When you need a firefighter because you’re a dumpster fire.

Jessica helped me win at an impossible divorce situation. There was no easy way out of my divorce. She gave me plenty of reality checks and was available for me especially when I was ready to give up. She fought hard for my daughter and taught me how to do the same. Her passion and talent is unmatch...ed. You want her in your corner when you done messed up.

Parenting plan revised

I was wanting to spend more time with my children so a new parenting plan was needed. My first attorney talked a good game but was unable to back it up. I hired Jessica Long as my second attorney for my case during the year long ordeal. I fully wish I had hired her first. Ms. Long worked diligently ...with the opposing counsel and I feel like I was able to achieve my goal only by obtaining her as my Attorney. She was able to get me more time with my children; more than I would have received if I had stuck with the first attorney. Attonery Long was very informative throughout the two months she represented me. I always felt comfortable after speak with her; she gave great advice and kept me grounded. Attorney Long was honest with me throughout and I really appreciated that. I would recommend her services and definitely use her again if needed.

Great lawyer

My ex had a very expensive well known local attorney that other local attorneys seemed afraid of his attorney kept getting continuance after continuance my case had hit a brick wall less than a month after Jessica took our case we had a court date and could finally get the ball rolling she was not af...raid to stand up to his attorney and I was highly impressed with her knowledge of the juvenile law system if you have a case centered around your children she is the one to have in your corner believe me you don't want her on the other side of the courtroom I know his attorney didn't she worked long hard and diligently for me answered all my questions honestly and most of all she cared which if you know attorneys is extremely rare to have a total package of fair honest knowledgeable and caring Jessica Long comes highly recommend from me

Superb Representation!! Wish I could add another star!!

After 2 years of being misrepresented by my former Lawyer in a high-conflict divorce & custody case I interviewed multiple Lawyers over the phone several times. I live in Maryland but my case was in Georgia. In 2012 I was granted a year protection order and custody of my 2 kids and was able to move b...ack to my hometown in Maryland with Georgia having jurisdiction. My former lawyer never filed for child support for me and did not tell me of hearings that I later found out I was deemed unresponsive. My 2 children went for summer visitation with there father in July 2014 and without a hearing my husband was given temporary custody of our son. The first time I talked to Jessica I knew she was god sent. She immediately worked on my case. She promptly returned phone calls and emails and if she told me she would have something done within a certain time period she did. She genuinely cares about the well being of your children and fights diligently for you. In July of 2015 at my final hearing I was granted primary custody of both children, child support and half of medical expenses for the children, which in the 3 years I was separated I had received nothing. I can not emphasize enough how wonderful she is. If you are searching for a caring, compassionate yet fierce and effective Lawyer look no further she definitely is the one for you!
