Custody Case Representation

If you need an attorney that is attentive to your case and supports your process, Mr. Margetas is NOT the attorney you want to represent you. He does not listen to you and continually cuts you off mid-conversation and over talks when trying to explain anything to him. He lost original documents pro...vided to him for the case, he does not return phone calls or emails. I hired Mr. Margetas to represent my son during his custody case for over $3,000 and he spent less than 3 hours total representing my son. I drafted the custody agreement for him, I coordinated with the mother and her legal counsel, and mother's legal counsel filed the agreement with the court. We received no advice or representation from Mr. Margetas. He did not at any time reach out and schedule any appointments, it all had to be initiated by myself or my son. And without Mr. Margetas returning phone or email, all meetings were rushed at the last hour before any hearings. Mr. Margetas was not even capable of negotiations during the attorney-client pre-trial meeting, I had to do that as well in order to achieve resolution. I could have saved myself a lot of money and assisted my son acting on his own. Mr. Margetas took the money and did nothing. We now have another hearing for the custody and Mr. Margetas has not responded to any email or phone calls from the mother's attorney or myself. Save yourself additional stress and don't waste your time or money on this attorney, find other representation.
