Our Team Can Help You Win Your Virginia Waterfront Land Development Case

Jim has provided legal counsel for my company for years. Jim is more than just an excellent attorney, he is also a valued and trusted business advisor. I have always found Jim to be very responsive and his ability to review literally hundreds of documents and quickly determine the relevant facts and get to the heart of the matter is a core strength. He has also been able to leverage his background and experience to provide us with business advice to not only help us grow our business, but also avoid some major pitfalls. I highly recommend him.

Jim Lang represented my company in the Chesapeake Circuit Court for a heavy equipment manufacturing defect. His engineering background and perseverance provided him with a keen ability to find qualified expert witnesses. Our case was settled favorably one day prior to court after many months of litigation and depositions.

My company has engaged Jim and his firm, Pender & Coward on multiple occasions in the past few years. Our primary engagement was for business and government contracting concerns and Jim provided us with prompt, accurate and effective legal services in all cases. He is responsive and has a keen ability to understand the issues. When we were in need of a specialist his firm has a deep bench of legal talent to draw from. I will continue to reach out to Jim as my first choice for legal services.

I am very happy with the legal work that Jim Lang has provided to me and my business. I have used Jim for many business questions and personal issues also. Whenever asked about legal questions I always recommend talking with him. We have used him for about five years.

Jim has worked with our company for more than six years. I have always found him to have outstanding integrity, a strong commitment to our company, an extraordinary understanding of the law and the resources to bring forth the best legal advice to our complicated business needs. Our small business is stronger due to Jim Lang being our professional, legal advocate.

Mr. Lang came highly recommend to me from a business colleague. He provided me with prompt, accurate and effective legal services regarding restructuring several of my companies. He listened to what my objectives were and provided sound advice. He is a rare commodity in the legal profession in that he truly listens to his clients and looks at all aspects of the case. I highly recommend Mr. Lang and his team.

My husband, Paul, and myself cannot say enough good things about our experience with Pender and Coward. We worked with James Lang and Jeff Wilson on a rather complicated issue that we were not sure we could get a solution to. However, because of their professionalism, their vast knowledge and the ease with which they worked with us, it ended up to be a great success story. They were able to handle something a bit out of the norm and helped us achieve our goal without the issue escalating. They listened and actually heard us and their communication was always immediate and personal. We can't thank them enough. They lifted a huge weight off our shoulders and we are forever grateful.

Jim Lang, of Pender and Coward, has been invaluable in his research, investigation, and communication between agencies, regarding our environmental issues. My husband and I were a bit wary of lawyers, but did not have the expertise to tackle this problem. Jim turned out to be a very happy surprise and a most comfortable fit. We would recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Hi Jim and Jeff, Yay!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! . . . I can't tell you how relieved I am and how much I appreciate your efforts on our behalf! . . . Jim and Jeff, we always were confident that we found, not only the right attorneys in you, but also true advocates for our case. Thank you so much for your diligence and for the thoughtful and thorough way you represented us!

I met Mr. Lang a few years ago when I was in need of an attorney . . . (one of my friends referred him). Since that time I not only have I used Mr. Lang for my personal legal issues, but also my business legal issues. He reviewed and updated my contracts, he's helped with an employee / labor board issue (we won!), and any and all other issues I've had (legally). He has always been very professional in every instance, and always returned my phone calls in a timely manner. I have referred all my friends and family to him too! Just an all around great guy!

Trust and heart are the two words that I will use to describe working with Jim Lang. I trust Mr. Lang to do a great job for me, and let me know up front what my legal fees will total. In the past, he has given me the option to do some of the legal work myself in order to stay within my budget. Mr. Lang also has a heart. He understands life's many ups and downs. I felt that he was really on my side, that he was concerned about me, and how I was doing with my new business. Mr. Lang is an outstanding lawyer but more importantly, Mr. Lang is a good man. I highly recommend him.

Jim Lang has represented my company and myself in litigation several times. These were events that occurred at years of doing business of no fault of my own. I can not express the relief of having Jim by my side. The courtroom is not a place I like to find myself. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and understanding. He explained all my options and even what was going to occur before it happened. He knew what opposing council was going to do like as if he read their notes. I never at any time felt my decision for him to represent me was a wrong decision. I know sometimes life has a way of creating issues beyond your control. These issues can be handled in and a lot of times out of court. I know as long as James (Jim) Lang is my attorney I sleep better at night for those what if's life sometimes throws at you.

"Your presentation (plus Tom’s) was one of the most important educational sessions I’ve attended in my 30+ years in real estate. I sincerely value your good advice."

Jim has always given us the attention that I would have previously assumed a lawyer would only provide for a client with a high number of billable hours. He takes the time to explain complex issues and treats us with sincere respect. We have found our long term counsel to help us navigate life.
