Michael S. Margulies, a prominent Twin Cities real estate lawyer and recently resigned member of the St. Paul Planning Commission, was forced to withdraw as partner of Minneapolis law firm Lindquist & Vennum after the firm claimed he engaged in professional misconduct. The firm's investigation "uncovered the fact that (Margulies) had misappropriated significant sums from a limited number of clients and from the firm," said Daryle Uphoff, managing partner of Lindquist & Vennum, in a written statement. The statement came Friday, the same day Margulies, 56, of St. Paul, and his personal company, Triad Services, were sued in Ramsey County District Court by a real estate development company for which he had worked as an attorney, secretary and treasurer. In the lawsuit, CMB Minnetonka LLC alleged that Margulies "made numerous illicit withdrawals" from CMB's bank account and line of credit at Highland Bank and used the money — $1.5 million or more — for his own purposes. Specifically, the suit claims Margulies spent the money to overhaul the historic mansion at 516 Summit Ave. in St. Paul that he owned with his former wife. "It's a matter of somebody getting way out of line with the authority they were given as a lawyer," said Douglas Elsass, attorney for CMB. |

PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL LEGAL SERVICES TO IMMIGRANTS
The Law Offices of McHenry & Associates is a San Diego based Immigration Law Firm dedicated to offering exceptional legal services in all matters related to U.S. Immigration Law. Immigration Law can be highly complex and is ever-changing. McHenry & Associates’ law practice is limited exclusively to U.S. Immigration Law in order to provide our clients with the most competent legal representation possible.
Why choose McHenry & Associates? The answer is our commitment, communication and competence.
Commitment: We care about what happens to our clients. We will not take your case unless we genuinely believe we can succeed in achieving your goals. We don’t believe in providing clients false hope for the sake of profit. For that reason, we do not accept every immigration case. If we can assist you, we will. If we cannot assist you we will also let you know or we may suggest other resources.
Communication: No matter how remarkable an attorney may be ? or any other professional for that matter ? it will not help you if you do not feel comfortable speaking to him or her. We believe that communication is the key to success. We pride ourselves on clear, straight-forward and effective communication. From your initial consultation to the completion of your case, your immigration attorney will ensure that you fully understand all aspects of your case.
Competence: Even the simplest immigration matters can have serious immigration consequences if handled improperly. Your decision in choosing an immigration lawyer is a crucial one. Since immigration law is so complex, it makes sense to choose a law firm that limits their practice to immigration law. Unfortunately, many clients are forced to hire immigration attorneys as a result of USCIS application failures, denials and other problems that occurred from clients trying to do it themselves. It is always best to consult a licensed attorney that specializes in immigration law before proceeding on your own with any immigration related matter.

NY woman pleads not guilty to strangling dau

| A woman who allegedly told police she strangled her daughter because the young woman was disrespectful pleaded not guilty Wednesday to murder. Stacey Pagli, 38, stood silent, looking haggard in handcuffs and a gray sweat suit, during a brief appearance in Westchester County Court. Her husband, who shouted angrily at her during an earlier court hearing, did not attend the arraignment. Pagli is charged with killing 18-year-old Marissa Pagli on Feb. 22 in their staff apartment on the campus of Manhattanville College in Purchase. Marissa was a freshman at the school and her father is a maintenance supervisor. In court papers released last week, police quoted Stacey Pagli as saying her daughter was "disrespectful all the time" and the strangling occurred after "she pushed my last button." She said she attempted suicide after the killing by cutting her wrist and trying to hang herself. She is on suicide watch at the county jail. Pagli did not speak at Wednesday's session. Defense lawyer Allan Focarile entered the not guilty plea. He did not seek bail and did not say whether he plans a defense on psychiatric grounds. |
