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.

"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.

"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.

"One in a million!"

October 1, 2015

Larry Margolis took our case when others would not. Larry knew going in that our case would be an uphill battle, however, with his expertise and persistence,

WE WON!

Larry is very personable, genuinely caring, and so easy to work with. We were lucky to have found him and blessed today to call him our “friend”.

"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.
