PARIS HILTON'S EARLY RELEASE MY VIEWS IN THE DAILY NEWS - FRIDAY!
The editor over the Daily News was kind enough to ask me to write a piece on my opinion on Paris Hilton's early release. Pick up a copy Friday and let me know what you think!
The original LA's Dopest Attorney Youtube
"Allison Margolin calls herself Los Angeles’s “dopest attorney.” The 28-year-old graduate of Beverly Hills High, Columbia University and Harvard Law School has her own blog and promotional video on YouTube. Today, the Los Angeles Times helps her cause with a colorful profile of the ambitious young criminal defense lawyer.." Wall Street Journal
"LA's Dopest lawyer, again: Allison Margolin, the 28-year-old Harvard Law grad whose ads offering to represent pot smokers are a staple of the local alt weeklies..." LA Observed
"A lawyer for 3 1/2 years, Margolin has gained notoriety for unorthodox ads that proclaim her "L.A.'s dopest attorney." She even has a video publicizing her practice on the Internet site Youtube." LA Times
"Beverly Hills lawyer Allison Margolin made a three-and-a-half-minute video for YouTube about her practice and her position on issues such as marijuana laws, getting her noticed by commentators all over the Internet." ABA Journal

"One very ingenious young lawyer out of California did just that to give herself a competitive edge. Allison Margolin, a newly minted Harvard Law School graduate, who concentrates in criminal law, is very passionate about the decriminalization of marijuana. Her video highlights not just her criminal practice, but has testimonials of her and a client on the courthouse steps. The video allows her to showcase her mission through a medium her client base would most likely use." Connecticut Law Review
"Framed Skunk Magazine features and Us Weekly covers adorn her office walls alongside diplomas from Columbia and Harvard Law. She's been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and keeps a personal blog that covers everything from social and legal commentary to musings on Paris Hilton and Playboy. You can even watch YouTube videos of her expounding on why all drugs should be legalized." Helen Jupiter-Blogger.LA.com
"Allison Margolin, if you read articles written on her, projects nothing less than who she is, irreverent quirky, passionate and committed, well-educated, gutsy, and weaned on criminal law. And her 'brand' shows all of that." Build A Solo Practice, LLC
I've really enjoyed reading about what you've done with yourself from college, right up to now. I also think your networking/marketing prowess is what pisses off your detractors most. YouTube? A stroke of genius!!! They'll make a movie about you eventually! But you already know that right?" Cannazine - Myspace friend
"Been watching you on you tube AMAZZZZZZIIINNNGGG
The best LAWYER - this world needs such people like you to bring justice back RESPECT be blessed and wish you lots of positive energy. STAY STRONG ALLISON." Ash - Tribe.net

I read your article in the Daily News. However, you do not mention that the judge strictly forbid electronic monitoring in the case. Doesn't that change your opinion on allowing an early release?
Gary, please take the time to review the verbiage in Ms. Margolin's op-ed piece, particularly, "Even where a judge has said EMP is not an option, as in Hilton's case, a sheriff's jurisdiction most often supersedes the court's decision." Moreover, an EMP is not an early release. Quite the contrary, in fact, as the defendant was going to spend the remainder of her whole sentence in the EMP program. Rarely does a defendant serve a sentence in its entirety in Los Angeles' crowded jails.
Evidently, this was taken into consideration when Ms. Margolin composed the piece. It is highly unlikely that an attorney of her stature would compose an article for publication without being wholly informed and addressing the variables in the pertinent situation.
Great job, Allison - you continue to impress California, your country, and now Canada !
