Amazing divorce attorney

My divorce was very complicated and high conflict -- with a protracted legal battle over three years. Elyse was an amazing advocate for me and my children. She is very ethical and passionate about her clients -- and I never felt she was dragging things out to make more money. She has a lot of respe...ct from the judges and she's a very skillful speaker in court. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to.

Free at last

Elyse Margolin was recommended to me by an attorney who worked for the owner/head of another Beverly Hills firm. He was unable to settle my divorce case (after almost 3 years and more money than I care to admit to spending) and actually went behind his boss's back and recommended that I hire Elyse Ma...rgolin. He said she was tough, smart and that she and her team would be my best bet to settle my case. He was right. It took another year but Elyse and Tess Cozine worked tirelessly to get me out of a very dysfunctional marriage and were even willing to work with me so that I could afford them (I'm not wealthy, my ex is). My ex had no less than 6 attorneys during the process and had enough family wealth to continue to battle for as long as she wanted. However...Elyse and Tess were creative and fought ruthlessly on my behalf to settle this crazy case and ensure that I could begin to rebuild my life. A happy marriage and children is something that I wanted very badly and it wasn't going to happen for me until my divorce was settled. They settled it. I picked up the pieces, met the love of my life and started a family. For that, I am deeply grateful for Elyse and Tess and always will be.

Brilliant, Knowledgeable, Passionate

Elyse Margolin was recommended to me by an extremely successful lawyer working in a different practice area. She is brilliant, passionate, determined, loving, individual with a sharp memory and understanding of the law. The team that surrounds her, including Tess Cozine create a powerful synergistic ...effect who become a force to be reckoned with for any level of divorce scenario. Mine is a David vs Goliath situation. I am not the one with money. It has been stolen from me. Even knowing that, Elise and her team have worked tirelessly to insure an injustice is righted and I am made whole. They have cared for and protected me every step of the way. I trust them implicitly and would highly recommend their services.

ELYSE SAVED MY LIFE!!!!

I was referred to Elyse by an attorney friend of mine. I wanted to file for a divorce but wanted an attorney who cared about me and my boys and our future. I was fighting the fight of my life and for the sake of my boys and I wanted to make sure that I hired the right attorney to represent me. Th...e moment I met Elyse I knew she was the attorney for me. I was going through a very traumatic divorce from my ex-husband of 24 years and my life was flipped upside down from one day to the next. I was not only going through the most difficult time in my life but I had to go through a difficult divorce. Elyse was amazing and was there for me as my attorney and as a friend. I was in a bad place emotionally and I was a complete wreck. I couldn’t think straight and I was constantly calling her, the staff, and her associates and they were always so helpful and calmed my nerves and gave me peace of mind. When I wanted to settle for less she was tough and asked me to trust her and do as she says because she was not satisfied with the settlement that my ex-husband was proposing. We were able to settle and I am beyond happy and grateful with my results and for the representation that I received from Elyse. I received the settlement that I only wished that I could have but I also received full custody of my boys. She cares about her clients and their children and will fight hard for you. She will not give up even if you want throw in the towel and settle for less. I highly recommend Elyse and her firm.
