Eric Long outstanding

Eric Long is an outstanding attorney. Had the pleasure of working this past Fall and he knocked it out of the park. Very approachable, works thru all of the details, and professional with all of the details. Nothing is overlooked and I feel bad for those who sitting across the table from him on the o...ther end of the legal argument.

Defence of a Tort (Defamation) claim.

I consulted with, and hired Eric Long to defend a tort claim (defamation) filed against my son. Eric was patient and professional throughout the course of this claim. He was also kind which helps when you are going through huge anxiety attacks because of what appeared to me to be a hostile and unfou...nded claim. He settled the claim and closed the whole thing down in a very satisfactory manner.

Student

Eric Long assisted myself and two other students in a student affairs case with my university. Myself and two other close friends who attend the same university were accused of breaking a COVID-19 safety agreement. Eric was always within reach over the phone during the case and was always very quick ...to find answers for any questions we had. Eric put my mind at ease in a time when I was very frustrated and panicked. The work that Eric put in and the truth that he was able to find was very successful in dropping all accusations and allegations that were mounted against myself and other students in the eyes of the university officials conducting the investigation.

Client

I cannot say enough about how helpful Eric was as my criminal defense attorney. He was available within minutes every time I had a question or needed information. He walked me thru each process before it happened so that I felt comfortable and knew what to expect. His relationships in the community a...re unsurpassed. I recommend Eric and his firm to anyone who needs a defense attorney. Even the consultation I had with him before hiring him was genuine. His honesty throughout my entire process made me feel confident he would do everything he could to help me in my case. In the end my case was dismissed. Thank you Eric.

Exceptional service and communication

I wholeheartedly recommend Eric Long, and found his services to be exceptionally high quality, with clear and consistent communication about all legal proceedings and options. He compassionately and thoughtfully answered all my questions, made sure to keep me updated as the case progressed, and went ...above and beyond to ensure that the process was as comfortable and well-communicated as possible. He truly has his clients' best interests at heart, and I trust him entirely to provide top-notch quality legal counsel.
