I am a solo attorney who is dedicated to providing competent, diligent representation to clients in need of legal assistance. I focus on working closely with clients to ensure that custom-tailored representation is offered to suit each client's individual needs.
I am willing and able to handle cases in many different Georgia counties, but focus on North Georgia including Cherokee, Cobb, and Forsyth.
I am certified as a Child Welfare Law Specialist by the National Association of Counsel for Children and am also a registered mediator in the areas of General Civil, Domestic Relations, and Domestic Violence with the Georgia Office of Dispute Reolution.
When not providing legal representation to my clients, I love spending time with my family, friends, and dogs as well as golfing, photography, and traveling.
Practice areas
I am qualified to serve as a Guardian ad Litem and am on both the appointed juvenile delinquency and deprivation lists in Cherokee County. I have also handled juvenile related cases in other counties in Georgia as well.
The firm primarily focuses on family law issues including divorce, child custody, child support, modification, contempt, legitimation, paternity, and DFCS related cases.

Attorney Long is a superb practitioner and has a keen understanding family law, criminal defense and juvenile matters. I refer cases to her in the Northern Metro area on a regular basis. You can't go wrong with Jessica!
I endorse Jessica. She definitely knows family law and everything it entails. Jessica has assisted me on numerous occasions and her advice never falls short of the right route.

You cannot ask for a better lawyer...someone who cares and will advocate for your interests! I have had the opportunity to work with Jessica personally in court and she knows her way around a courtroom like a seasoned attorney. Very professional, yet always approachable. She promptly returns phone calls and keeps her clients informed at all times. I would highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica for several months earlier this year. I cannot say enough good things about her. Her knowledge of the law, work ethic, and intelligence are all second to none! She has an extremely outgoing and friendly personality, which are highly underrated qualities in the legal field. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone seeking the most effective representation money can buy!
