Randy Stuart Margulis

I hired Randy for a complicated divorce and custody case. I found him to be real tough and aggressive on my behalf, and easy for me to deal with. His paperwork was very thorough and complete, and he was always quick to respond to my calls and questions. We got great results and I am very satisfied....

Do not hire this team. His co-council represented me for child custody and now I have to pay another because NOTHING in my custody orders can be used for contempt when he is not following it. They knew my wishes and I ended up with much WORSE outcomes then even before. They also charged me for child ...support paperwork that they KNEW they could not even assist with. they convinced me I needed to get orders and I wasted 6,000 dollars. Do NOT HIRE.

I retained Randy's services to fight for custody of my children. Based on his reputation I expected a lot more than I got! Randy spent little time working on my case. He often sent an "associate" to court appearances rather than showing up himself. There were several critical moments when he was ...not available to help!! The few times he did show up in court, he was grossly unprepared and the opposing counsel made both he and I look foolish, basically walked all over him! Every time I needed to consult with Randy it was like he was looking at my case for the first time! Over the course of the case, there were hours of time spent just rehashing what had already been covered in a previous consult and bringing Randy back up to speed. And of course he then turned around and billed me for all that wasted time. Randy never told me the same story twice! Numerous times during my case he would say he could accomplish "A, B and C", and then turn around and say he didn't know where I came up with that idea, but rather it would go "D, E and F". And the next time we would talk about the same issue it would go to "G, H and I"!! He also did not even come close to accomplishing the items he was retained for. Because the case became more complicated than I believe he anticipated, he told me our association was done and he would not be addressing the remaining matters! My experience with this attorney were far different from the reviews I see posted here. I guess my warning would be that unless you are ready to throw down tens of thousands of dollars, don't expect much from this man. I paid him over 1/3 of my take home salary within one year and Randy did not accomplish anything for me that I couldn't have done on my own!

I was his client March of 2015. He was sent a copy of judgement for approval in July 2015 and the case was almost finalized. He did not respond to it and cost me money and time. I had to go to court and go to trial. I requested him to get subpoena the documents for the child custody evaluations and h...e never did. While my wife did get it. Then Randy claims that he did know why the child custody evaluator gave importance to the documents. He has memory issues.
