Superceeded My Expectations

If you are looking for a number 1 top notch A class lawyer who's fees are reasonable & outway the worth of getting your case settled favorably on your side, who is professional, passionate about what he does, takes you seriously, does not play games, who is extremely knowledgeable and knows your righ...ts and will fight for you every inch of the way, then look no further, Jesse Langel is your man. I interviewed 3 lawyers but when I spoke to Jesse he was different and knew exactly what needed to be done in order to protect me from slime debt collectors who take advantage of way too many people. Once I hired him he got down to business right away and made their heads spin so fast they didn't know what to do because Jesse doesn't play around. My case was resolved and settled within a month and although I can't talk in detail about the case due to confidentiality agreements & such, what I can say is that the case was settled favorably on my side and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder and I can finally breath again. Jesse will not disappoint, he is an amazing lawyer, someone you can trust. I had a gut feeling about Jesse and I am so happy I went with him because he totally superseded my expectations in resolving my case. I can't thank you enough Jesse, you are the best!

Top of his field

Not just a great attorney but a great guy. Called him about a year ago and thought I left my review then but can't find it now, so want to put my experience on the record: I called him up regarding a threatened lawsuit. He did not skimp on time at all, shared a tremendous amount of knowledge and wis...dom and gave valuable advice, and offered to work with me to customize any help I would need at a very reasonable price if the suit materialized. Very kind and supportive. The suit didn't materialize at the time, but since then I have come across his name repeatedly in all of the best contexts: a NACA consumer lawyer (a certification that counts), highly recommended in online forums (by people who are experienced at representing themselves) as the go-to attorney when the suit gets too complex, and its clear from the published case opinions in which he's been the defending attorney that he is creative, deeply-versed, and gets results. Really hope to deal with him in the future.

Outstanding Work

Jesse did an amazing job for me. Received a bogus notice of garnishment from a very old credit card debt that had been sold repeatedly. All of the companies involved were out out of business except for the most recent buyer. Not only did Jesse make the garnishment, and the underlying judgement go awa...y, he was able to countersue due to fraudulent practices by the debt collectors, recouping not just my attorney fees but additional money as well.

Excellence in Consumer Debt Collection Cases

I had contacted Jesse Langel and his law firm after locating his website through googling credit card lawsuits. I saw the many decisions that would be helpful in litigating my lawsuit, and when I learned he was a NY Law School graduate, as was my husband, I immediately contacted his law firm to seek ...his counsel. Mr. Langel got back to me within 24 hours and proposed a successful strategy that lead to a swift and efficient resolution of my consumer debt action. Mr. Langel was easily accessible and responsive to all my issues and questions. His responses were thorough and complete and easily understandable to the lei person. Mr. Langel was readily available, professional and responsive, and resolved the matter in less than a week. His hands on approach and legal strategy resolved my consumer debt action that had been lingering for years. And all this in a few emails and a couple of phone calls resolved this matter to my benefit. I would highly recommend contacting Mr. Langel and his firm, if you have a pending consumer debt action as his years of experience and commitment in resolving these matters, will bring your matter to a successful conclusion.

Credit resolution dispute

Mr Langel has now helped me resolve two outstanding credit issues with major companies that had gone to 3rd party collections companies. In each of these cases his diligence and professionalism resulted in the cases being dismissed and or reduced to a fraction of the cost/judgement. His experience in... dealing with these specific collections companies is his true expertise and could not have resolved these issues without his firm. He or member of his staff were always giving me detailed updates on the status of my case which was great as well.
