Carolyn Sue Margolies

My friend and I were recently in a car wreck wherein my handicapped equipped van was destroyed, my wheelchair was crushed and glass was strewed everywhere. I suffered bruises and contusions and my friend, broken ribs. We were hit by an underinsured, drunk motorist. Ms. Margolies negotiated the hospital bills, therapy and replacement value on my wheelchair. To my great surprise, I was awarded compensation to replace my chair and additional compensation for pain and suffering - well above my expectations. Ms. Margolies is a smart, tenacious and dedicated lawyer who I would recommend HIGHLY.

My partner and I have been in a committed Gay relationship for over 39 years. We were actively involved in the LGBTQ Rights movement while living in Miami Florida. Upon moving to Tarpon Springs Florida we were subjected to anti-Gay discrimination in an over 55 condominium community culminating with an order for us to remove our Rainbow Flag. We had no idea where to turn for help. A friend of ours referred us to Ms. Margolies. What a Godsend she happened to be. Her kind concern and expertise lead us into agreeing to a compromise when it seemed there was no hope as we wren't protected by the existing Florida State Statues. We were truly blessed and thankful for all she did for us.

She handled the end of life legal matters for my mother. My family and I are grateful and pleased with the services provided.

I was charged with 2 felonies and was facing 4-10 years. My situation was made worse by my prior record from years ago. I could say wrong time wrong place but I knew I was in trouble. My sister told me about Carolyn and took me to meet her. I was skeptical and scared but from the first meeting I knew she was going to fight hard for me and she did. Carolyn was able to get me only 18 months probation-no house arrest-no jail time! Carolyn’s legal knowledge and her genuine caring for me gave me my life back. If you need help please reach out and talk with her.

Carolyn saved my life! Saved from the greatest nightmare in my life. I was given a date rape drug in a bar and proceeded to go psychotic and memory lost for 12 hours where a situation occurred. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people. Under Florida law one is responsible for one's actions at all time in all mental states only one of a few US states that will prosecute like this. We know who did it but can't prove it - there was no witnesses or video tape of being drugged. There was hostile witness of the situation There was no blood test performed by the officer and hospital I was brought to. I was caught in a major catch 22 where jail was on the table. My bond was set at $150,000. I would have lost a trial because of no evidence that could be proved. My life was going to be destroyed with 2 felonies and 4 years in jail. I would never work in my occupation again even with 30 years experience. Carolyn was relentless. She argued up several jurisdictional layers to high level persons. She developed a dozen strategies about my character, occupation, psychological, medical, financial, family, parents medical, etc. My life was devastated my with terror, anxiety, depression and high blood pressure. I was unable to work for sixteen months. After sixteen months and six court dates I walked out a free person with only community service owed. Carolyn saved my life. She also went far above the call of duty to help me personally and spiritually through this ordeal. She is a Saint. There is not a more talented and compassionate person I could ever have have hoped to place my life in her hands with. Carolyn is truly gifted and blessed. Thank you God for letting me find her.

my case was very difficult, I got my 7th DUI with leaving the scene of an accident. Carolyn worked her magic and got my DUI dismissed. I highly recommend her, shes the best ever!!!

I was taking a trip and needed my Will and Power of Attorney done asap. Carolyn came to my home on a Sunday and we got the whole thing done. She didn't charge extra - although I would have gladly paid it to have it done so quickly. Had anything happened, my estate would have gone to my siblings which was not my intent! I was able to travel with peace of mind.

As former Tampa P.D. and a retired Deputy for Hillsborogh County, I've seen a lot of lawyers in action. Carolyn represented me in a complex contract litigation and saved my contracting business.

I asked Carolyn for help in resolving a civil dispute involving a large company and unresponsive customer services reps. With patience, diligence and charm, things were completely replaced with new pieces and at no cost to me. Thank you ever so much for your repeated follow-up and persistence. Carolyn doesn't stop working on your case until there are favorable results for her clients. You will not be disappointed with your decision to enlist her help in any complex problem, civil or criminal in nature.

If you're in Pinellas or Pasco and need an attorney you should hire Carolyn Margolies. She is a very well-rounded, experienced attorney who isn't afraid to go to trial. All-around great experience from start to finish. Carolyn is very professional and genuinely cares about her clients. I strongly recommend!
