Peace Of Mind

Mr. Langer was my second attorney in my recently settled divorce. He is what I refer to as "The Closer". He was able to take the necessary steps to move my divorce toward its conclusion. Mr Langer, as well as his entire office staff, impressed me with the professionalism and kindness with which they handled my case; as it was one of the most difficult times in my life. I always felt informed, and I felt as though my money was well spent on this highly regarded attorney in our community. You can't go wrong with Langer and Langer!

Horrible attorney

I hired Mike Langer when I went through my divorce in 2011. I was a stay at home mom and had no income whatsoever and when it came time for support checks to start, he did not set anything up. I had to not only borrow money from my mom, I had to call him instead of him getting it started for me then charged me for the phone call. By this time my ex was over 3 months behind.. I was looking frantically for a job to support myself and my two children and he kept telling me to hurry and get a job since my soon to be ex was tired of supporting me… I had at least 3 interviews a week and no one was hiring a 45 year old mom that hasn’t worked in 20 years. I had to walk away from the home because I did not make enough money to retain it and had to use my 401(k) money from a previous job to put down on the new home and Langer was supposed to Quadro the money and did not so I was taxed on the money that I took out and all the IRS over $8000. When I called him on this he immediately had the money transferred and charged me an overnight fee for it! Never once did he suggest having my soon to be ex pay attorney fees nor did he offer to correct the errors he and his office had made. If I would’ve known I would’ve gotten them on errors and omissions! Do not hire this lawyer!
