Derek Long

I have worked with Derek on a number of litigated matters. His attention to detail and knowledge of the applicable legal standards is above reproach. He is conscientious of the client's needs and desires while focusing on the legal tasks within the claim that need attention. He recognizes the impo...rtance of timely resolution of matters but is undaunted by trial.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
