I met with several attorneys before I found I found Randy. As a male, I felt as though a lot of other lawyers judged and stereotyped me as a typical dead beat dad because I had fallen behind on my child support. However, Randy did not treat me with any preconceived judgements and listened to the details of the case. Randy took the time to talk to not only myself but my family as well. This took an enormous amount of stress off of my family as we had never been through anything like this. He was very available to talk or text, even to answer small questions to put my mind at ease. Every time I went to court I always felt confident knowing that Randy would take care of business. This enabled me to focus on my daughter instead of stressing out over court like I had been. My focus was primarily custody (although he did get my child support back to a fair amount) as my daughter’s mother had full custody due to a default judgement. Randy was able to win in court resulting in me gaining joint custody and a great visitation schedule. When talking to Randy, it is clear that he is a family man that really does care about making things right with your family. He is very confident and professional in court but also aggressive when appropriate. Retaining Randy was truly a turning point in my life’s d that is no exaggeration. Being a father is the most important part of my life and it had been taken away from me. Randy got it back. I will always be appreciative of Randy. -Andrew

Divorce is always an unpleasant event and my case was no exception, yet the guidance, professionalism and ethical strategy that Randy Margulis provided was essential in finding the best solutions for my children, my ex-wife and myself. As the process evolved, I encountered many obstacles and unexpected situations that made me frustrated, nervous and uncomfortable. Without exception Randy Margulis had the experience, intelligence and strategy to find the best possible result. I would go so far to say that he produced results that were far beyond my expectations. He put my children’s well being first and made sure that I was fully protected and legally positioned to be fairly and ethically treated both as a father and in relation with my ex-wife. If you're headed towards Divorce, head towards Randy Margulis!

Throughout my divorce and the post-divorce matters that followed, Randy provided me with excellent representation. Overall I’m very pleased to have him as my lawyer, along with his superb colleague Madison, who handled some things along the way. Randy did everything I requested and provided great legal advice. He’s very knowledgeable, responsive and effective. He always treated me with respect and conducted himself professionally inside and outside the courtroom. I found Randy to be patient at the right times and when necessary, assertive and aggressive. I would recommend you meet with him when searching for an attorney.

Randy came recommended from a friend who was happy with the results they got. I was glad I retained his law firm.Randy and his associates were very friendly and out going, they listened to me and told me what could and could not happen. I had been trying for years to get custody of my son and get him out of the situation he was in. I talked to Randy and was very comfortable with him.He listened to me and what my reasons were for going after custody of my son. He took a lot of notes concerning the matter. The result was AWESOME , I got custody of my son and would HIGHLY recommend him,to anybody that is looking for an attorney of his caliber.............HE gets results.........

How important is your case to you? Exactly...you have to retain Randy Margulis. When you meet him, you'll know. I have encountered lawyers (in the past) that would push my rights/needs to the side. This time around I did more research when choosing a lawyer. I am glad I did! Randy Margulis is THE only lawyer that I will ever TRUST to handle any of my cases. You will have the best representation! Randy will fight very hard for you and your child, or any other matter. I was extremely tired of dealing with crabby Judges and their annoying eye rolling, being walked on by finger pointing opposing counsel, and feeling 2 inches big without a voice. It is the worst feeling to feel defeated before the race starts. Randy was MY VOICE for my child, my strength, my power, and my advisor. My young child is unable to stick up for himself and he surely couldn't tell his parents/Judge what was best for him. I have learned a lot from this long god awful experience. Get the lawyer who will fight for your child's best interest. I could write a book pertaining to my incredible experience with Randy Margulis!! In my case, I was awarded sole custody! Randy is such a very well organized attorney who handles erratic situations in a calming matter. Things will occur that are out of your control and are entirely infuriating, and Randy will calmly bring your anxiety level down. Take note: All lawyers are busy. That is the nature of the job. In most instances, you will need to embark on something unique...patience. They do not forget about you so calm down. ~Only good things happen to those who wait. ~

I retained Randy for my divorce/child custody court case. All I can say is that the results of my case turned out better than I had ever imagined they would. He was always assertive, aggressive when he needed to be, and I always felt like he had my back. He was very dedicated to all my needs and never left any question or concern unanswered. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Domestic Relations Laws and I always felt confident with his advice. The opposing counsel was very difficult and Randy stuck with me until the end. I am more than satisfied. I would give Randy 10 stars if I could!

I had to go to court to get my daughter for sole custody and I retained Randy for me. Between him and his assistant, they were amazing. They did everything I asked and they continually provided me with with updates about the case. I had to go to court once! I dealt with this a few years ago and I was in court for almost a year, so to have this taken care of in such a short amount of time was amazing! I highly recommend Randy! He will make sure what you want you get!
