Arthur S Margulis

I hired Arthur Margulis because the state brought charges against me. I have to say I was not totally innocent but the corruption by St Louis County police investigators to manufacture evidence and willingness to lie, as well as assualt me, damaged their own case. Mr Margulis did an excellent job dem...onstrating to the jury STLCPD duplicity. Acquittal is one of greatest words in English, & I have stayed out of trouble since. The financial burden of the trial and the personal stress on me & my family are something I would not wish on anyone. I suspect the abuse by STLCPD is seldom challenged in court, or by the press.

Hire Mr. Margolis and his son William to defend me on Federal Bank Fraud indictment. Although he promised to fully defend me. After he was paid full retainer of $150,000 ( $50,000 of it if the case went to trial ) he told me I had to accept a plea deal and he refused to refund the "for trial portion".... He failed to provide any defense and did not object to anything at sentencing. nor did he offer any substantive evidence or argument on my behalf. Only upon my insistence, he submitted an objection to pre-sentence report inaccuracies and violations of sentencing guidelines. He subsequently withdrew the objections, " because the it made the US Attorney upset". Due to this lack of adequate representation my sentencing and restitution were grossly inflated.
