Recommended over all attorneys in NWLA!

I was recommended to Kelly Long by a friend. Long has worked on my child custody case for several years. I originally had another attorney in town and was unsatisfied with their lack of commitment and concern for me as their client. I asked around town and heard many good compliments about Long's ...ability as a lawyer. After meeting with her, I immediately hired her for my case. Her experience and knowledge for the law gave me a sense of peace about my situation. She explains everything in detail and will repeat it if necessary to you as her client. She not only tells you the good, but will explain to you all the outcomes that may happen and is extremely thorough in her explanations of what may or may not occur. She goes in depth in explaining to you the details of the case so that you completely understand everything that is involved. Long has kept me informed throughout my entire case (it has been going on for years) and still isn't completely finished so I feel I have a reliable opinion of her. She is dedicated, honest, and knows the law. I trust her and her ability to do what is best for me and all her clients. I have recommended her many times to different people with them having positive things to say about her. Long is down to earth and can talk to all kinds of people from different backgrounds. The most important thing I can say about Long is that she cares (hard to find these days). She is an excellent attorney but most important she is an excellent human being and will give you her very best! Her professionalism and knowledge in the courtroom will sure to impress you. I would strongly recommend Kelly Long and will plan to use her again for my property settlement and anything else I may need in the future. She is a very busy woman, but will make you feel like you are her most important case. I can't say enough...You will be impressed!

Kelly Long is an outstanding attorney!

Kelly Long is a very dedicated, hardworking and knowledgeable attorney. This was my first experience at having to hire an attorney and she came highly recommended to me. From our very first meeting, she and her amazing legal assistant Brittany went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She... made herself readily available to me as new things would come up with my case, many times after normal working hours. Kelly Long has a fiery personality and she is not afraid to go up against anyone! I was completely pleased with the entire process and the overall outcome. I highly recommend Kelly Long to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Custody Case

Kelly and her staff were very welcoming and helpful with regards to my case. Going through a custody battle is never easy, but with Kelly's guidance and thorough explanation of all the steps we were to go through, it made me feel much more at ease. I feel she really fought for me and my child and rep...resented me in a very professional manner. Her assistants are every bit as helpful as she was. I loved the fact there was always someone available to answer questions and didn't hesitate to get back with me in a timely manner if they weren't readily available. I recommend her to everyone in need of quality representation.

Custody Battle

Ms. Long helped me with a custody battle for my granddaughter. I had another lawyer prior to finding Ms. Long that had not been very helpful, and had charged me a small fortune. After the first meeting with Ms. Long I finally felt that something was going to happen. Ms. Long is straight forward an...d will tell you what she can or cannot do and this is one of the things I really respect about her. With my case she made me feel like she really cared about what was happening, and she proofed it by fighting for what was best for my granddaughter. I highly recommend Ms. Long. She also has a great staff that takes your calls and gets answers for you in a timely manner. She also has an excellent paralegal, (Britney). In summary she is an excellent lawyer that cares about what happens to her clients.

They always made me feel like I was a top priority and if she couldn't return my call she followed up with email correspondence. If your looking for someo...ne that's not scared to take on the tough cases then Kelly and her staff is the team you want

Friendly, yet no-nonsense, and downright icy if need be, she has all the necessary personality tools and a commanding grasp of the law and its developments to instill confidence and ease in her clients. A top grade attorney. I fully endorse this lawyer."
