Who We Are
Margolis Weldon was founded in February 2015 with the promise of redefining the legal experience by helping people protect what they value most. While working together at an elder law firm, Matt and Lauren realized how cohesive their working relationship was and the similarity in their styles of estate planning and client advocacy. Matt and Lauren have an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong desire to be valued contributors to the fields of elder law and estate planning, while supporting clients and their families through some of life's most difficult transitions. More importantly, they understand how challenging it can be for people to talk about death and dying, and they are committed to making the planning process as comfortable as possible. Matt and Lauren's goal is to have their clients truly enjoy working with the firm while accomplishing their goals.

Our Team
Matthew R. Margolis
Matt simply enjoys helping people. When he fell into the practice areas of Estate Planning and Elder Law in March of 2011, he truly found his calling. Thinking he would miss the hustle and bustle of being in the loop, wearing a suit every day, and "fighting" in court, he soon realized that there was more to the practice of law.
