Awesome Professional Lawyer

From my first conversation with Langford Law Office, I felt supported and understood. Mr. Langford, Marya, and the entire team were compassionate, responsive, and thorough. They kept me informed at every step, explained the legal process in clear terms, and made sure I never felt alone or overwhelmed... during the divorce process. What meant the most to me was that I wasn’t just a client—I was someone they genuinely cared about, and their empathy, attention to detail, and commitment to doing what was right made all the difference! If you want a legal team that will stand by you with skill and heart, I recommend Langford Law Office!

Violating verbal agreements. Not responding.

Not a man of his word. Violating verbal agreements. Not performing and not responding.

DON'T DO IT!!!!

First off, read the review from "Sherry" from December 2020. I should have. This is exactly what this guy has done (not done) for me. I moved in January, and his secratary told me I didn't have to inform the court because I had representation. Just got his motion to withdraw 30 minutes ago, and had m...y old address and filed it with the court. HE COULDN'T EVEN GET AN ADDRESS CHANGE DONE RIGHT!! Forgetting to file important paperwork from December of 2021, and just telling me about it a week ago. No wonder I didn't have any updates. This guy could care less about you or your case. He's horrible and shouldn't have the ability to represent anyone in the state of Arizona. I will be filing a complaint with the Arizona State Bar Association tomorrow. Save your money!! Save your peace of mind for anyone but this guy. HORRIBLE! Absolutely don't take his response to this as fact. He's a horrible attorney and will NOT represent you.

Michael, We strive to provide all of our clients with excellent service. One way in which we do this, is through regular communication. Another is by staying apprised of deadlines, so that we will never miss filing a document with the court in a timely manner. We believe there is some misunderstanding about how your case was handled and have communicated that to you. You had expressed your confidence and appreciation of our office just a week before writing this review. We hope you get the result you desire in your case and wish you nothing but the best.

Langford Law Firm is a resoundingly great choice to have made!

After a year of court on my own and being left in a position where I had to suddenly tread new and unfamiliar, and far more often than not, tumultuous waters (with no life jacket to boot) and despite the abundance of questions I had, the Langford Law Firm was able to thoroughly and swiftly bring me u...p to speed on what was relevant, along the way illuminating and providing direction of what to do in the ensuing aftermath of court, then further helping me navigate to safer waters amid a totally new and unfamiliar court hearing: all toward ultimately having achieved a result that was another overall benefit to my children and everyone involved in the family law case and issues at hand. They're professional and sincere and I would recommend Michael and his team to look after your best interests with grounded and resolute conviction and dedication for you, toward and in regard for whatever matter may be at hand... Again: Thank you!

Would NOT recommend!!

I would not recommend! This attorney was not timely. He had over a month to file and did not do so in time, therefore the opposing council filed in another county, (for which I was going to have to pay his travel fees to go to court). He did not follow up with his respondence which took 2 months for ...him to figure out the opposing never received the documents. He nearly cost me my case by telling me it was acceptable to have a telephonic trial. It was very clear it was not okay with the judge. The case ended up getting rescheduled because we were not there in person. Even after the judge reprimanded him, he was still going to file a motion for a telephonic trial because he was so afraid of COVID he was unwilling to travel and appear in court. He charged me for the entire time we sat in his office even though he spent the majority of the time trying to get his equipment to work (not even working on my case). He charged me for every text, email, and phone call correcting his mistakes, (sometimes two or three times) because he did not listen the first time. He wasted $4,000.00 and 11 months of my time and money and nothing accomplished. The stress of getting him to do his job was unbearable. I released him from his contract and hired a much better attorney who got it settled in less than two months. The new attorney had to redo everything that was done because it was done incorrectly. I feel as though he is not interested in winning your case but charging you for every penny he can and extending your case as long as he can to run up more billable hours. Do not hire Michael Langford you will regret it!

"I met Michael in law school. He was always serious and focused on the matters at hand. He is dedicated to his clients and their matters with passion and integrity.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Mr. Langford recently at StandDown 2018, an event put on for veterans and homeless at the Veterans Coliseum in Phoenix. We both were providing pro bono (free of charge) legal advice and assistance to individuals with family law matters or needs. It was an extremely rewarding experience, and I think it speaks to the kind of attorney Mr. Langford is that he would volunteer his time for part of a business day when he could be billing paying clients. Bravo, Mr. Langford! Keep up the good work!"
