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.

DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving!

I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin! I was charged with a DUI after having failed a field sobriety test and a field breathalyzer reading of 0.19. At the police station I had a BAC of 0.14. I am a young professional who has physical limitations which had hindered my ability to properly c...arry out the field sobriety test. In addition, my career would be in jeopardy should a criminal DUI conviction were to be on my record. Initially I had sought legal counsel from an attorney who appeared on a quick web search. After retaining this law firm, discussing my case and meeting with this attorney; I quickly knew this firm didn't have my best interest at heart. I learned of Marina Medvin after dissolving my relationship with my previous counselor, and I am thankful I had done so! Immediately I saw a difference. Attorney Medvin introduced herself as Marina and after a few minutes of discussing my predicament with her, I felt at ease. She is professional, extremely well-educated, personable and brilliant in every regard to say the least! She took my case and had presented me with all of the information necessary to help me. Over the next next several months, she was available to answer any questions and address all concerns I had throughout this process. She was my advocate and truly diligent every step of the way. I had received a new position which required a background check, I had made Marina aware of this, within minutes she responded and drafted a letter to present to my employer; in-short securing my new position. On the day of the trial, she was unsastisfied with the circumstances and successfully argued a continuance, which was accepted. Her professionalism in the courtroom and the respect she commands from prosecutors and judges, truly speaks for itself. After one month we were heard before a judge who is notoriously apathetic. Marina bargained with the prosecution and presented our case diligently and eloquently. I had won a victory by avoiding a criminal charge of a DUI which had been reduced to a reckless driving! A victory of which she received accolades from her fellow colleagues as we were exiting the courthouse. If ever I were to thank someone and owe them for my future, it is Marina Medvin, Esq. This was and hopefully my only indiscretion with the judicial system, but for any reason I or anyone I cared for, were to find themselves in a nightmare like this; I would only trust Marina to take care of me or someone dear to me. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Marina Medvin, Esq.!

Best criminal lawyer

Without a doubt in my mind I can say that Ms Medvin is the best criminal lawyer that is there in the DC/ Virgiia area..I had 2 grand larceny and during the preliminary hearing itself one charge was dropped and the other was reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time . My case was complicated due to m...y green card status and Ms Medvin took that into consideration right from day 1 and made sure that I get an outcome that didn't lead to deportability or inadmissibility. If you are stuck in any criminal proceedings with the state then she is the right person to talk to . Ms Medvin is smart, intelligent, considerate, knows the law in and out and had a tremendous track record. The best thing about her is that she is very straight forward and lays out the situation and the consequences as it is so that you know the intensity of the situation and are prepared to fight it. She was there with me every step of the way 24x7 and I mean it literally . You can call her day or night anytime if the week and she will always be there to answer all your questions. When you are stuck in this difficult situation you need a lawyer who would leave no stone unturned till you get your desired outcome and Ms Medvin is that lawyer . I owe her everything .

Professional, Honest and an Educator

Ms. Medvin was my representation in a recent DUI/DWI case where I refused to submit to a breathalyzer exam/sobriety check. I contacted Ms. Medvin on a referral. She was extremely responsive and made me feel as though I were her only client. She appeared with me at every court appearance and quickl...y followed up with reports on next steps. She consistently provided objective guidance and a clear set of options to consider in such a DUI/DWI case. Ms. Medvin was effective in educating me on the DUI/DWI laws and the possible outcomes of a conviction. This allowed me to make informed decisions on how to move forward through the court process. I never felt out of touch with the status of my case. I knew if I had a question it would be answered honestly and with with my interests being considered. I received a reduced sentence, was granted special driving restrictions and minor fine as a result. Ms. Medvin made it a point to sit with me through my initial probation screening to insure all the awarded driving restrictions were noted. This was extremely important as the probation office had not received this information and without her supervision may have been excluded in my probation terms. And finally, she provided (without hesitation) her assistance months later in submitting a travel request on my behalf. I can not thank her enough for efforts on my behalf. Marina Medvin's legal experience and service to the client is world class.
