Representation Exceeded My Expectation

When I first contacted Atty Margolin seeking assistance with my divorce I was anxious, emotional, confused, and overwhelmed. I was facing a divorce action in NY and living outside the state. This felt like my worst nightmare. Atty Margolin was very thorough and patient as he walked me through what th...is process was going to look like from beginning to end. He assured me that he would fight for the best outcome for me. While I had consulted with other attorneys, it was the Law Offices of Laurence Margolin that provided me with a sense of safety and restored my hope that I would be okay and made financially whole after all was said and done. Atty Margolin is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He was tenacious as he represented and defended my interests before the court. He was focused and very detail oriented. He never allowed me to get caught up and/or sidetracked by the emotional landscape of the divorce action. He explained and discussed all aspects of the negotiations with me. I was able to trust him. I must say that I was most impressed by the depth and breadth of his knowledge and the way he stood up to the high pressure and bullying tactics employed by the opposition. Thanks to Atty Margolin I received a favorable and fair settlement. There is absolutely NO way I could have possibly gotten the results I did without 1) God and 2) Atty Margolin. His service and assistance far exceeded my expectations. He earned and was worth every penny!

Excellent Divorce Attorney-really help me make smart choices

Attorney Margolin - help me through a difficult divorce. He took over my case from another attorney who failed to represent my financial claims aggressively. My case was stalled in court for 2 1/2 years with a trial still down the road. He negotiated a settlement within six months and saved my pensio...n. He help me receive an equitable resolution of assets that in Suffolk County which is difficult for a man to obtain. I very pleased with Attorney Margolin services and would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for someone to be a strong defender of their rights in a contested divorce matter.

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.
