About Law Offices of Randy S. Margulis
The Law Offices of Randy S. Margulis keeps two offices, on Delaware Avenue downtown and on Limestone Drive in Williamsville, and names three attorneys with a bio for each. Its site explains seven stages of a matrimonial case and describes four routes through one, from mediation to trial, which is as many as any firm here.
80 reviews at 3.9. It publishes a page about what a divorce costs that explains the retainer, the hourly rate and the court fees, and it does not say what it charges for any of them, so the page is recorded here as an account of the market rather than as the firm's own terms.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
None of the 3 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.
