Testimonials

Having served the needs of heirs and the legal professionals since 1988, Cliff von Langen has received many letters of praise and “thanks.” Here are just a few quotes:


You guys are AMAZING!!

I went to Surrogate’s Court to file the amended probate petition using the information you were able to give us so quickly. Thank you so much for that, even the Court clerk was impressed by how fast your turnaround was!

Again, thank you so much for the incredible work you do!

With much appreciation,

Marianne Stephan
Law Office of Francis J. Harvey, Jr.

Good Morning Cliff—

I received the completed Family Tree in the mail earlier this week… it’s amazing the number of beneficiaries there are!

You and Michele did a great job. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you’ve both put in to this family tree. I know it has been a long process…

Thanks as always!

Jillian Bisson, Fiduciary Administrator
Pennsylvania Team
Wells Fargo Wealth Management

Thank you for all your assistance. We will definitely use your services next time the occasion arises and recommend you to all who are in need of such services.

Thomas Smith, Trust Administrator
Wells Fargo Wealth Management

As we discussed, six years ago, you did a fine job for me in a case about which I’ve spoken in classrooms to paralegals, and to lawyers at seminars.  The family tree you provided covered 3 out of 4 of the courtroom’s walls.  An amazing case.  Not sure this assignment will rise to the level of that one, but nevertheless I am sure you are up to the task.

I have been appointed by the Court as the Attorney ad Litem to find the missing heirs. Thank you very, very much for your willingness to help us in this case.

Cliff:  Thank you and your team for your thorough and detailed work in researching this and putting it together in such a concise format.

I want to again say thank you for your time and patience. You have no idea how much this matter means to me and my children. This is a healing process for my relationship with my uncle too! You seem like a very sincere person, and I hope I can still look forward to a “family tree”… that would be so great to have. May God bless you and may your business continue to prosper. Thank you, again.

We hired Cliff von Langen and his agency to research the location of two young children who were listed as beneficiaries of an IRA account. Mr. Von Langen was successful in locating them, and we are now dialoguing with their mother to move the inheritance process along.

They did an exemplary job of assisting us in locating the children.

Cliff had contacted me regarding a legal issue.  The estate of a deceased relative which I never knew existed.  The windfall of unexpected inheritance has given me the priceless gift of financial peace of mind, but more than that was an insight into my family’s medical histories.  I now know that cancer was not the primary illness that I was lead to believe.  Having been diagnosed and treated for lung cancer has been a constant companion over the years. Now I have hope that maybe I am free of this disease and will live many years.  Like I said before PRICELESS.  Cliff is amazing how he found all the missing pieces to my ancestry. I would fully recommend him.  He is professional but with compassion.  One of the best experiences of my life!

WOW, this one is interesting to say the least!

Our client will probably require certainty about the establishment of the heirship prior to agreeing to include them as interested parties…we have reviewed your chart, and everything makes sense. We agree that additional research is needed regarding…or his descendants. Also…obituary states that she was survived by 11 grandchildren, but it seems that there is not enough evidence of such 11 grandchildren. It is our client’s duty to resolve these issues.

Thanks for your assistance. Always a pleasure to work with you.

I’ve read through your entire website to refresh myself. I appreciate the content. I am so “over” these unauthorized heir search companies headhunting on my cases. It is just frustrating and wild to imagine the legality in all of it. I’m grateful for your ethical practices.

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate you taking time to explain.

As always, you and your staff produce the best product out there in the heir search world. You are my “go to” for any type of heir search. I appreciate all you do tremendously.

Jason M. Tarokh, Attorney

Your firm has provided incredible service…Thank you for all your hard work.  We had our hearing yesterday in Suffolk Probate Court and the Judge very much appreciated your update.  It was evident to the Judge your work has been very thorough and complete.

As the family tree is a central issue to this case, the Judge and case parties are requesting we expedite the remaining work.  I realize chasing down the half blood relatives is not a simply task nor a quick process.  The Judge wanted to see if there was anything we can do expedite this remaining piece and the associated cost for that?   The Judge certainly understands the difficulty with completing your research.  He just wanted me to convey the Court’s desire to wrap this up as soon as possible.

Thank you again.

Thank you very much for your professionalism and we will be certain to retain your services in the future.

Sincerely,

Thank you very much for all of your help. I will definitely keep your firm in mind if I ever need this type of assistance in the future. I do a lot of quiet title actions where I need to track down individuals in the chain of title of property, and I am sure your services would be handy in those instances as well.  I look forward to working with you in the future.

Dear Cliff, we’re very optimistic that our probate judge will approve all filings based on the newly found beneficiary thanks to the work done by you and your staff.

Cordially,

As always, thank you for your professionalism and prompt service and at a reasonable cost.  The next time I need this service, we won’t hesitate in retaining you again.  Thanks.

Best regards,

Thank you again for all the work you and your firm and associates have done for us. You all are great to work with.

Beverly Sue Ryan,
Public Administrator for Clay County

Thank you for all your assistance throughout the recent probate proceedings. You provided a great deal of personal inflection and time into the process of locating a lost heir of the estate. Your service and dedication were prompt, reliable and accurate. The professionalism of Von Langen, LLC and the supporting staff outshine those of other local and national firms who were asked for competing bids. I will refer your services to others and utilize you in the future as need arises.

