Testimonials

"The Margolis Law Firm was extremely helpful in getting charges dropped against my husband"

My husband was arrested because of an unfortunate situation that did not warrant the seriousness of the charges he was facing. I hired Laurence Margolis, for a very reasonable fee, to help our family in this very scary time in our lives. Within two weeks, “Larry” had arranged for the charges to be dropped by the prosecution. I cannot thank Mr. Margolis and his office enough for the assistance they provided my husband. I would definitely recommend his office to friends and family, or anyone who needs a lawyer!

"Great"

Larry took on a tough case that involved my son. Larry did and extraordinary job. We are extremely grateful. And we would highly recommend Larry.

"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!

"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.

"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.
