Randy Stuart Margulis

It has been a year since my divorce, and I am just now able to express my frustrations. Briefly: 1) I made a video of the work I had to do solo at the barn, caring for 6 horses. I do not know that he ever showed the judge the video-only 5 minutes long, but explained a lot; 2) He asked my ex-wife for ...an inventory of what she took from the house (everything). She never complied and the value of those items was never considered in resolving money owed to her; 3) She never provided information in financial disclosure and he never obtained this. I was the one who found out about undisclosed cash and forced that amount ($20,000) to be shared; 4) Especially at the end, Randy was unresponsive to emails and calls. He blamed his lapse in responding (of several weeks) on an email problem he was having. Maybe, but the problem was always present. There were other problems, but in summation, I am sure Randy knows the law, but I never felt he was advocating for me. There was never a meeting to try and work things out until the day of trial, when I was faced with losing everything I had left if I did not agree to terms to which I had minimal input. At $400 an hour, I expected a more vigorous defense and responsiveness.

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 found myself going through a divorce, only to find the attorney I hired, Randy Margulis, was dishonest and lacked in preparation. Constantly delayed the divorce, taking over 15 months and costing over $19k. On a divorce that had no kids. I caught him in several lies, by watching the emails f...rom the other attorney. Also, was not prepared at final hearing when Judge asked him amounts or if he had proper spread sheet.
