I had such a great experience with Mr. Margeotes.
“He was very informative and available. When he told me to reach out with any concerns, I thought it would be a bunch of voicemails left and email correspondences. That was not the case. When he was available, he answered his phone, and when a voicemail was left, he returned the call as his earliest. I felt lucky to have an attorney like him and his firm. I am grateful.”
