The Law Offices of Anita J. Margolis

Anita is awesome. She is professional and I would definitely recommend this attorney.

Awesome lawyer!!! Anita always got what needed to be done quickly and efficiently. I unfortunately currently have a different lawyer because I moved to TX but I still use Anita more often than my current one. If you want to win I would very much recommend using her.

I choose Anita J. Margolis as my attorney in a difficult custody battle after my prior attorney, a former San Diego District attorney, told me that the judge was too difficult and unreasonable and based on her behavior, just didn’t like him. I felt I didn’t have much hope of success if I were to continue with my prior attorney. Luckily, I found Anita and she was able to restore my faith in attorneys again.
When I first hired Anita my visitations were restricted because of a false accusation from my son’s mother. Within two weeks of hiring her she was able to regain my original visitation plan ordered by the court. My son’s mother then attempted to reduce my time by filling an RFO proposing my parenting time be severely limited. Anita quickly gave me my options and helped me decide on how to proceed. In the end, despite aggressive and acrimonious contestation from opposing counsel, I ended up receiving more than mom would ever allow me to have. I also gained vacation time with my son, virtual calls, extended holiday time, optional visitation time and she was able to reduce the amount of my child support.
Anita and her paralegal Geneen provided excellent service to me during what was a very difficult time. Anita dealt very effectively with aggressive opposing counsel and ensured that a fair agreement was reached. Her knowledge of family law is extensive. She even instructed the judge and the opposing counsel on case law regarding child support. She works as a substitute judge at times. Not only does she know her craft, but her insight and understanding is invaluable. Her work ethic I found to be of the highest standard, she worked tirelessly on my behalf and took the time to know my case history and details better than I did. She really cares about her clients and about justice. She is very loyal to her clients. She will tell you the truth about your case and will not lead you on or give you false hopes. If you want a smart, ethical lawyer who is kind but tough, you can’t do better.

This lawyer was able to satisfy the very high standards & expectations of another attorney for responsiveness, knowledge of the law & willingness to litigate if necessary. Anita is professional, thoroughly knowledgable in her areas of expertise & tenacious on behalf of her clients. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney.
