Calm and Prepared

I was accused of violating a Title IX sexual harassment policy at a university in Ohio. I was found not responsible and this was all due to Eric. He was able to keep me calm through the entire terrifying process. More than that, he made sure that I was overprepared even when we did not need to prepar...e as much as we did. I appreciated this though because it made me know that we would be prepared during the hearing no matter what happened. He was willing to talk whenever I needed and was only matter of fact with the evidence that was presented both by my accusers and by me. He did a fantastic job and even created a binder that was broken up so that we knew what we needed to look at during the defense. Eric was calm and was willing to fight and ask the tough questions of the university and pushed me to ask the tough questions of my accusers. He created a line of questioning that helped to show the holes in the accuser's complaint. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I am so grateful for the time and effort that Eric put into my defense to make sure that I was cleared based on the evidence presented. He was honest, protective, and incredibly calming all at the same time. I would highly recommend him if you are in a tough spot.

Eric's a pro!

Eric is a professional through and through. I like meeting face to face with people to make sure they understand what I'm saying and vice versa. Eric was always easy to meet with and always straightforward. He was never dismissive and I felt that I was an active participant in my defense. What more c...ould you ask for?

Would highly recommend.

Eric Long is a great attorney. He's professional and affordable. He helped me get three charges dismissed. He was extremely knowledgeable and I am very happy with the outcome. I would definitely recommend.

"Ultimate Client Service"

Eric and his firm treat their clients with "Ultimate Client Service"! Eric has an extreme command of the law. But, also can explain legal issues to the non-legal person (client) with ease. He returns calls in an immediate basis...Even when he is in court with a heavy schedule. As do all of the... attorney's in his firm do. I will never forget how Eric drove over 100 miles to have me sign some legal documentation when I was feeling under the weather with an on going flu and the driving conditions were terrible with heavy snow. We were under a deadline and he made everything happen with this very kind effort. Not to mention the positive results in the case. Superb young attorney that get's results and advises in a legal manner that is easy for the average person to understand and calms all the anxiety down with his presence and rapport. "Ultimate Client Service"
