Testimonials

"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!

"There will never a point you question the decision you made to work with him."

Larry is a magician. I recently worked with Larry to clear up an old DUI and several other drinking related infractions. Larry was able to get this all reduced to a simple charge which came with a couple hundred dollar fine. A simple fine with no blemish on my driving record or lingering probation. A cut and dry ticket and it was over. Larry and his team approached this with poise and handled my case with ease. If you want to work with someone who truly gets behind your case and works for you I would suggest working with Larry.

"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!

"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.

"Great"

Larry took on a tough case that involved my son. Larry did and extraordinary job. We are extremely grateful. And we would highly recommend Larry.
