Jesse Langel earned his J.D. and LL.M. in Taxation from New York Law School. His practice centers on collection defense and guarantor advisory—two areas where technical knowledge of exemption law and enforcement procedure directly protects clients' financial interests.
The Langel Firm stops bank restraints, halts wage garnishments, and vacates default judgments. Jesse focuses on Article 52 post-judgment practice, applying New York's exemption statutes to shield income and assets from enforcement. This technical work—traverse hearings, income execution challenges, exemption claims—often determines whether clients keep their accounts unfrozen and their paychecks intact.
Jesse founded the firm during the Great Recession with a focus on procedural defense in collection litigation. "The law provides real protections," he says. "My job is making sure clients can actually use them."
Admitted to practice in New York State courts, U.S. Tax Court, and the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Consistently ranked among New York's top consumer protection attorneys by 3BestRated.com.