Thank you again for all your time and effort.

Sincerely,
Webster B. Baker

Words alone cannot express the gratitude we have for your company in locating our family as the “Missing Heirs” to a cousin in Germany.  Thank you!

Jack & Theresa Bell

I am very surprised by the content of your findings for Mr. Barker as his family was extremely unordinary. However, you managed to find current information on his siblings.  I took the addresses for his siblings from your report and wrote them letters.  Two of his sisters have contacted this office and we have gone forward very successfully.  Thank you for your quick and accurate research. Nice job.

Respectfully Submitted,
Philip G. Decker, II

Cliff, I’d like to thank you and your team for the excellent work… In the future when we have trouble locating missing heirs, we will contact your organization first thing, rather than as a last resort.

David C. Mauz
Tolero Corp.

Once again, it was a pleasure working with you and I was very pleased with your firm’s ability to find heirs in cases like this where clues are few and far between.

Very truly yours,
George J. Pettrone

I appreciate everything you have done regarding this case and I apologize that things were so confusing and complicated for you and hope you have been, and feel you were, fairly compensated.  You certainly deserve it! I hope you find us some more money one of these years!  Thanks Cliff!

‘Chip’ Brant

Cliff, your work was superb.  Please close the file as the attorney was very satisfied with the information.  Many, many thanks to you and your team!

Marcian Cromwell, CTFA
Vice President & Senior Trust Administrator
Wells Fargo Wealth Management

Thank you very much for all the work you and your office did in locating all the heirs. And thank you for doing all the legal preparations so his estate could be disbursed. My brothers and sisters and I have now received our shares and we really appreciate it.

May you continue to bless more families for a long time.

With kind regards,
Rhonda Frank

I know that you probably did more work than the $500.00 invoice, and I appreciate your efforts and the information that you were able to provide. If I have need for an heir search in the future, I will be in contact.

Very truly yours,
Andrew M. Eggan
Washtenaw County Public Admin.
Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C.

I would like to take this opportunity to pass over my sincere thanks to you and your firm for your efficient work and excellent service once again.

You did an extraordinary job! I am positively stunned… That’s amazing! I have gotten very nice feedback on your calls to the Beneficiaries. They all commented on how nice you were, helpful and professional. Not one felt that it was a scam call. Thank you again and again!! This is such a monumental relief. I cannot begin to tell you how amazed I was and remain so.

Joan S. Kingsley

There is no question that this file required extraordinary work to satisfy the due diligence requirements in order to identify and locate the Decedent’s distributees who were initially unknown.  The foregoing shall constitute the Decision and Order of this Court.  Submit Decree.
Hon. Vincent W.Versaci, Surrogate
Surrogate’s Court, County of Schenectady, NY

Hi Cliff,

What you did was remarkable.  The attorney wants to let you know she is very impressed and we will definitely use your services in the future and recommend you to other trial and probate lawyers.

Thanks again.
Theresa Richards,
Paralegal
Gourley Law Group

You were of great assistance to us both in terms of efficiency and speed of service and courtesy in obtaining evidence of death of a particular person which evidence was needed to progress the distribution of an estate that we were handling. You were recommended to us in the first place by the United States Embassy and we are grateful to them for their introduction to you and would not hesitate to use your services again or to recommend you.

H. P. Levy & Co., London

I want to thank you and all for “tracking me down” in this remote location, and for your expeditious handling my inheritance. Your efforts on my behalf are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to add me to your reference list if you deem appropriate. Best wishes for continued success.

Respectfully,
Bill Massengill

I had hired an investigator to ascertain the dates of death and whereabouts of next of kin to Ms. Evans. After two months of diligent searching, he found nothing concrete… Within two days following our first conversation, I received a call indicating the possibility of success. It was indeed my long lost relative. I only wish I had found and used you sooner. Thank you for your integrity, resourcefulness and expeditious success.

Marilyn Green/Fisher
Personal Representative

Hey Cliff, Just a note to tell you that I am pleased and encouraged by the initial information you have given us on our cases. It looks like you are finding heirs that we might never find and you are doing it faster and with greater economy than me spending our limited and valuable staff time. So thanks, good start, have a great weekend, we look forward to working with you.

John J. Cahill
Clark County Public Administrator

Dear Mr. Von Langen, I want to write you to say that I received a check for $30,657.57. And my son has the desk that his great grandfather made. Thank you for your part in all of this.

Sincerely,
Sally Forziati

Thanks Cliff.  I like working with your company and have been for years.

Jason M. Tarokh, Attorney

You recently did some work for me on the Iglehart Estate.  Thanks for that — we had a hearing on it  last month and it worked out well.

Joseph W. Stuart, PLC

Dear Cliff, Based on the information contained within the report, we are satisfied that due diligence has been performed. Thank you for the timely and efficient work you have done. Your cooperation and assistance with the matter of locating heirs is greatly appreciated. There is no doubt that we will contact you in the future should we be in need of a genealogist.

Sincerely,
Tina Leonard
Legal Asst., The Parish Law Firm
