“I do appreciate being recognised for the work invested, however I do what I do for a passion in law and wishing to help each client with their particular matter as best as I possibly can,” he said.
“I feel that living in a country town, any service provided to clients needs to be personable.
“I enjoy building rapport with clients and assisting their matters in a way that the client feels both comfortable and holds a thorough understanding of the issues at hand.
“Whether that be making myself available to talk through problems or spending extra time to explain particular concepts, it is most important for a client to understand their position and feel supported when making such legal decisions.”
Mr Langley said it had been a great experience since he accepted the role with the local solicitors four years ago after finishing his education at Narrandera High School.
He is mostly involved in general law matters and would like to specialise in farming succession law.
