About Randy S. Margulis

A dedicated Buffalo family law attorney

For almost 20 years, I have devoted myself to solving the problems that affect families throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area and Western New York. As a family law attorney, I make it my goal to create a partnership of trust with my clients. People put their trust in me to handle cases that can potentially have a long-lasting impact on not only their lives, but the lives of their family as well. I reward their trust by providing them with the personal attention they need and the results they deserve.

Family law cases often require clients to discuss most personal and sensitive issues. I strive to actively, openly and honestly communicate with my clients so they feel comfortable discussing these issues, knowing that I will maintain confidentiality and protect their rights. I make myself available for my clients at all times. Just as problems in the home can happen at any moment, you need an attorney who can and will be there for you when you need it the most. No matter if it is the weekend, at night or an emergency situation, I can be there to provide advice and counsel you through any problems that may arise.

I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and fight for your rights. If you need a dedicated family law attorney to handle your case, you need Randy Margulis.

Hired Attorney Randy S. Margulis

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 your headed towards Divorce, head towards Randy Margulis!

Randy Margulis is knowledgable of Domestic Law, dedicated, responsive, personable, aggressive and effective. I came to him on a friend's recommendation as well as Randy's reputation, and during the initial consultation I liked his approach and track record. Ultimately I was satisfied with his services and the outcome of my case.

Found Mr. Margulis to be a very organized and professional individual to work with. He is well-respected by his peers and is spoken of highly, I believe this helped with my divorce and made things go smoothly. I would highly recommend his services if you want a divorce lawyer that will listen to your needs and provide you professional results.

Randy helped me through a painful divorce. I felt protected and will be forever grateful that he was my lawyer. He is well respected in the courts and every time I walked away I was happy that he was on my side. Divorce is a terrible thing to go through but with Randy representing me the anxiety and pain was less, truly it was. He is easy to talk to, never makes you feel like he is to busy for you. He will fight a good fight for you with his knowledge and skills and you will feel some relief!

Randy was great. He got the job done quickly and without nonsense. He told me what to expect ahead of time, and he was right on.

Does not care about you or your family all he cares about is money you might as well light $10,000 on fire and go get a friend of the person you’re going to court against to represent you never calls you never returns calls and will withhold important information about your case just to drag it out so he can charge you more money all he cares about is getting paid and he is shameless about the lack of communication the only time you will hear from him is if you say something bad about him so he could defend himself

As bad a lawyer I could have imagined. Pretends to represent you long enough to take your money, and then completely drops the ball. I am now paying thousands of dollars to another attorney who has to undo the damage Mr Margulis' incompetence caused to my case. Did not educate me properly on my rights, did not advocate for me properly. The outcome for myself and my small kids would have been tragic had I continued using him as counsel.

Horrendously incompetent. Cost me a year of child support. Was ill-prepared and ineffective. Did not return calls. Would text that he would call and then did not. STAY AWAY!!
