One in a Milliion

Atty. Margolin handled my mothers malpractice case and she received a substantial settlement in order to make her life as close to normal as possible. He was knowledgeable, sympathetic and tough but he worked with us and got her the settlement she deserved. I can not recommend this man highly enoug...h. He became not only our attorney but personal friend and confidant. To this day I can still call him with questions and he is more than happy to help with suggestions. That's why he is one in a million!

Appreciate his help

Attorney Margolin represented me in a serious personal injury case. We settled the case for a result I was very satisfied with. I could not have hoped for a better lawyer. He always involved me in decisions and explained everything in plain English. I understood all the strengths and weaknesses of my... case. The settlement was more than I had ever expected. I hope this is helpful. If I ever have another legal case, I will call Attorney Margolin first.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
