Testimonials

"Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and straight forward."

Mr. Margolis was extremely helpful both before and after my case went to the courts. Not only did he lay out all of the options I had at my disposal but he also gave me his recommendation on what he thinks would be best and what he thought my best, and worst possible outcomes would be. He was able to help me get a lenient judgment by the courts and stayed in contact with me throughout my probation to make sure that things were still going smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a good attorney and needs help. I can honestly say that if I did not hire him that my outcome from my case would have been far different.
