Testimonials

"Overall, my experience with Larry and his team two years ago was amazing."

They always answered all the questions I had they were kind and compassionate they were effective and worked in my best interest I would highly recommend them for any of your legal needs you surely won’t regret it.

"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!

"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.

"Great attorney – personal, smart, aggressive – and he does it all with ease and a smile!"

I met Mr. Margolis in the Fall 2010, literally almost 5 years to the date of this writing. He was referred to me by a professional colleague. At the time of this referral, my life was in shambles due to stress and anxiety over a legal matter which over the course of several months was able to be resolved only because I had such a dedicated and tireless advocate representing me, Larry Margolis. Simply put, he did not let the other attorney representing my adversary in our negotiation get the upper hand – he helped me to stand steadfast and get an appropriate resolution to this matter, which ultimately has allowed me to get on with my life in a very productive manner.

If you are looking for a consummate professional who is able to do laps around just about any other attorney without that attorney knowing what is taking place – look to no further than Larry Margolis.

"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.
