S.S. Long......An remarkable human

So.... here is the thing that probably matters the most to you who are likely going through the most painful chapter of your lives, other than death. Seriously. Susan S. Long is your best friend. Not only is she the finest and most efficient attorney or lawyer you've ever invited into your life, more... importantly, (and if you have a soul), she also happens to be one of those rare of rarest evolved individuals that you might expect or hope to ever meet in business or in life..... In short, she is fabulous....It was my privilege to be associated with Ms. Long and I believe you will feel the same as well.......She is brilliant.

Great lawyer

I hired Ms. Long to handle my bankruptcy case. I highly recommend. She made me feel comfortable, explained the process, and was there every step of the way. She made a bad situation very easy to deal with. 5 stars al the way.

Outstanding Attorney

I was referred to Susan a few months ago from one of my other attorneys. From the minute I contacted her she was outstanding! She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Every time I contacted her she responded immediately. I felt very confident that my issue would be resolved in a timely fashion.... If you’re looking for an attorney who is top notch Susan is the one for you!

EXCELLENT BANKRUPTCY LAWYER! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

Susan was helpful, understanding, down to earth, accommodating, efficient, knowledgable and a very talented attorney. She explained everything clearly and guided me throughout the entire bankruptcy process. I am forever grateful for her help and for making this process as seamless as possible. I w...as a nervous wreck and extremely distraught over this; however, she showed me the light at the end of the tunnel. The hearing was quick and painless, and this whole situation wouldn't have been as successful without her! Hire her, you won't regret it! Eternally grateful! Thanks again!

Chapter 7 Client

I came to Susan when medical and credit card bills became overwhelming. She was kind, understanding, very knowledgable and always a phone call away to help me through the process. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help me on my new start. Thank you Susan.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
