Jesse Langel holds a J.D. and LL.M. in Taxation from New York Law School. He built his practice on technical expertise in areas most defendants don't understand: exemption law and post-judgment enforcement procedure.
The Langel Firm defends against collection enforcement. We stop bank restraints and wage garnishments, vacate default judgments, and protect assets through strategic application of exemption law. Jesse specializes in Article 52 post-judgment practice—the procedural framework that governs enforcement and determines what creditors can and cannot reach.
Jesse founded the firm during the Great Recession, focusing on the technical defenses available in collection litigation. "There's real satisfaction in using procedural knowledge to protect people's financial security," he says. "It's precise work that makes a tangible difference."
As demand grew, the firm expanded into guarantor advisory work. We provide strategic consultations to individuals facing personal liability on commercial lease obligations—analyzing exposure, identifying defenses in guaranty language, and negotiating settlements that minimize risk.
