This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Gave me very poor legal advice

Barbara Long didn't take my case and said I couldn't move forward with it. I found another firm that took my case. It turns out that the reason Mrs. Long said I couldn't move forward with my case was completely false. Mrs. Long also made assumptions about my situation that I believe were completely o...ut of line. I'm sure she has helped many other people, but for some reason she gave me extremely poor legal advice and came off as very insensitive. Luckily I didn't listen to anything she said. I hope she hasn't given incorrect legal advice to others who ended up listening to her and didn't move forward with their cases. Be careful when consulting with her.

Would absolutely recommend.

I hired Barb to represent me in a very sensitive case and she was exceptional every step of the way. Her communication was lightening-fast, her compassion was genuine, her legal expertise was obvious, and her strategies yielded incredible results. I truly cant thank Barb enough for advocating for me ...in such a significant way.

Compassionate, trauma-informed legal advice

Barb Long and her legal team are compassionate, informative, and thorough. Barb’s legal work focuses on assisting clients who have survived unfortunate, traumatic events. As a mental health counselor myself, I know that the detailing of traumatic events for the purpose of legal process can be intimid...ating and retraumatizing. When I needed legal assistance around an unnerving situation, I could not have been more grateful to have Barb in my corner. Barb’s approach is trauma-informed, sensitive, and empowering. Barb ensured the outcome of my case was fair and something I could live with. With the favorable outcome of my case, I’m now on my way to healing. Thank you so much for your services.

Professional, personalized support

Barb Long provided exemplary support throughout the entirety of my case. She maintained professionalism while providing personalized attention to the specifics of my case, and me as a person. I never felt like a "case," always like a person who mattered and who she understood and was there to support... with honest concern and integrity. Mrs. Long went above and beyond her duties representing me in an additional case by supporting and representing me to secure a lifetime Stalking Protection Order, simply because she cared. I hope that with every fiber of my being I never have to utilize the services of a personal injury lawyer again, but if I do, I will without question seek Mrs. Long's services and support.

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.
