Incomparable attorney!

How important is your case to you? Exactly...you have to retain Randy Margulis. When you meet him, you'll know. I have encountered lawyers (in the past) that would push my rights/needs to the side. This time around I did more research when choosing a lawyer. I am glad I did! Randy Margulis is THE ...only lawyer that I will ever TRUST to handle any of my cases. You will have the best representation! Randy will fight very hard for you and your child, or any other matter. I was extremely tired of dealing with crabby Judges and their annoying eye rolling, being walked on by finger pointing opposing counsel, and feeling 2 inches big without a voice. It is the worst feeling to feel defeated before the race starts. Randy was MY VOICE for my child, my strength, my power, and my advisor. My young child is unable to stick up for himself and he surely couldn't tell his parents/Judge what was best for him. I have learned a lot from this long god awful experience. Get the lawyer who will fight for your child's best interest. I could write a book pertaining to my incredible experience with Randy Margulis!! In my case, I was awarded sole custody! Randy is such a very well organized attorney who handles erratic situations in a calming matter. Things will occur that are out of your control and are entirely infuriating, and Randy will calmly bring your anxiety level down. Take note: All lawyers are busy. That is the nature of the job. In most instances, you will need to embark on something unique...patience. They do not forget about you so calm down. ~Only good things happen to those who wait. ~

Randy Margulis - experienced, aggressive, dedicated and effective

Randy Margulis was my attorney in 2009. He was recommended to me - based on his solid reputation - which led to our first consultation meeting, and his approach and knowledge of Domestic Relations Law impressed me so I secured his services. He is aggressive, dedicated, thorough, responsive and effe...ctive. Ultimately my case was handled well leading to a favorable outcome.

I would highly recommend Randy for an attorney!

I retained Randy for my divorce/child custody court case. All I can say is that the results of my case turned out better than I had ever imagined they would. He was always assertive, aggressive when he needed to be, and I always felt like he had my back. He was very dedicated to all my needs and neve...r left any question or concern unanswered. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Domestic Relations Laws and I always felt confident with his advice. The opposing counsel was very difficult and Randy stuck with me until the end. I am more than satisfied. I would give Randy 10 stars if I could!

Excellent is an understatement!

I had to go to court to get my daughter for sole custody and I retained Randy for me. Between him and his assistant, they were amazing. They did everything I asked and they continually provided me with with updates about the case. I had to go to court once! I dealt with this a few years ago and I was... in court for almost a year, so to have this taken care of in such a short amount of time was amazing! I highly recommend Randy! He will make sure what you want you get!

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.

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.
