Employment and Labor 50%

I handle mostly unpaid overtime wage and unpaid minimum wage claims for individuals and in class actions. I also represent employees with Family and Medical Leave Act claims.

23 years | 100 cases

50%
Business 20%

I help people create and manage their businesses from the ground up. I also help them deal with taxing authorities, shareholders and succession plans.

28 years | 40 cases

20%
Litigation 20%

Disputes arise all the time between businesses and individuals. The question up front is always "Do I have a case?" I can answer that, yes or no, relatively quickly. If a legal proceeding is necessary, then I can handle that throughout Ohio and out of Ohio in federal courts. As a caveat, more than 90% of cases are either resolved by settlement or judgment before trial.

28 years | 80 cases

20%
Probate 10%

Assisting families with the process of distributing and passing on a deceased loved one's assets is extremely satisfying. My team and I have done it many times. For better or worse, we have also experienced the process personally.

He Takes Your Case Seriously

Jim is a very bright young lawyer who has proven to be very responsive to any and all of our requests. We are a Performing Arts Academy and just received a wonderful facility for our Academy. Jim reviewed all the leases involved with tenants in the building, advised us on changes we needed to make ...and was very helpful in the closing of the property. He was always one step ahead and paved the way for a smooth beginning and transition into the facility. Several years ago, while we were in another rental situation, we had to terminate a laborer's contract due to poor workmanship and work ethics. Jim handled the situation in a very quick manner and stopped the threat of a law suit. We have always found Jim to be very fair and to the point. He is honest and always give his best to a case.

Needed Assistance with a Bureau of Workers Compensation Drug Free

I contctd James Langendorf because I knew of him as a local human resource attornery. I wanted to see if he could help me provide a policy to my drug free safety program education clients. This turned out to be more complicated than I had suspected, and the potential cost filed me with fear. We w...ere able to work in concert with one another, keep the cost affordable for my small business, and provide one more expertise for his potential use.
