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.

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.

Last summer (2018), in the middle of a 6,500 retirement road trip at age 67, this federal retiree made the stupidest mistake ever. I was detected carry a small amount of personal-use contraband into the Pentagon, charged only with a misdemeanor when a felony was also involved. Never ever arrested b...efore, the next day I did a Google search for a defense attorney in Alexandria and Marina's profile was the only one I examined. In addition to appearing well groomed and attractive, cultured and cosmopolitan, with impressive awards, she responded personally and immediately to my inquiry. While the U.S. prosecutor's offer was generous on account of my history and age, Marina assisted in turning 12 months probation into six months - no fines, no costs, no fees. I never could have imagined finding better representation. I hope she will continue confidently clicking her stiletto heels across the courthouse marble floors and serve you as effectively as she served me! Thank you, Ms. Medvin!!

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.
