Elyse Peck Margolin

Elyse Margolin represented me in a complex and emotionally intense DVRO and custody case in Santa Monica Family Court. The case stretched over 7 months and involved five hearings. Elyse’s legal skill, organization, and dedication stood out from the beginning. She understood the nuances of my situa...tion, communicated clearly at every stage, and worked tirelessly—often after hours and on holidays. Her legal assistant Nicole was also a vital part of the process, and together, they gave me steady, compassionate support while building a strong case. Elyse not only defended me with precision, but her efforts also led to a successful outcome in both the DVRO and custody aspects of the case. Her experience and team-based approach made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better legal advocate, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Elyse Margolin helped my daughter in a custody case for my granddaughter. After four years, two attorneys and COVID. Elyse was able to have the original judgement corrected and strengthen. Giving my daughter and granddaughter a feeling of security and stability. I highly recommend this law firm i...n any family

Elyse has been my lawyer for 4 or so years. She has supported and navigated me through a nasty, complicated divorce and custody battle. She was a blessing to find. She has been very effective and achieved what I wanted. She is so kind and is always available to me!! This has been the hardest fight... of my life and she has really been there for me to ease the pain. She explains everything and is very proactive. Her team is very nice and has welcomed me in and handled my case very well. They look out for me like family and have helped me out so much not only legally , but mentally and emotionally. They are intelligent and will fight for you!

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.
