Outstanding Attorney

I hired Bill Margolin on two separate occasions and both times he got the job done and took care of me. The first time, I was facing not only a felony conviction but also possible jail time. Bill worked endlessly to make sure that I got the best possible outcome and consulted with me through every st...ep. I really wanted to write about my great experience with Bill as my attorney because he helped me through the hardest time of my life.

Would highly recommend

I've had Attny. Margolin advise me on several legal matters. I've been impressed and satisfied with his expertise and service and his legal advise was worth it's weight in gold. I would highly recommend!

Get a Second Opinion

I was a client of his about 2 years ago. I had a couple of DUI's on my record and needed a formal SOS hearing. He did almost nothing to prepare me for the hearing. His theory is "everyone loses on their first try". Not only did this set me back another year, I wasted about 3 grand. My recommenda...tion is to go to a lawyer who knows they can get your license back on the first try...get that second opinion. Your future depends on it.

Down to earth Attorney

I am an out of state client. Atty Margolin assisted me in squashing DUI and related MVD charges. His knowledge saved me thousands of dollars in fees, increased insurance costs and time going to mandatory classes. He is a go to, reasonably priced, down to earth kind of guy. Thanks Atty. Margolin. ...Matt-Wethersfield, CT

highly qualified and effective

I had a pending Felony DUI and Revoked License. Not only did Bill take care of those in a extremely outstanding manner but less than 1 year later, he got me a permit to drive after a Sec. of State hearing. I have referred no less than 3 other friends/family members to Bill for legal representation in... criminal cases and without exception they all highly recommend Bill's handling of their cases.
