Posted by Edna Stone on behalf of Forrest Stone | April 18, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

Ms. Margolius is the best disability lawyer in Cleveland because she cares.

My son and I secured the legal representation of Marcia Margolius after his disability claim was denied twice by the Social Security Administration. My son was born with an incurable bleeding disorder , he is the survivor of three brain surgeries that caused him to develop epilepsy from all the tr...auma and invasion to his brain. I was totally flabbergasted to learn my son's disability claim was denied a few times. I have worked for The Social Security Administration for more than 18 years and I knew my son met all the eligibility requirements. I have heard of Ms. Marcia Margolius representing social security claimants since my first years at SSA. I heard claimants talking about how Ms. Margolius have always gone the extra mile for them and won their appeals. I also heard Ms. Margolius is very caring and compassionate and has an extensive knowledge of Social Security law . I have also had the chance to learn Marcia Margolius provided the best representation in front of the Social Security Administration to individuals in Ohio from the homeless. Little did I know when I was hired to work for SSA that my son was going to be in need to hire Ms. Margolius to represent him. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Ms. Margolius and his staff. They always kept us informed about the status of his appeal and secured all medical records from all doctors and hospitals that have treated my son. My son claim was finally approved. Thank you so very much Ms. Margolius for all the work you are doing on behalf of my son and all disabled individuals that have been denied Social Security Disability benefits.

Exceptional!!!

I’ve worked all my life and when I became disabled I was lost. When I first heard about Margolius, Margolius & Associates, I heard only good things about them. Once I began working with them, I became an advocate. Marcia W. Margolius and her team was more than people trying to get disability benefits... for me, they became my family as if fighting for their own loved one who has suffered for too long. Their professional and highly skilled attorneys and staff stood by my side and represented me as if they seen my struggle through my own eyes. They defended me after several case denials with other firms but Margolius, Margolius & Associates never gave up! Their continuous feedback and personal support, throughout my case, gave me the relief of trying to do it on my own and Marcia Margolius got the benefits that I desperately needed. These statements may seem ‘over the top’ but it is completely true. Margolius, Margolius & Associates should be your first line of defense when looking for “The Right” attorney for your Social Security /Disability case. Marcia W. Margolius is highly educated, most influential among her peers, dedicated, committed, hard working and cares for her clients as real people with real life changing concerns. She is a woman of integrity and gets the job done. Hey, she sounds like she could be a great candidate for the first female President! #MarciaWMargoliusForPresident2020; I love the sound of that!

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.
