Jason Robert Margulies

Jason is a wonderful attorney..He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with---great people skills! . During the course that he came to know me & my case, I felt confident that he had a thorough understanding of my case & that my best interests were his priority. He guided me through all of... the required stages involving a lawsuit(This was all new to me), and it went smoothly & rather quickly. It was obvious that his honesty & expertise helped to settle my case to my satisfaction.

A fantastic attorney on cruise ship personal injury matters!

Jason Margulies represented my husband and I when my husband was tragically injured on a cruise ship. He was extremely professional, caring an very prepared. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the litigation and, although the process of litigation was sometimes very scary, Jason took extra ti...me and care to explain things and comfort me. Through the process I had come to learn that my feelings about Jason were shared by many of his other clients and other lawyers who were familiar with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has an injury claim against a cruise ship.

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.
