Will fight for you
Randy helped me through a difficult time and and a painful divorce. He shouldered all the details, broke things down in a way I could understand them and never made me feel like he didn't have time for me or that my case was 1 of many on his desk. He gives his full attention and protects his clients...

An Excellent Lawyer
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...

A truly wonderful lawyer.
What a wonderful and talented Buffalo divorce lawyer. Randy took a no nonsense approach with my case, and explained what I could expect right from the start. He was efficient and got the job done, without going over my retainer. His compassion for people could really show.

Excellent Lawyer. I Highly Recommend!
Randy obtained a divorce for me in just over 3 months. Every issue was settled, and my kids and I are happy and well adjusted. I told Randy I wanted a friendly divorce, and that's what I got. My ex and I stayed on speaking terms and I feel that I got exactly what I was entitled to.

I Highly Recommend
I had a great experience with Mr. Margulis. He explained the law, and my circumstances legally, before going to court, so I knew what to expect. He was very knowledgeable and forceful in court. He won my case!
