Excellent

I met with several attorneys before I found I found Randy. As a male, I felt as though a lot of other lawyers judged and stereotyped me as a typical dead beat dad because I had fallen behind on my child support. However, Randy did not treat me with any preconceived judgements and listened to the deta...ils of the case. Randy took the time to talk to not only myself but my family as well. This took an enormous amount of stress off of my family as we had never been through anything like this. He was very available to talk or text, even to answer small questions to put my mind at ease. Every time I went to court I always felt confident knowing that Randy would take care of business. This enabled me to focus on my daughter instead of stressing out over court like I had been. My focus was primarily custody (although he did get my child support back to a fair amount) as my daughter’s mother had full custody due to a default judgement. Randy was able to win in court resulting in me gaining joint custody and a great visitation schedule. When talking to Randy, it is clear that he is a family man that really does care about making things right with your family. He is very confident and professional in court but also aggressive when appropriate. Retaining Randy was truly a turning point in my life’s d that is no exaggeration. Being a father is the most important part of my life and it had been taken away from me. Randy got it back. I will always be appreciative of Randy. -Andrew

OUTSTANDING

Throughout my divorce and the post-divorce matters that followed, Randy provided me with excellent representation. Overall I’m very pleased to have him as my lawyer, along with his superb colleague Madison, who handled some things along the way. Randy did everything I requested and provided great l...egal advice. He’s very knowledgeable, responsive and effective. He always treated me with respect and conducted himself professionally inside and outside the courtroom. I found Randy to be patient at the right times and when necessary, assertive and aggressive. I would recommend you meet with him when searching for an attorney.

Randy Hit A Home Run

Randy went to bat for me and delivered a home run. I went through a tough divorce and custody battle, and had a lot on the line. Randy was tough and aggressive, but in an effective way. He went after everything I wanted, and we settled the case after a hard fought process. I believe that due to R...andy's great representation, I got the results I wanted and without a trial. I can now move on with my life. I would highly recommend Randy to anyone going through a divorce or custody case. I would describe him as aggressive and very knowledgable.

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!
