Crazy Case "This one Paul will never forget"

Have you ever heard the term "wrong place at the wrong time?" well here we go... My son found himself in a situation non provoked on his end and did everything to avoid confrontation. But a determined jealous drunk saw and opportunity and took full advantage. Long story short one day I received bog...us charges in the mail against him. I was the first to read and immediately contacted a previous lawyer that was moving forward to be a judge who then refereed me to Paul. I called Paul as soon as I got his number and the first to speak with him and hired him instantly. His energy, passion, and enthusiasm was magnetic and I knew he was the guy I needed for my son. He arranged to meet me and my son in the middle of a snow storm waiting in his office. Mind you this all went down in less than 18 hours of receiving these false charges. My son was innocent and he was the victim and has worked hard at his college career and has the biggest heart. I as a mother wasn't going to let anyone take that away especially his pride because this became personal. Paul came through with flying colors, he saved my baby, his career, reputation, and future. I am so grateful and highly recommend him to future clients. He definitely delivered and I was confident and proud to have him by my side for my son. Team Awesome, he will forever be a friend and I value him always. Thanks Paul :)

Terrific Attorney!

Paul Lang “hit it out of the park” yesterday in court! He was able to get my charges dismissed at my preliminary hearing. In addition to a great cross examination of the arresting police officer, Paul researched, analyzed and applied case law to convince the judge there was not enough evidence to jus...tify a belief that I committed a crime. Paul is the consummate professional who is very knowledgeable about the law. To add to these attributes, he’s personable, exudes confidence and put me at ease as I dealt with the stress of my upcoming hearing. Calls were always returned and questions answered in a timely fashion. Not a second went by during the weeks leading up to the court date when I didn't feel my case was a priority. I highly recommend Paul Lang if you want excellent legal representation and a positive outcome to your case. He’ll fight for you… Thanks Paul!

I was in a jam. One of those I'm innocent but they were trying there hardest to "Say" I'm guilty

Paul was referred to me by my Aunts Friends who as well was a lawyer. Since day one he told me it was going to be a tough case. These kind don't see there light on the preliminaries. But in trial we can def win but one step at a time. It was a waiting game at first due too courts, then me and oth...er hearings that Paul had. But my day in front of the judge came. I was a nervous wreck..... Paul did everything he could to just calm me down. When we were in front of the judge the DA and the police officers were all smiles and all pointing fingers at me for things they know they couldn't get me for but since the other two took plea bargains they tried sticking to me. Paul wasn't having it. He pushed. I spoke. He objected. Da didn't know what hit em. And I went from facing three severe charges and potentially losing my daughter to all charges dropped. The da and cops after Paul left all told me I had a really good lawyer. He looks young like me. But it's like this. He is someone you don't see coming. And he saved me thousands of dollars. I can't thank him enough.

Look No Further, You Have Found Your Attorney

I am so thankful for Paul and all the help he has provided me in the past few months. I hope this review finds someone like myself who got a DUI and thought the world was over. I was referred to Paul, and from the first conversation I knew I found my lawyer to get me through this tough time. Paul cle...arly demonstrates a great concern for his clients, and he treats clients like family. I was extremely down when I first contacted Paul, but I immediately felt better when he told me not worry, I am not a criminal, and he will get my normal life back. The rest is history, because when you see Paul work in a courtroom it is clear why he has all of these wonderful review on here. He is an extreme professional and his dedication to his practice is extremely admirable. All said and done... I did get my life back and I am extremely grateful. Thanks again Paul!

After 8 long months of frustration mr Lang came out with quick strategic Vidal blows and crippled the commonwealth in less than 30 minutes with the suppression hearing ruled in our favor. Even when the Da and the judge refused to allow vital evidence to prove our case, without thinking he put his sel...f and reputation on the line to get it into the proceedings, and it worked! When lawyers really care they go beyond the call of duty! Hats off and congratulations on your victory! Tracell

"Louis H. Pollak, one of Pennsylvania’s greatest legal minds, once wrote that “[s]marts are a dime a dozen . . .

Paul has the discipline, character and life experiences that separate him from the many many attorneys out there practicing today. For Paul, his work is not just about making money, it's a profession and it's about improving peoples’ lives. I couldn't recommend him higher as a potential attorney and also as a person."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
