Review Chelsea Long

Outstanding Experience

It was a very difficult decision for me both emotionally and financially whether or not to pursue a divorce. The fear of not knowing what to expect in the process was put to rest when I met Chelsea. She is genuine and truly caring. She goes above and beyond of what one would want from their attorney. My divorce outcome was very positive. If you want an attorney who is looking out for your best interest then I would highly recommend Chelsea Long.

Incredible attorney. Chelsea was such a breath of fresh air while going through my divorce. She was so precise and clear, never leaving me in the dark. I was very impressed by her responsiveness and how fast she would get things done. Chelsea is very knowledgable and would consistently put me at ease. She has a great personality to match. Hiring Chelsea was by far one of the best and smartest decisions I made going through the divorce process. Couldn't be happier.

Chelsea was my attorney on my divorce case. She was knowledgeable, confident and above all, she was there for me. I couldn't ask for a better attorney. She made a hard process so easy for me.

I admire Chelsea's passion and work ethic in her domestic practice. She truly cares for her clients and fights for them. I think it is important for anyone facing a domestic issue to retain an attorney that specializes in that area because it is so complex - and that is Chelsea.

Mark Weiker, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 18, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Chelsea has become a leader in Columbus in the area of domestic law and divorce, and she is the person we call if we need direction in this area. I have no hesitation recommending her to clients.

Lee Thompson, Family Attorney on Feb 17, 2015
Relationship: Other

I've been reviewing answers by Ms. Long on this site and in the areas of domestic relations, I have absolutely no problem endorsing her as an attorney in the area of custody, divorce and related areas. The one thing I find refreshing is in her answers, she doesn't just suggest to see an attorney like so many do here. Chelsea actually gives an answer to a question which should point the asker in the right direction.
