Outstanding Work

I had a case involving an incorrect determination of fraud from the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services. The case also involved overpayment of unemployment benefits. Eric Long was outstanding in handling my appeal process and the subsequent telephone hearing that was held. He was both eloquen...t and well prepared for the proceedings, and ultimately achieved a favorable result for my case. I was very impressed with his work and always felt like my case was in good hands. I would highly recommend his services.

Eric Long is the Best!

Eric Long is a highly professional attorney who walked me through a year-long process, reassuring me every step of the way. I knew Eric Long was the right attorney for me the moment I met him, and I appreciated him keeping me informed about every little step that needed to be handled to move my ...case forward to an absolute success.

Professional, thoughtful, and experienced

I met Eric Long and Ian Friedman when I was facing a bogus Interference with Custody charge placed by my ex-wife and the city of Middleburg Heights prosecutor who didn't investigate the false claims from the very beginning. Ian and Eric quickly replied to the charges and were their for me when I ne...eded them along the entire process. They were professional, reasonable, and at the end of the day, they did their homework and not only showed that the statements were false, but showed that the plaintiff was doing the same as she was alleging. The case was dismissed at the state's cost. Eric represented me through the end and had the case sealed. Thanks Eric, Ian, and the entire team. What you do is important and protects people like me that are being wrongly accused. Nice job!!

Review for Eric Long

Last month I was charged with criminal charges involving a minor on top of that I was facing a restraining order. To make a long story short this is not the first time I have used a lawyer before but I have to say Eric Long is by far the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Not only did Eric know ever...ything there is to know about the laws involving my case, he was also able to get the charges dropped and get the restraining order thrown out. I was and I’m still extremely pleased with Eric’s professionalism and how we worked with me every step of the way. I spoke to about six lawyers before deciding on Eric Long and I have to say I’m beyond glade I choose him to represent me. Without Eric, I’m afraid the outcome would have been very different and my career would have most likely been destroyed. I highly recommend Eric to anybody who could use a top notch lawyer because that is exactly what you will get.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
