Horrible Lawyer- Unprofessional- Threating

I hired Zach Margules several years ago to help with contracts and later a vendor dispute. Despite paying him over $10,000, he never provided itemized billing or a clear explanation of his charges, and he failed to follow through on legal actions he told me he would pursue. At the time, he told me “n...ot to worry about a small remaining balance.” He claimed to be my friend and made me believe he was giving me a break since he fell short in defending me. Years later, he began demanding $1,700+ with no explanation and immediately threatened to “take me to court.” I received only one contract for over $10k. Since then, I have been subjected to repeated, harassing text messages from him. These often arrive on holidays or weekends and come in long chains of five to ten back-to-back texts, sometimes several paragraphs long, followed by strings of exclamation points or question marks if I don’t respond immediately. When I failed to reply within 48 hours (because I was at a funeral), he threatened court action instead of communicating professionally by phone or email, even though I repeatedly asked him to do so. I have made clear that I am paying monthly toward the balance as much as possible, yet the harassment continues. He also followed me on social media in a way that felt almost obsessive, and I ultimately had to block him on all outlets. His conduct has been aggressive, unprofessional, and at times made me feel unsafe. In my experience, Zach Margules failed to deliver on promised legal services, provided no billing transparency, and chose harassment over professionalism. I cannot recommend his services.

Excellent Attorney!

I recently hired Zach to assist me with a contract. Not only is he knowledgeable, intelligent, and highly competent when it comes to entertainment/sports/business/contract law, he was able to articulate everything in a very succinct and easy to understand way. I would recommend Zach to anyone who n...eeds a transactional attorney!

CEO

Zach is extremely talented and well rounded attorney! The nature of my business is very complex and as a result I need legal advice from time to time to deal with those complexities. This firm is extremely diligent in both Business and Contract law and they are also aggressive litigators. They offer ...tremendous support in each of those realms.

Zachary has been extremely professional and personable during my time working with him in setting up my new business. He is a wealth of information and was always timely and responsive. I greatly appreciate his services.

Amazing lawyer!

My wife and I own a sports agency. We were introduced to Zach through a close personal friend. He really impressed us with his knowledge of law. We hired him as our general counsel for the agency. Little did we know that we would have to use his services within a month of us hiring him. We had an a...ge/ identity dispute with a prospective client in the Dominican Republic. I tried to resolve the issue by myself but kept getting the runaround from the main MLB office. I let Zach know that I wasn't getting anywhere with the issue and let him take over. Within 48 hours he had the issue resolved and we were able to have the player eligible to sign with any big league team. In another instance we had an issue with a marketing company and one of our clients. I had Zach and his father Leon take care of the situation with their expertise in that type of law. They had a very aggressive approach while protecting the agency and myself. At the end of this particular situation I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend the Margules Law Firm.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I know Zach and his father/business partner, Leon, for nearly 25 years, and it is without question, that they are among the most hardworking and ethical attorneys in our business. I wish that there were an option to choose more than one of the above because he is more than just a fellow lawyer in the community. He is also a friend, family member, and colleague that I have worked alongside. I have referred him cases in Florida, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Between him and his team, I believe that they have the tools to represent any individual or business in their litigation capacity. That is why I recommend Zach and Leon, so highly."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Zachary D. Margules, Esq., is one of the best, brightest, and most caring attorneys I have ever met. He always treats his clients with the utmost professionalism and pays attention to every detail. He works quickly to resolve issues and is very knowledgable in the various aspects of the law. He is easy to work with and very responsive. When Zachary has a client or a case he gives that client/case the best opportunity to get the most desirable result possible. Zachary is a close colleague of mine and I have seen first hand the care and attention he gives his clients and their cases. As an attorney barred in the State of Florida and the State of New York, I would highly recommend Zachary D. Margules, Esq. to anyone in need of legal services!!"
