A Unique Combination Of Practice Areas

1. Catastrophic plaintiff's personal injury;

Early in his career, Attorney Margolin developed a special education and disability rights practice.

Over time, the individual rights practice evolved, and Attorney Margolin began representing the non-profit corporations that ran programs for people with a variety of disabilities. That portion of his practice continues today.

In the early '80s, Attorney Margolin began receiving requests to represent people seriously hurt in accidents or by medical malpractice or. Having worked for nearly a decade with the doctors, therapists and rehabilitation professionals who help people cope with serious disabilities, conveying the loss suffered by personal injury plaintiffs was a natural fit. Attorney Margolin's first medical malpractice case resulted in a jury verdict on behalf of his client. Other successful results followed, and Attorney Margolin integrated personal injury representation on behalf of injured plaintiffs, into his law practice.
