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!

"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!

"Thanks to Laurence, I have the opportunity to be a legal citizen in the US"

What Laurence did for me? I was charged fleeing from an officer, reckless driving, and driving without a state license. I pled no content to all my charges, then I got arrested for immigration for having a felony on my record. I had to hire an immigration attorney, and he recommended that I have the felony removed from my record. He referred me to hire Laurence Harry Margolis, who took on my case no questions asked. He was able to drop my plea, and once he took it to trial he was able to drop my felony charge. So there’s no doubt that Laurence is one of the best attorneys out there. So if anyone is in need of an attorney, don’t think twice about it twice and hire him. Thanks to him I’m with my family, and have the chance to get my life together. I’m super thankful for Laurence, he did an amazing job.

"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.

"We are forever grateful."

I highly recommend Mr. Margolis! Trust me when I say you will not regret your decision to hire him.

Our family would hire him again without hesitation. You want a lawyer who is honest, intelligent, diligent, professional and also friendly, caring and compassionate.

Mr. Margolis is that lawyer and he will do everything he can to help!

He worked hard on our case and was persistent in doing everything he could to have a better outcome for us. He is a genuinely nice person and was honest with us about what he could and couldn’t do in our case which we appreciated so much.

He helped our family in one of the most difficult times and was always quick to respond to us when we needed him. We will never forget what he has done to help us.
