Testimonials

"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!

"Great attorney – personal, smart, aggressive – and he does it all with ease and a smile!"

I met Mr. Margolis in the Fall 2010, literally almost 5 years to the date of this writing. He was referred to me by a professional colleague. At the time of this referral, my life was in shambles due to stress and anxiety over a legal matter which over the course of several months was able to be resolved only because I had such a dedicated and tireless advocate representing me, Larry Margolis. Simply put, he did not let the other attorney representing my adversary in our negotiation get the upper hand – he helped me to stand steadfast and get an appropriate resolution to this matter, which ultimately has allowed me to get on with my life in a very productive manner.

If you are looking for a consummate professional who is able to do laps around just about any other attorney without that attorney knowing what is taking place – look to no further than Larry Margolis.

"Excellent Attorney, person and I am glad I called him."

Contacted Larry on a Monday evening and informed him of my case and my scheduled court date, which was three days later on that Thursday. We walked into the courtroom and 30 mins later the case was terminated. Excellent Attorney, person and I am glad I called him.

WE WON!

Larry is very personable, genuinely caring, and so easy to work with. We were lucky to have found him and blessed today to call him our “friend”.

I highly recommend Mr. Margolis! Trust me when I say you will not regret your decision to hire him.

Our family would hire him again without hesitation. You want a lawyer who is honest, intelligent, diligent, professional and also friendly, caring and compassionate.

Mr. Margolis is that lawyer and he will do everything he can to help!

He worked hard on our case and was persistent in doing everything he could to have a better outcome for us. He is a genuinely nice person and was honest with us about what he could and couldn’t do in our case which we appreciated so much.

He helped our family in one of the most difficult times and was always quick to respond to us when we needed him. We will never forget what he has done to help us.
