Testimonials

"You played such a critical role in helping me stay on the right course."

Hi Larry,

Three years ago you helped me get a deferred sentencing agreement on a misdemeanor-level MDOP charge.

Over the last month, I applied for and secured an offer for, if not my dream job, then at least a job that is a rung on the ladder I want to be on. I am doubling my salary and getting in with a very well-respected company that does innovative work. My background check just came back today and there is nothing on it, it’s smooth sailing ahead.

Thank you so much for the work you did in getting me that outcome. This could have been the kind of thing that followed me around, forced difficult conversations, and otherwise complicated my ability to capitalize on opportunities like this. You played such a critical role in helping me stay on the right course and it has led me to one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I’ll never take it for granted and continue to live in a way that proves giving me a chance was the right call. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Sincerely,
Max G.

"Glad To Have You On My Side"

Hey Mr. Margolis,

I’m glad that I had you on my side, not only as a lawyer, but as a man that sees potential in me and is dedicated to helping me have another chance. I really appreciate you doing what you did. Without you, I could’ve been deported. So thank you for all your time that you spent on my case and effort.

"Fantastic Lawyer"

Mr. Margolis has done a great job representing and defending our family member during deportation proceedings. Our prior attorney has mishandled the case due to lack of knowledge of immigration vs criminal law. Larry was able to get the charges greatly reduced based on improper legal counsel grounds. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking legal help for immigration. Thank you!

"Larry and his staff are an amazing team!"

Larry made the whole court process comfortable and gave me the sense that things are going to be ok. He is professional, punctual and confident. Ive talked to other lawyers in the past and they lacked a lot of these qualities. Thank you Larry for being a master at your craft and helping the little people that need it.

"Overall, my experience with Larry and his team two years ago was amazing."

They always answered all the questions I had they were kind and compassionate they were effective and worked in my best interest I would highly recommend them for any of your legal needs you surely won’t regret it.
