Professional dependable lawyer

I hired David Long to represent me in traffic court. I found his name online and filled out information for some free advice. He responded within a day and called me. We discussed my violation and he offered to represent me but was not pushy. He did not in any way make me feel I had to have lawyer. ... I could have been fined $250.00 to $2500.00 and been charged with a misdemeanor for my violation for failing to yield to a stationary emergency vehicle with the lights on. I researched him online and felt very comfortable hiring him to represent me. He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call anytime for his help. He returned my calls and emails promptly and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable that he would be in court with me and would provide a defense in my best interest. I would highly recommend the services of David Long.

Extremely Honsest Lawyer and Detailed

David was an awesome lawyer! I called around for different lawyers before choosing one. What was different about David compared to other lawyer was he took the time to not only get the facts of the issue that I had with my speeding ticket, but he asked character information that could be used to help... my case. All other lawyers just seemed to want your money and was only willing to do the typical work, where David wanted to know many things about you to really help you. This being said. I'll be sure to contact him in the invent that I may need him. He was honest about what he thought would happen. He responded to my emails within a few hours. He took the time to talk to me over the phone to explain whatever I needed. And he kept me informed about everything with the case. This is who you want on your team. He is a quality lawyer. He wasn't even recommended to me or anything so there would be no reason for me to be biased.

Traffic Infraction Handled with Care

Mr. Long was very helpful throughout the entire process, despite numerous setbacks and extensions. He was always quick to communicate with me and had a complete knowledge of every aspect of the process. Highly recommended.

Waste of Money

I paid 1,000 for Mr. Long's help regarding a reckless driving ticket. I still got points on my driving record, my license suspended, a hefty fine, and even had to sit in a cell for four hours. He threatened me with ten days of jail time. It was a speeding ticket on a highway. No one was injured. I... sat through plenty of cases before me going just as fast and I feel like I spent 1,000 dollars and did not get my money's worth at all. He threatened ten days of jail so hard and so much that my whole family was worried sick.

I'm sorry that you believe you did not get your moneys worth from my representation. I understand your frustration that the judge decided to hold you in the back for four hours. Every judge has a cut off point where they start giving jail time on high speed cases. Most judges give jail time when the speed reaches 100 mph, and for some judges the limit is 95 or even 90 mph. Fortunately no-one was injured in your case, but these judges see many high speed cases which result in injury and even death, so they view driving at very high speeds as reckless and dangerous behavior. However, even in very high speed cases, we can mitigate the amount of jail time through driving school, community service hours, a clean driving record, and other evidence that we provide to the court at sentencing. I'm sorry that in this case we were not able to achieve a satisfactory result. Lastly, I apologize that I came across as threatening. I presume that your speed was such that either I thought that the general district court judge may give you ten days, or that an appeal of the general district courts decision could result in a ten day sentence in the circuit court. Either way, my intent was to provide information, not to threaten. I'm sorry that I caused you and your family to worry. Please contact my office if you would like to discuss this case further, or how I could have served you better. Sincerely, David Long
