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!

"If and when I need a lawyer again, I’ll happily call Larry again."

Larry was amazing! He was professional, charming, and was upfront with the process while transparent with the cost. Him and his staff were extremely responsive whenever I had questions or when my case progressed.

"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!

"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.

"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.
