Testimonials

"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.

~ Christopher P.

"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!

"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.

"Larry is a great lawyer!"

He was able to help my brother tremendously!! Larry is very knowledgeable, professional, and he works very hard to help his clients receive the justice that they are due. Larry also goes above and beyond to support his clients and their families. I thank God for choosing Larry to represent my brother! If you want the BEST to represent you in your case choose Larry Margolis!!! 10 out of 10, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

"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.
