Working with Marina was truly a pleasure. Ms. Medvin was realistic and kept me honest throughout the process while making sure I was provided every opportunity to get the best outcome. I was charged with a crime that had a mandatory 5 year minimum and with her guidance and support, I walked away after a nolle pros decision. Marina helped save my life and I can't thank her enough for what she did for me. Highly recommend!
Ms. Medvin succeeded in getting my case dismissed in spite of me being brought to court on trumped up charges and adjudicated in a highly dysfunctional judicial system. She worked diligently and untiringly in building a very solid defense for my case. In fact, she composed and submitted a motion that was accepted by both the prosecuting attorney and the judge, and, consequently, resulted in my case being dismissed. Ms Medvin is very professional, highly competent and very knowledgeable of the law. I highly recommend Ms Medvin.
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 was “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.
Marina treated me very fair and I never felt like she was just trying to get a paycheck. Very professional and knew her law. I always could count on her responding immediately when I had a question. I still have a life because of her and wonderful hardworking staff. Thank you Pat
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 first 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.
Marina is the best criminal attorney in Northern Virginia. She is very knowledgeable, professional and got a positive outcome for me. I am very grateful for all she did. I highly recommend Marina Medvin!!!
I am so happy with my choice to hire Marina for her legal services. She was accessible, knowledgeable, detailed, and best of all, got a positive outcome for me. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again.
Marina is the best! She represented me on a disorderly conduct case in Arlington County and from start to finish she made me feel at ease. My case ended in a dismissal without me having to ever step foot in the court room. Simply put, she is a WINNER with a proven track record.
After I had received a ticket for reckless driving in 25 miles zone I was very fortunate to call to Marina Medvin. In our initial conversation Marina promised to help with my problem and she definitely did! Marina made all the process extremely simple and easy. I received complete set of instructions and, most important, Marina freed me from necessity of court appearance. In the end she reduced my reckless driving to a simple speeding ticket. It was much more than I could hope for. I think that Marina is a fantastic layer. Thank you so much!
Marina represented me in Fairfax earlier this year. A smart and aggressive lawyer, she knows how to turn the dial up and down when necessary. Marina is direct with information and is available to all of her clients. She helped me to feel at ease on many occasions. Thank you Marina for a great job. I highly recommend Marina Medvin.
