Texarkana is my hometown.  After return from law school in 1989 I began practicing in Texarkana.  I have been heavily invovled in the community including:  Texarkana Ducks Unlimited - Area Chairman; Court Appointed Special Advocates, Board of Directors- President; Bowie County Levee Board, District 1- Secretary; Texarkana Regional AirportAuthority - Board Chairman; Four States Fair and Rodeo Association - Board Chairman; Texarkana Museum Systems- Treasurer; Christus St. Michael Foundation Board;  Teen Court of Texarkana - Judge; Temple Center - Easter Seal VIP; Southwest Arkansas High School Rodeo Association - Vice President; Williams Memorial Methodist Church - Finance Committee, Pastor Parish Relations and Administrative Counsel.. Attorney Langdon is now officially recognized by the National Board of Legal Specialty Certification as a specialist in family law. Attorneys who are board certified by NBLSC demonstrate that they have achieved both proficiency and education requirements to maintain a comprehensive understanding of family law in their state. NBLSC is an American Bar Association-accredited organization that identifies attorneys who meet stringent requirements for certification. It fosters a legal community that is encouraged to specialize and is dedicated to "achieving and maintaining a high standard of practice and to leveling the playing field for clients." To become board certified, an attorney's experience, judicial and peer references, and disciplinary notices are evaluated. There is also an exam to ensure that the lawyer's legal knowledge is up to the highest standards. If certification is achieved, it is reviewed and—if an attorney is again approved—renewed every five years. Attorneys who are board certified in family law must be able to demonstrate that they can provide certain services for clients. These include negotiation and mediation practices, pre or post nuptial agreement drafting, settlement agreements and parenting plan creation, domestic violence protections, and other necessary and critical services. Attorney Langdon’s board certification is just the latest notice he has accumulated in his career. He is the only attorney in the State of Arkansas accepted as a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.  He was invited and nominated by his peers in East Texas to membership of the American Board of Trial Advocates, and elected as a member.  He is an invited member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He holds numerous bar association memberships, as well, including in Texarkana, Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Arkansas. He has also been recognized by Super Lawyers® for seven consecutive years. Counties regularly appearing in Texas: Bowie, Cass, Red River, Marion, Morris, Titus & Lamar; Arkansas: Miller, Little River, Sevier, Howard, Pike, Hempstead, Nevada, Lafayette, & Columbia.

I have been a Texarkana native for the majority of my life, and understand the intricacies and benefits of “small-town life." Although most of my practice is in the Texarkana area, I maintain clients in surrounding counties including Little River, Hempstead, Clark, Columbia, and more. My practice encompasses a variety of areas including family law, personal injury, civil litigation, criminal defense, and others.

Attorney's are hired because of a conflict or problem that needs solving.  The Goal of my Firm is to successfully resolve the issue for which we are hired,  in my clients best interest, and do so cost effectively!  This requires not only a superior understanding of the law but, it also requires effective communication with the client.  Not every client has a realistic understanding and expectations of all aspects of their case, or know all of their options.  Effective communication is the key.  It is important that the attorney has the necessary energy, skills and confidence to go to battle for the client, this means take the case to trial if necessary,  and win!! My firm has a track record of aggresive representation through all phases of litigation whether it is a criminal case or civil matter, such as a personal injury, business dispute or family law issue.
