About

I am personally disturbed to see consumers being taken advantage of by deep pocket corporations. It occurs far too frequently. For that reason, I aggressively work to defend consumers who are being mistreated by some of the largest, most powerful, and best-funded corporations in the world.  I am personally involved in every case and treats each one as if it were my own.I am a former judge, and so have gained a unique and valuable perspective in the view from the Bench, which provides a greatly expanded understanding of how to approach issues and be persuasive to the court.I am called upon to help to train other attorneys and law professors, and was privileged to be invited to Washington, DC to testify before the U.S. Congress Judiciary Committee subcommittee regarding the foreclosure situation.I am one of a very small group of attorneys in the U.S. who is deeply versed in mortgage and foreclousre law and who truly understands the mortgage servicing industry.  Because the mortgage servicer is the real player where your loan is concerned, it is criticial to understand how they think and what we can do to make them behave more reasonably. Because of my work on behalf of Florida's borrowers and consumers, I was honored to be awarded Consumer Protection Attorney of the Year by the Consumer Protection Law Committee of the Florida Bar. I have been widely quoted by national and local media concerning mortgage foreclosure and other consumer financial issues (Wall Street Journal, Washinton Post, National Mortgage News, Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post).There are many attorneys currently holding themselves out as foreclosure defense attorneys, but sadly, few of them really know what I know. Because of my particular skill set, I have saved many hundreds of homes and achieved soft landings for Florida borrwers.EXPERIENCE:BAR ADMISSIONS:                   Pennsylvania BarAmerican Academy of Financial Management (AAFM) Certifications:Member - National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA)Former Vice Chair and Member - Florida Bar Consumer Protection Law CommitteeDEGREES:

There is no way I can say enough about this woman. The minute you meet her you understand that you are in the presence of an expert. There is truly nothing she does not know about mortgage problems, and her knowledge is obviously from her experience and not from repeating what others say. The way she analyzes the problem is amazing - she knows exactly what to ask, and found defenses and suggested strategies we never dreamed existed. When we set out to find an attorney to help us, we didn't know where to start. We spoke to several attorneys and they sounded ok, but nothing special. There are so many attorneys out there who say they do this work, but the minute we spoke to Margery Golant, we knew she was different - she really DOES know everything there is to know about these problems. We feel so much safer knowing she is on our side ! She stands up to the mortgage company and fights for us. We have recently seen her on TV, when she was invited to testify in front of Congress, and see and hear other attorneys coming to her for advice. We are so happy we were lucky enough to find her !

We spent months trying to understand the mortgage mess, were getting more confused by the day, hearing and reading conflicting things, being jerked around by our mortgage company. Mrs. Golant listened to every word we said, then explained everything. When she was done, it all made sense. Unbelievable ! We were so glad to finally understand ! It is impossible to make good decisions when we didn't really understand why things were happening and what we can do about it. She really does know what is happening and what to do about it !!

She represented me with expertise and skill. I am thoroughly satisfied with her and my outcome was far better than I ever expected. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Golant is a truly dedicated consumer advocate. She really cares about her clients cases, has a deep knowledge of how to use the law to help her clients, and uses it forcefully to protect them against the deep pocket corporations. She understands corporations from the inside, which gives her a tremendous edge. She has helped me greatly, and I recommend her unhesitatingly.

Before I hired Attorney Golant, I spoke to a number of attorneys, none of whom gave me a clear picture of my situation or of a coherent strategy to help me. When I sat down with Attorney Golant, she asked me dozens of questions in order to completely understand all the twists and turns. Then she began explaining in detail what she thought could be done and how it could be done in a way none of the other attorneys did. It was obvious she understands the law and the best strategies to help me. I am so glad and relieved she was willing to take my case.

Margery's firm received a panicked call today from a very confused person . Not only was her staff amazingly kind and professional; I was immediately transferred to an associate that not only listened closely but also promised to review the situation ASAP. My confusion battle has gone on for over 5 years; This phone call not only calmed me but also given me more insight and hope. My situation is pending review but do yourself a favor ...if you have a question, concern, or just need advice call this firm ASAP to seek council. They make sense.... Wish I had from the get go as I would have saved many years, bad advice and sleepless nights . Good luck with yours!!

I would like to thank Margery for contacting me the same day I had my question and following up the next day as well, she was genuinely concerned about my situation and gave me amazing advise that no other lawyer was able to, she is a very sweet and empathetic professional, if Avvo had an 11 point rating she would get 11+.

I can't begin to express how highly I regard this amazing attorney and person and true gratitude to Margery Golant and her office and assistant. She is far and above, the most compassionate, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and competent attorney I have ever spoken to and had the pleasure and luck of finding. The mere thought of pleasure and attorney often don't coincide in the same sentence-- by mere nature of the circumstance needing an attorney-- but Margery is a rare breed!! I have had my share of litigation under the most stressful circumstances recently,and I had given up all hope of finding a TRULY knowledgeable and COMPASSIONATE attorney. I cannot emphasize enough-- that this is one of the GREAT attorney's as well as human being. You truly get the sense that she does care and she absolutely knows her field inside & out. Definitely a cut (or 5) above the rest! I hope I never need it again-- but would not even think of anyone else, if I needed the best of the best!!!! Thank you so very much Margery!!

Margery Ellen Golant is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind. I have never met a lawyer this good...and believe me I have had to deal with a great deal of lawyers throughout my life. I think that what I like the most about her is her compassionate nature and willingness to give back to the community by providing advice to those who have no money to pay for a lawyer of her competence. God bless her and all of those who she helps and represents.
