What Genuinely Nice Guy.
Mr. Langer took the time to answer some difficult questions even though he knew I couldn't hire him because he is out of state. Nice to see nowadays. I sure wish he was here so I could hire him. This is the guy you want! Thanks!

Outstanding Representation
I had firearms issue which I felt I would benefit from representation from an experienced attorney. I came to find Keith on the internet and inquired if he could help me in my case. Without any hesitation Keith accepted my case. Keith was there for me every step of the way. From intake to conclusion all my questions were answered. Keith was right there for me in court, and his knowledge and professionalism really showed during my hearing…….leading to a dismissal of my charge and subsequent return of my License to carry. Keith has obviously mastered his area to law to a great extent. If you need a firearms attorney do not hesitate to hire Keith……I highly recommend him. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. When I really needed someone on my side he was there for me and I will never forget that.

A very happy client!!
Kieth is wonderful to work with! Very attentive and his attention to detail impressive. Very prompt response. Called me back on a weekend, which I did not expect. He answered all my questions and emails very promptly as well. I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Knowledgeable, thorough and proactive
Keith Langer guided me through the process of changing my status from a holder of in-state to nonresident LTC. I live halfway around the world and, due to pandemic-related restrictions, was unable to travel stateside. Keith gave excellent and timely advice, which enabled me to make the right decision. Given that many processes including postal services stopped for 3 months in my country of residence, he relentlessly attended to even the small details. I would highly recommend Keith Langer as an attorney for firearms law. He's a good guy to have in your corner.

Excellent attorney for all firearm matters
Excellent attorney with both broad and deep knowledge related to firearms law, especially in Massachusetts, where the legal landscape can be complex. I routinely work with attorneys for business and Mr. Langer's perspective, clarity, and ability to cut through noise and get to what matters stands out among others. He has provided solid advice to me for many years. Highly recommended.

MA LTC
Keith was very professional and really is versed in MA laws regarding LTC. My case was related to a denied LTC and Keith provided great insight into the legal proceeding. I find Keith to be honest and straightforward and isn’t afraid to take on any city or town. If you have any LTC issues I recommend meeting with Keith.

Great Attorney
We were so lucky to have Mr. Langer as our lawyer. He did a great job and brought our beloved pet, involved into the dog bite case, back into the family. This wonderful lawyer is highly professional and a pleasure to work with, patients with his clients, very detail-oriented and easy to communicate. I am sure these are the qualities of any great lawyer.

A very generous review. The real achievement was getting the dog home within 24 hours of the hearing, with no imposition of purchasing a liability insurance policy - about $1,350/yr.

Amazing 2A Attorney
Keith did an outstanding job representing me. He made sure I understood what was going on and what the next step was. I never once felt clueless or confused in regards to any part of my case. I am extremely pleased with his services and the outcome of my case. Highly recommend this gentleman.
Response from Keith Langer August 23, 2019
Any case that involves a firearm charge and DCF is fraught with issues. I was happy to help Bryan resolve this without convictions or further complications.

Best 2A Lawyer
Keith is one of the best 2A lawyers around. If you have a 2A issue in MA or RI I suggest you retain his services. His advice helped me get my license after a consultation and he was fully prepared to take on the system if need be.

Best defense attorney ever!
My experience with Keith was one of the best! I was not sure if I would win my case but Keith provided me with confidence and reassurance that I would come out on top and he was right! Keith was insightful and walked me through my case with great expertise and support. His knowledge and attention to the facts was admirable and I would definitely recommend him to be your attorney. He was amazing and I will forever be grateful I got to have him on my side.

Received RI CCW on appeal by Attorney Langer
Attorney Langer represented me on an appeal to the Rhode Island AG's denial of a concealed carry permit. I found him to be outstanding in his temperament and approach to the appeal. I would and will recommend Attorney Langer on any matter before the AG's office.
