DUI

I was very happy with the plea that Larry got.the prosecutor to agree to. I highly recommend him for defense of DUI.

Auto accident/faulty airbags and belts

After 4 months at St Joes and 4 in rehab God's Grace brought me home. Larry helped my family and then me through a very difficult case where he took on a car company and a dealership to help win my case. He was gracious with my son, my mom and me but so willing to put in hard work on the case. He sti...ll offers me help as I struggle through therapies. A first class man and top notch attorney. You will not be disappointed with Larry. Thank you Mr Margolis for your continued support!!!

Great Attorney, even a better person!

I found myself in a sticky stituation when I voluntarily appeared for and I found myself getting a little twisted around in deposition. I hired Larry to assist me with some changes to my dep. which pretty much brought my worries to a conclusion. The person I was supporting in the case prevailed, a...nd all ended well. I found Larry personal and straight forward. I felt comfortabel knowing had things gone bad for me, he would have been there for me. He has a great since of humor, and can take it as well as he can dish it out. Do yourself a favor, if you need an attorney contact Larry Margolis.

Immigration Client

I applied On-Line to replace my PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD (I-90) on Jul 09, 2018. A week later I received an appointment to have my BIOMETRICS taken. I was given a one year dated decal that validated my PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD (I-90) for one year. After six months, I decided to seek consul from ...Lawrence Margolis, Esq. to explain to me why it was taking longer than normal. He relieved my stress by reassuring me that due to the high number of cases handled at this time, it might take longer and that I had nothing to worry about. But after ten months went by, I asked for further assistance. He referred me to a fellow Immigration Lawyer who explained further how to obtain information from the USCIS site. Fortunately my renewed PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD (I-90) arrived before the eleven month ended. I am thankful that he was able to help me through the stressful period. His Office staff, especially, Brooke Habay, were very attentive and courteous to my communications.

Optimal Outcome

Found myself in a tricky spot with the aggressive, "we-have-nothing-better-to-do" University of Michigan Police who threatened me with a felony charge over a minor incident. Larry helped me construct my best possible defense, prevented the felony charge from ever being filed, and on top of that worke...d out a deal with the prosecutor to eliminate the misdemeanor conviction from my public record upon completing probation. On a personal level, he made me feel calm and like the situation was under control, even when I was panicking about it. Very quick to answer my questions. His conduct in the courtroom was incredible -- he maintains a strong, friendly rapport with the prosecutors that no doubt played into my favorable outcome, but while speaking in front of the judge he is a consummate professional. As a bonus, the man is an extremely sharp dresser. His fee was worth every penny with my future on the line. If you ever find yourself having a conversation with the cops in Washtenaw County that you don't want to be having, call Larry.
