Marina Medvin is an absolute phenomenon. She possesses genius-level intelligence, outstanding knowledge of the law, a wealth of litigation experience, amazing drive and determination, faithful commitment to her clients, and remarkable professionalism. It’s plain to see why she holds the respect of her colleagues, both judges and lawyers, on all sides. Marina practically walks on water. She is a virtuous and principled person who has great compassion and a zealous determination to protect and defend her clients. She obviously loves what she does and approaches it, I suspect, not just as a job

Ms. Medvin, in spite of a trumped up charge against me and a highly dysfunctional judicial system, worked tirelessly to get my case dismissed and it was. Her knowledge of the law, her ability to precisely articulate my case before the judge and her professionalism worked so well in my favor. If anyone needs a defense lawyer I highly, highly recommend Ms. Medvin

Marina Medvin has given me my life back! After months of sleepless nights and anxiety filled days, she got my case dismissed. From our initial phone consultation, I felt absolutely confident that I was hiring the best attorney. She was transparent in her expectations of my case and the possible obstacles, which I appreciated. I wanted to be as knowledgeable about the process as I could and she was always to answer any questions or provide updates. Delays with my case because of the pandemic heightened my anxiety, but I was able to find solace in my absolute trust that I had the most competent,

5 star review! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marina on a case and had nothing short of an absolute positive experience. She is professional, courteous, and gets to the point! She is very well organized in her case approach, is on-point in making her arguments, and is not afraid to listen to suggestions. I had a most solid and professional experience with Marina and the Medvin Law Firm and will look forward to any future legal endeavors together.

I do not know where I would be today if not for Ms. Medvin. I was faced with very serious charges and a high potential for jail time--my situation was not very optimistic starting out. She graciously took on my case while already working a full case load, and took time to fully address all of my questions and concerns. She worked with the prosecutor to secure a plea deal for me that resolved all the charges against me, and significantly reduced the amount of my fine. She also worked with me to create an aftercare plan that met all the court's requirements. I seriously cannot thank her enough for

Marina Medvin is one of the hardest working and most diligent lawyers in Northern Virginia. I used to have a job which had me in court on a regular basis where I would see Marina work. When you see the same lawyers making arguments over and over for the same kinds of cases, you can tell when they're phoning it in or when they're not at their best. It was clear to me that Marina always brought her A game and took every single case seriously.
She is the real deal and always fights for her clients.

Frankly, Medvin Law deserves six stars.
Marina is a top-notch lawyer and a consummate professional. There's a reason why she's one of the best lawyers in the DMV area. She will hold a brief consultation, tell you what she needs from you regarding your case, and then goes to work. Her knowledge of the law is next to none and communication throughout your case will be excellent.
Regarding any legal matters, I'd highly recommend her services. You're in very good hands with her.

Dauntless Defense by the best of the best!
Ms. Marina Medvin is truly an exceptional attorney. She loves the Law, and it shows. Her expertise is best-in-class, she navigates the intricacies of the process without effort and commands respect of the prosecutors as a tough negotiator, projecting confidence with grace, elegance of logic that melts, but does not burn bridges behind.
Charged with a high rate of speeding and reckless driving on George Washington Parkway (located on federal land), charge that carries possible prison term and a very high fine, I started to look for an attorney to represent

Assault and Battery charge dismissed
I am so grateful to have had Marina Medvin defend me.
After all these years of walking the straight-and-narrow, I was in the most horrifying nightmare of my life. Thunderstruck from this accusation I was paralyzed and alone. 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. 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,

If you need a criminal lawyer you should read this review and I will tell you why. This is the woman to whom I will forever be indebted to. I was arrested for DUI and hired Marina to represent me. Marina was on top of everything for almost 2 years, kept me in the loop, listened to me when I cried and last week my sentence was reduced to Reckless Driving with no suspension of my license and no jail time. She saved my life and gave me a second chance. I have chosen her based on the reviews, now if you need a criminal attorney you do the same just based on this review. She and her paralegal Elena

Thank you Marina for making things so smooth for me. When you are dealing with a court situation, it is extremely stressful. You made me feel so comfortable and confident along the way. Also, your follow up was impeccable from the very first conversation we had. You were relentless during my trial, and I would have never received a Not Guilty verdict if I went with any other lawyer.

An excellent attorney with equally good relationships with the prosecuting attorneys and judges in the City of Alexandria. Efficient, thorough, knowledgeable with an extremely reassuring manner. I did what she asked, when she asked, and all that she asked and she provided me with an exceptional defense, ultimately resulting in a small fine rather than a much stronger punishment. I endorse Marina in the strongest possible way; you will not be disappointed if she is your legal counsel.

Marina is the best defense attorney I know. She is always working, always available, and always keeps her clients informed. One of the toughest things about needing a lawyer is that you are often in unfamiliar territory. Marina lets you know what to expect and updates you all the time as your case develops.
She’s very honest – she won’t sugar coat things for you. She is the epitome of professional. She is respectful of her clients and has a great working relationship with everyone who frequents the courthouses where she works – from the security staff to the judges, who obviously know

An excellent attorney who truly fights for her clients.
As an attorney, I can honestly say that I have no hesitation sending Marina work. I know she will fight as hard as she can - tooth and nail - for clients. I have had good results with joint clients, and I am confident that no case is too complex for her to handle.
Picking an attorney is about being comfortable and confident with your choice. I would recommend anyone looking for criminal representation to consider meeting with Marina to discuss their case - see for yourself that she is competent, hard-working, and savvy about the law
