I was wrongfully stopped for a traffic issue which turned into them illegally searching my vehicle and booking me a for a pistol. No felonies no record or anything. They tried to get me in four felonies which dropped down to 1. Allison made sure to press the issue on my behalf that it was an illegal search. She stayed consistent with me. And made every court date. They eventually dropped the case. I would recommend Allison to anyone. She’s tough, eager, and knows what she’s doin. I felt very comfortable she pulled up on me numerous of times in person to discuss my case. I love her and I can’t say enough. Thank you Allison.

Allison and Raza managed to turn around a case that others had told me was hopeless. I can’t thank them enough.

I hired Allison to help me with a case that happened a long time ago. Lawyers are supposed to know the law better than the average person, but Allison failed to help me at the end of the day. She tried charging me more money, yet I didn’t get anything resolved. I don’t recommend this lawyer whatsoever....

Allison was able to help me with an outstanding warrant of 2 years of which I had no idea I had against me until I found out through a background check done on me. I spoke to other attorneys before and not only were they more expensive but they said it could take weeks, even months to get this resolved. Allison and her partner were able to do it on the first day they went to the court house for me! I am extremely happy I was able to find such good attorneys who keep their word and work hard for their clients. If you need legal advice or representation, look no further.

It's difficult to have a loved one locked up. It disrupts everyones lives around them. I've recently had a loved one arrested and let me tell you, it's a scary process. Everyone wants your money first! After speaking to several attorneys I was able to get ahold of Ms. Margolin. She was the confidence I needed. She not only made me and my loved ones situation feel human, she truly cares. There is no stronger, advocate than Ms. Margolin and her team! If you find yourself or a family member in trouble, don't screw around! Call Margolin's office as soon as possible.

If there is one thing Allison Margolin can do, its pulling miracles to get her clients the best possible outcome. I came to her with a really bad felony situation & facing serious time. Allison along with her partner Raza constantly kept me updated, worked tirelessly on my case, and GOT IT DISMISSED! They are the FairyGod parents of Criminal Defense! If there is one thing Margolin & Lawrence can do, its GETTING THE JOB DONE.

Hiring Allison as our son's attorney was the best thing that we could have done for him. Our son’s ex-girlfriend also the mother of his son accused our son of domestic violence. She had been trying everything she could to have his custody of their son taken away. Through Allison's meticulous research and exceptional attorney skills Allison was able to get the case dismissed with prejudice. Allison is well educated, smart, professional, knowledgeable of the law, quick on her feet and well spoken. She took a lot of time to understand our case and the history behind it. She always answered our phone calls and took the time needed to answer our questions. Allison really does her homework. Watching her in court was a thing of beauty.

I had the best experience with Allison at Margolin & Lawrence. Allison and her team where able to reduce my DUI charge to an exhibition of speed. Any one who's been through a DUI, knows that's really as good as it gets. Thank you Allison.

Alison Margolin from Margolin & Lawrence was great to work with. She is highly educated, has a solid understanding of the law and are aggressive to help you get the best outcome possible. Finding an attorney is really stressful because you are trusting them with your life. She is worth every penny that you pay. Alison and her team are very committed to their clients, responsive, and will help you through the process and take care of everything so that you can focus on moving on with your life. For my case, she worked hard to find every opportunity for dismissal, to minimize penalty and to help me get it expunged. The entire process took two and a half years and she was with me each step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about Alison, you absolutely are making a good choice if you choose her firm.

I would first like to thank Allison and Raza, and the rest of the team at Margolin & Lawrence, their dedication to there clients and knowledge of the law are second to none. I was charged with cultivation of marijuana, and possession for sale, but I operate a legal collective under current California state law so I believed I was truly innocent, and so did Allison and Raza. I originally hired a lawyer who is well known in the industry, but later found out he is not a good trial lawyer, so I hired Allison and Raza to consult on my case and take over if needed, which I am so glad I made that decision. The original attorneys team did a very good job of writing the preliminary hearing brief, but they just don't get good deals because they almost never go to trial, so I told Allison I wanted her to handle the preliminary hearing. During the preliminary hearing all of my collective members showed up to testify on my behalf, so the D.A. was reluctant to want to continue and offered my first attorney a deal, which was a postponement of sentence, I would have to plea to a misdemeanor and a felony, and if I didn't get into any trouble over the next year, they would drop the felony and only accept the misdemeanor. I still didn't think that was a good deal, so I refused. Then in comes Allison Margolin, like the superhero she is, and said I will get you a better deal, and asked what I wanted. I told her I want to be allowed to operate my current collective and I would only take a misdemeanor. So she went head to head with the D.A. and the cop, and got them to give me everything I wanted. They dropped count 1 cultivation, and dropped count 2 possession for sale, and added a 3rd count for possession of a controlled substance which is a misdemeanor. No jail, no community service, no drug classes and I was allowed to operate my current collective of 8 members, and grow 50 marijuana plants, which is the exact same amount I had before I was arrested. So I accepted and I am so thankful that I can now get on with my life, and continue to grow quality organic medicine for my collective, which is now approved by a judge. Thank you Allison, you are the best....

Allison & Raza are one of few of the best defense lawyers out there! You can not go wrong with her! I interviewed several lawyers out there before I settled out on Allison, and boy I am so glad I did. This was the first charge which I have ever faced in my entire life, and was an extremely hard situation for me to get through. Allison was always available to answer any of my questions, which I can't emphasize enough how critical it is to understand the situation you are in, options you have, and understand your defense strategy. Allison and Raza worked really hard, and found creative ways to get my case dismissed, and in the end they pushed really hard to get the best outcome for my case, getting DISMISSED with community service!

I was looking at a strike and 14 years in prison and Allison Margolin worked hard I my case and got me only a few months in jail and probation. She honestly saved my life due to her hard work and dedication. I couldn't of made a better decision and I hired her after firing a lawyer because he couldn't get a better offer then five years.
