Testimonials

"Larry is an Amazing lawyer!"

Saved my husbands life, very kind, respectful, law firm! Could not have asked for anyone better. Easy to talk to, understanding and hard working man! Does his absolute best to get justice for his clients. Very great staff. Shout out to Grace, super supportive and helpful and great at communicating. I couldn’t thank Larry enough for his hard outstanding work!!

"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!

"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”.

"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.

"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!
