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.

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.

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.

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.
