Margolis Bloom & D'Agostino

These "people" are inhumane, lazy, unprofessional, money grubbing predators. They receive multiple messages from perspective clients who are never called back until so much time passes that the messages are left more frequently and become panicked. Messages explaining how dire and immediate the situation has become. Then, and only then do you receive the privilege of a return call saying there's not enough time left for them to be of any help!?! That they're too busy to help with such a limited turnaround time?! Absolutely disgusting way to treat anyone, but especially people already dealing with chronic health and disability issues. Losing everything because this "firm" dragged things out without even the courtesy of a timely referral to someone ready, willing, even anxious to help the underdogs. Instead, hoarding the opportunity to be able to help in the unlikely event something they're working on fell through or settled sooner than expected. Which was apparently not the case for me. Because now that they have finally, actually called back, I'm told they're "too busy with no time at all to be of any assistance"?!? Predators who I'd accuse of having their hearts in the wrong place (like their wallets) except that would imply they ever had hearts in the first, second or last place. So if you need legal help? Go elsewhere before it's too late. Don't get strung along like I did. Because any faith I had in kindness, empathy or humanity is gone. For good. Like everything I worked so hard to hang onto. Gone. When it definitely didn't have to be.

My dad died suddenly in 2020, leaving a tangle of confusing paperwork and questions as to who owned his house. My estranged uncle and grandmother claimed that it was theirs, even though it was my widowed stepmother's primary residence. I don't think I've ever been so upset in my life. I never expected a law firm to center me in difficult times but that's exactly what Sarah Hartline did for me. She was clear, calm, smart, and focused on the facts. With every call and document she was laser-focused but personal and respectful of how upsetting this was. As the case proceeded, in a quiet and unassuming way, she was an absolute powerhouse. I was bullied and threatened with every useless legal document that could be found on the internet but Sarah stayed the course and assembled thick binders full of documents detailing every confusing turn in the legal history of my dad's house. She countered every provoking, aggressive accusation with straight facts and precedent. She knew where every single line in every single document in those hundreds and hundreds of pages lived. Going to court was grueling and emotional. I'll never forget Sarah's paralegal coming up to me before the trial and saying "I've had to go through every one of your dad's documents. He was a good man and he loved you. I'm sorry you had to go through this." It meant so much to me. These are good people, and talented, and I felt like they were genuinely on my side at a time when I really needed someone on my side. I would recommend them to absolutely anybody. I cannot recommend Sarah Hartline highly enough, I'm so grateful to her. And we won! It's over and my dad's house is safe. Now I understand why people say in bad times you need a good lawyer.

To whom it may concern: - I've been very happy with how Margolis, Bloom & D'Agostino took such good care of us in handling pretty much everything that needed to be done to administer and close the estate of my long-time friend Marc F. Anderson. I was very pleased and thankful to Mr. Harry Margolis for taking my initial call following Marc's passing back in December of 2023 and how friendly, helpful and accommodating he was with agreeing to take on the job of settling Marc's estate. The attorney overseeing the case, Sarah Hartline, and her excellent team of Ilana Abramson, Courtney Sundell, and Eugenia Andrade, were so helpful and engaged and always there to answer any questions or concerns that I had. After initially speaking with Harry Margolis and Sarah Hartline on the telephone, I couldn't have been more reassured that Margolis, Bloom & D'Agostino would handle the settling of Marc's estate in the most professional, courteous and timely manner ... and sure enough they did not disappoint! As for anyone inquiring, I give my highest recommendation for Margolis, Bloom & D'Agostino as to handling one's estate, elder law, special needs and long-term care planning concerns. - Respectfully, Philip C.
