"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.

"Larry is an Amazing lawyer!"

Saved my husbands life, very kind, respectful, law firm! Could not have asked for anyone better. Easy to talk to, understanding and hard working man! Does his absolute best to get justice for his clients. Very great staff. Shout out to Grace, super supportive and helpful and great at communicating. I couldn’t thank Larry enough for his hard outstanding work!!

"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.
