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.

"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.

"I would strongly suggest Larry and Margolis Law Firm to anyone looking for legal guidance."

Larry is a very professional, responsible, warm-hearted, and quick-acting lawyer.  He was really kind to accept my case and close it with a decent offer in a timely manner. He responded quickly to my initial query and paid close attention to scheduling a face-to-face interview with me. He patiently explained all of the questions I had while also maintaining honesty and transparency.

"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.

"Outstanding Experience!"

Larry agreed to accept my hopeless case after I was denied by several attorneys in town. He took my matters very personal and despite the odds-won my case with ease and confidence. An excellent attorney and an amazing person. Thank you!

Our Results

Title IX Defense: Margolis Law defends college student against university investigation Our client, a student of a local university, was accused of sexual misconduct by fellow students.

We successfully moved to overturn a young Mexican National’s impaired driving conviction in Monroe County.

Any drunk driving conviction is considered a “significant misdemeanor,” making the client ineligible for the discretionary relief […]
