Civil Case

Mr. Margolin was given the task of defending me on a civil matter. He was unprepared throughout all of court appearance and had no strategy in hand for the Judge. Mr. Margolin and his partner covering my case were never on the same page as to what and how to present the case. Extremely weak in de...fending me against the other party. His partner misrepresented himself, me and the fact in front of the judge because they had not prepared at least one argument to present. The lack of experience hit my case with lax jury instructions and their combined non strategy. The opposing attorney now is collecting their court cost of $60K from me. Totally inadequate defense. Not serious about details and often mocking the opposing council for use of the technology. I would spend more time finding better attorney who is experienced and won’t use you as an experiment so they can gain some expertise at your cost. He has cost me a great deal emotional stress and financial ruins. I will be filing an official complaint with the CA bar

I sorry you feel that way. If my memory serves me correctly I met you some 10 years ago at the courthouse. You were representing yourself and were in desperate need of an attorney as no others would take your matter. My firm agreed to help you. Despite the other side refusing to pay you, we were able to negotiate a reasonable settlement in your favor for what we believed to be a fair value for your case. However, you refused as you had unrealistic views on what your case was worth. Despite your refusal, we continued to represent you up until and through trial. While it was not the result you hoped for, you sent my boss a thank you card for the tremendous effort we put in for you. Again, I'm sorry you feel this way. Michael Margolin, Esq.
