Testimonials

"Without a doubt, the best attorney in Ann Arbor!"

Mr. Margolis expertise, professionalism, and dedication to his clients are unparalleled. From start to finish, he and his staff were phenomenal I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Highly recommend!

"Highly recommend Larry if you need an attorney who truly cares!"

I can’t thank Larry and the Margolis Law Firm enough! Larry helped me and my family during a tough time with compassion, empathy, and incredible knowledge of the law. He was thorough, diligent, and fought for us, making sure the justice system worked the way it should for innocent people. Larry explained everything clearly, stuck to the facts, and truly had our best interests at heart. His prices are fair for the quality of service he provides, and we feel it was worth every penny. My family is so impressed that we’ve decided to make Larry our go-to lawyer for all our legal and business needs.

"Awesome Lawyer"

Larry is a spectacular lawyer! He is thorough, professional, upfront, and very knowledgeable. I recommend Larry to all my family and friends!!! He has helped me with simple things as well as complex matters. I can’t say enough good things about how Larry handles his practice and his clients!

"A true life-saver"

Larry was, for lack of a better word, a godsend to me and my family when we required his services for a criminal defense case. Throughout the entire process, Larry worked very thoroughly and effectively to ensure that I was able to achieve the outcome I desired. Larry’s extensive knowledge of the law, tact, comforting personality and excellent sense of judgment were critical in his achieving the positive outcome.

At all points of the case, Larry always had a strong grasp on its direction – with this information and his experience in past cases, he was able to contact the right people at the right place at the right time. The specific steps that Larry took were very well thought out and ultimately helped me achieve the outcome I needed.

Larry and his staff were, at all points, completely honest about the status of my case. During my regular phone calls with him, Larry clearly outlined the possible outcomes of the case at each step and always kept me informed as to what I could expect and when. My family and I both feel that this consistent communication helped us trust him even more and, more importantly, kept us relatively calm during this troubling process.

I would highly recommend Larry as an attorney. Not only was he able to win my case, he did it while ensuring that I remained relaxed throughout the entire process. Thank you again, Larry!

"Excellent Attorney"

After months of court dates that seemed to always go back to square one with other attorneys, Larry was recommended. Larry got my situation resolved faster and more easily than I could have thought possible. I would recommend (and have recommended) Larry to anyone who needs a good attorney who handles himself with tact and knowledge. Thank you again, Larry!
