About
A Greenwich practice, run by a Greenwich family.
Richard J. Margenot is an independent attorney who has practised law since 1985 and run his own office since 1990. He is a lifelong resident of Greenwich, and his family's roots here extend back more than 100 years and four generations.
He describes himself as the ultimate general practitioner, with expertise across several areas and access to a bank of experts in the rest. In practice that means the person who takes your call is the person who does the work, and the matters that genuinely need a specialist get handed to one.
