt my son was definitely wronged and Marina fought tooth and nails for us. At the end everything was dismissed, I highly believe this had to do with her extensive knowledge of the judicial system and long time relations with Judges and prosecutors . I HIGHLY recommend her. We are very grateful for all she did for us. We truly couldn’t have picked a better Lawyer.

Persistence and Tenacity

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.

Perfect outcome, fast responses, and efficient

From the moment I first spoke with Marina I knew she meant business. I was charged with assualt & battery and public intoxication and was deeply worried about the impact it would have on my record and career. Marina was honest and laid put the best course of action for me which I followed before my c...ourt date. Throughout the whole process she was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had and gave me valuable guidance along the way. She cares about her clients and does a wonderful job of instilling confidence. On the day of court, some unexpected events occured which we had already had a plan for thus she was quick on her feet and came to a resolution that ended up getting all charges against me dismisses. I would not think twice about hiring Marina again and recommend her without hesistation.
