Business Strategies
One of the best ways to avoid expensive litigation or unreasonable financial or legal obligations is to make sure the terms of any contract you sign or partnership you create are absolutely clear to all concerned parties and under the law.
Estates
Everyone, regardless of wealth or status, has an estate. Your estate encompasses assets and possessions that you call your own and that will need to go somewhere when you die. We can help you with planning, administration and probate, and special family issues.
Litigation
Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, financial and emotional costs can accrue rapidly, no matter the inciting reason for the lawsuit. If you are being sued, there is no question: You will need strong legal representation.
Divorce & Family Law
Separation and divorce are never easy, but with an agreement negotiated out of court, they can be less awful. When filing suit is the best option, we offer strong representation and an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
Burt Langley’s Attorneys
Asheville-based attorneys April M. Burt and Katherine Langley focus their practice in the areas of estate planning and administration, civil litigation, business, and divorce/family law.
When you contact Burt Langley, you can expect to be treated with respect and consideration. You will receive a prompt return phone call and clear communication about your initial appointment. At that appointment, we will review your documents with you; if you have a litigation matter, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and formulate a plan for how to proceed, or even if you should proceed. Sometimes the sanest, most cost-effective decision is knowing when to let a dispute go; we offer the kind of risk-benefit analysis that allows you to make that choice.
When you retain us, we will explain our billing process clearly, so that you understand where your money is going. In an estate planning or business matter, you will receive an estimate of when your documents will be ready. As the client, you are an integral part of the team, and you will receive copies of all correspondence and court filings related to your case. We can’t guarantee an outcome for litigation, but we can promise accountability and clear communication.
