Testimonials

"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.

"Got Myself On The Right Path"

Dear Mr. Margolis,

I really appreciate everything you did when I thought immigration was coming for me. I was pretty sad. The next morning, the guard informed me that immigration canceled my detainer.  I was so excited at that point, knowing that I be getting out.

I got myself on the right path by going back to school to get my diploma, get a job, and staying out of trouble.

Thank you again!

"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.

"A Stand Up Guy"

Larry Margolis is a tough minded, hard working Ann Arbor Attorney who will go to bat for you and win. Not only that, but he is a stand up guy with a real human side, who treats his clients like their problem is the most important problem he has. I would recommend him to anyone who needed his expert legal advice.

"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.
