About the Attorney
Why Margery’s opinion can help your matter
When you bring a legal concern to First Move, you get the benefit of a broad legal foundation — one that lets Margery Golant look at your situation, identify what matters, and help you decide the right first step.
Legal problems rarely arrive with a clear label. A business disagreement may hide a contract issue. A real estate question may involve probate, title, or creditor concerns. A family decision may touch property, estate planning, and liability all at once.
That is where Margery Golant’s experience becomes useful. She has spent decades analyzing legal problems from multiple vantage points — as a judge, as in-house counsel to a national company, as a practicing attorney, and as a witness before the United States House of Representatives. She can bring that accumulated knowledge to bear on your specific matter, spot the issues that may not be obvious, and help you understand your options.
She has decided cases from the bench
As a former judge, Margery knows how legal disputes are evaluated, what arguments carry weight, and how to spot the issues that actually move a case.
She has advised from inside the institution
As Assistant General Counsel and Director of Title Services at a national financial company, she understands how large organizations evaluate risk, process claims, and respond to pressure.
She has represented people on the other side
Decades of representing individuals, families, and businesses mean she understands how legal problems feel from the client’s seat — and how to translate that into a clear plan.
