Elizabeth S. Langford

To whom it may concern, If you are looking to hire a lawyer, I'd watch out before hiring Elizabeth langford. I hired her for over 10 years, as we though that starting over with another lawyer would be way more costly to which i know now was a big mistake. Elizabeth was our lawyer for at least 3 prev...ious cases, she charged $20k+ for at least 2 of them and although we won the cases, it was not due to her due diligence, but my long hours working through documents to bullet point evey actions. We found that she does follow the law for the most part, but she will not build a case for you or really defend her client in court. When we had meets with her, she turns them into a gosip hour and provided no actual plan to defend her client. Her last case as my lawyer, she charged at least $27,000 a case, and I had to build the case for her walking through every little detail (often multiple times). She failed to either remember what was told to her or she just didnt really care to remember, not sure. She then will feel entitled to bill hours on reviewing case information that she doesnt actually know and showed up to court dazed and confused. She waited until the day of court to ask, should we present first or second? I said, they filed the cases first, we are the defendant, they were the plantiff, they should go first. She agreed, but then mins later, in court, when the judge asked who should go first, she said ok, we will go first. No fight, no objection. This put us in a bad position as it's always better to go last since you hear everything the other person is claiming and can defend your client better, but no. She completely forgot to tell the judge about the unpaid medical / covid claims and when asked for documents to support medical premiums were paid, she froze like a deer in headlight. Her representation in court was pathetic and the other lawyer was far more prepared. Making Elizabeth look like a complete fool scrambling around, not to mention her client (my wife) who she provided no support. She was discombobulated shifting through papers frantically, leaving my wife to try and figure out what to do. When my wife was on the stand, she didnt asking any relevant follow up questions that could defend my wife. They were trying to charge for an extra curricular sport expenses to which our previous court document stated all extra sports must be agreed to in writing. We had extra sports that the plantiff agreed to but never paid, and yet she couldn't remember to say that in court. I made sure in previous cases to outline this keep each side from just trying to force the other parent to pay costs they may not be able to afford. Well, Elizabeth must have been sleeping bc she was dead silent. No defense just let them walk all over my wife. She completely forgot to tell the judge about the unpaid medical / covid claims and when asked for documents to support medical preimuims were paid, she froze like a deer in headlight, then was discombobulated/bewildered shifting through papers frantically. My poor wife was left defenseless, up the creek without a paddle, yet Elizabeth just sat there mostly silent. In this case, I can say I did stand back and watched after i know she had all the docs to defend my wife as I wanted to see if she would fail so i had the proof I needed to fire her. I was 100% correct. She provided no real fight in court and this justified me firing her. Ive debated if i should write a review and i said i want to make sure others are warned about her bc her profile doesnt lead you to see, in my opinion, the truth of how she presents herself in court. Overall, my opinion of Elizabeth Langford is she is disorganized and really not a true fighter for her clients. Although our cases ended fine for us bc the ex was behind in child support, etc. her representation of a client is to say less-than-stellar.

I highly recommend The Sampair Group and Elizabeth Langford! The entire staff are professional, kind and courteous. Liz really fought for me and my children. Stefanie Savage has superior organizational skills and kept me on the right track through out my divorce. Rick is a straight up 'tell it like i...t is' kind of guy. From the time we started the case to it's end nearly 14 months later they were all by my side. I as a single father, ended up getting 'final legal decision making authority' as well as child support and back support.

Liz worked on my child support and parenting time modification and helped me pursue back child support. This case took almost a year and was very complex. Liz worked every angle in order to argue the case for back support which usually is not given. She is amazingly smart and energetic. She really th...inks of everything and her team was able to put together a case which not only changed my parenting time to my advantage but I was awarded child support and $42000 in back child support and legal fees. I highly recommend her, she is fair and tenacious.

Liz and her team handled my divorce from day one. She was up front and honest right from my first consultation as to what to expect throughout the process. She was aggressive in working with my ex-husband and forced his hand to get an attorney when he started to play games with us. She worked to g...et me the settlement my son and I deserved. Unfortunately we ended up in court but she was able to negotiate in the last minutes before meeting with the judge to get the settlement. The way she presented our settlement to the judge showed her knowledge of the case. While my ex-husband's attorney fumbled to even get our names correct. Liz's paralegal was also an asset to me and answered many questions and was helpful in getting the appropriate forms and documents filed. I've referred her to a friend of mine who was also very satisfied with the settlement of her divorce. Liz was always available to meet in person, return my phone calls and emails, as was her paralegal. She was always knowledgeable about my case. I found her to be part counselor too as she was so reassuring to me during this frightening time in my life. She showed warmth and compassion towards me and I always felt like she cared about my and my son's well being and wanted to secure our future for us. I will continue to refer her to anyone I know needing legal assitance.
