Background
Before joining the Cohen & Feeley, P.C. law firm, Mr. Margolis spent 13 years as an Assistant Prosecutor in the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, Essex County, New Jersey. The ECPO is the third largest prosecutor’s office in the country, with over 140 attorneys. During his tenure as an assistant prosecutor, he tried over 250 jury trials to verdict, including over 50 homicide trials. When he left the prosecutor’s office he was a Supervisor and a member of the Special Prosecutions Unit. In that capacity, he received special assignments from the county prosecutor to handle high profile complex litigation. Mr. Margolis was able to take that extensive trial experience and use it for the benefit of his civil clients.
As a civil attorney, Mr. Margolis has a record of attaining large awards on behalf of his clients injured due to the negligence of others. In January of 2009, after 3 days of trial, he settled an industrial accident claim for in excess of $1 Million Dollars. Prior to that, he obtained a medical malpractice verdict for a failure to diagnose cancer in the amount of $3.973 Million Dollars has a prior verdict in a similar medical malpractice for $1.5 Million Dollars. He also settled another failure to diagnose cancer case prior to that for $2.2 Million Dollars. You can view a list of Mr. Margolis’ recent cases and those of his partners on his firm’s website.
Mr. Margolis is a member of several professional organizations including the American Bar Association, the American Association for Justice (formerly the American Trial Lawyer’s Association) the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyer’s Association, the Northampton County Bar Association and the Million Dollar Advocate’s Forum of The Top Trial Lawyers In America TM. Mr. Margolis additionally serves on the Board of Governors for Easter Seals of Eastern Pennsylvania whose mission statement matches his philosophy in handling cases for his injured clients “…to provide quality, comprehensive … services to people with disabilities and other special needs in the communities we serve by creating solutions that promote dignity and change lives …”
Mr. Margolis has lectured to the public on various legal topics and has lectured to other attorneys at seminars sponsored by the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyer’s Association.
