You were arrested by Officer Medlin in Brunswick County, and the numbers suggest your case faces steep odds. His dismissal rate is 14.3 percent—less than half Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. This puts him in the bottom 10 percent of officers statewide for dismissals. Out of 936 cases he's brought, nearly 86 percent resulted in convictions.

Regardless of your charge type, Officer Medlin's overall track record shows convictions are the typical outcome in Brunswick County courts when he makes the arrest.
