Professional, Experienced, Aggressive

George is a very experienced and professional attorney. His passion for his work is apparent in the way he aggressively fights for his clients. At no time did I doubt him or have a lack of confidence in his representation. He took the time to explain things thoroughly in consultations and educate me ...on different parts of the law. When my court date came he arrived on time and prepared to fight for me. His tenacity resulted in an even better outcome than what I had been preparing for. I will never walk into another court room without his representation. I have already recommended him to multiple people and I will continue to do so.

Thas My Dawg

I was referred to Mr. Margetas through a friend, who was a previous client of his. He made me feel as if he was genuinely concerned about my welfare regarding my case and wanted me to get the best results possible. He gave me detailed personal and legal advice that gave me clarity during my confusion.... Mr. Margetas even gave me a payment plan option that fit within my budget. I have recommended him as a reliable attorney since then and would definitely hire him for any future legal dilemmas, which hopefully I won’t need to!!

Avvo Rating

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.
