Testimonials

"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!

"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!

"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.

"Larry and his staff are an amazing team!"

Larry made the whole court process comfortable and gave me the sense that things are going to be ok. He is professional, punctual and confident. Ive talked to other lawyers in the past and they lacked a lot of these qualities. Thank you Larry for being a master at your craft and helping the little people that need it.

"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.
