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 but as a “calling.” Not only is Ms. Medvin extremely diligent, but she has that unique ability to think creatively. She sees how to defend you, even when other lawyers would throw in the towel. She opens doors that others say can't be opened. Ms. Medvin is a straight-talker, she will not let you cling to unrealistic expectations, but she will find the way to defend you, and will fight for you in every way possible. Additionally, Ms. Medvin gives you the feeling that she sincerely cares about your well-being and is driven to succeed on your behalf. If you ever face a great crisis in your life, as I did, there are no guarantees. But it takes a lot of pressure off when you know you are in the hands of a superb, top-shelf attorney. Marina Medvin is that attorney. One of America’s finest.

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

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.

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.

First hand experience I will say I was very impressed how professional and quick they were to answer my questions. Even during late hours I was about to talk to someone for advice. The advice given was very meaningful for my situation and they held nothing back, but were in my corner for the fight. This is what you want, not just someone to make a deal, but to fight for you. Definitely will use them again.

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.

Marina is a superstar. We are working together on high profile cases and based on her skills, judgment, ethics and temperament I would not hesitate to trust her with the legal welfare of any of my clients - or that of myself or my family.

Marina Medvin is an accomplished attorney with years of experience. She is relied on for her knowledge and understanding of criminal law, and has been very successful in defending her clients. The Medvin Law Firm is my first recommendation to anyone for criminal representation.

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.
