Meredith Ann Long

Meredith was the best thing that happened to me at one of the worst times in my life. My father passed away suddenly and it left me in a very difficult situation regarding his estate. It got ugly and complicated very quickly. We hire attorney's to help us legally, but just the very fact that you need an attorney for any reason, means you are going through a lot of stress in your life. Meredith is amazing. She doesn't let things fall through the cracks and she gets the job done. She is smart and very good at what she does. Which is why we hire attorney's right? But she is a very genuine person who cares about her clients on top of being excellent at her job. And that is what makes her great at her job. You never feel like a number and she will support you through the process every step of the way. I never want to hire an attorney again, but if I did, she would be my first choice.

I came to Meredith after meeting with 12 other attorneys and battling with the insurance company from a car accident in 2015 where I was injured. She not only removed the stress off my shoulders, but she was authentic. She explained every step of the process and was very level headed about the entire situation. She was able to calm the insurance adjuster, myself and all of my practitioners! She is the only reason I have my life back. I could never thank her enough. I truly felt like someone genuinely cared!

I ran a law firm for over 5 years. I have worked with many different lawyers. I wanted someone that was going to be honest, hard working, forthright with my case, and not lie to me. Not, only did Mrs. Long treat me and my case with respect. She is a hard working Lawyer. I was hit Feb 2, 2014, the day that Seattle Seahawks were going to the Super bowl. I was in Kelso, on Allen Street. Smack, hit head on. It was not my fault. I was hurt in the accident. I did not know the extent of injurie at the time. I had to go to the Hospital, MRI's, ER, I could not lift my left arm. For days after the head on, the insurance company would call me. All hours of the day and night. It got to the point I would turn off my phone. I would be harassed, many times a day from the person that hit me head on, insurance company. I had at one time, over 10 calls in one day. I was starting to get physically sick, loosing sleep, stressing, not being able to eat, from all of the phone calls from the insurance company. I was being harassed, by the medical facility to pay the bills. I was even told that if I did not pay the bills they would take me to court. I found Mrs. Long, from the yellow pages. From the day I called her, I felt at ease and knew that my case would be taken care of. She did her job. She took every phone call from the insurance. She fought for me. I have permeant damage on my left side. I am left handed. She fought for me 100% and kept an upbeat sportive attitude. When I was at my lowest, being hurt, not being able to hunt, fish, ride my quad, she was able to talk with me, listen to my tears not only over the phone, but in email and face to face. I had more injuries than we thought, physical therapist 5 days a week for over a year. Finally, one day when my armed swelled, and I was angry due to my pain, so they thought, my doctor at the U OF W medical Sports Medical department, decided to open my shoulder and take a look, they found that I was bleeding internally. I had a massive surgery and Mrs. Long made sure that all my bills were taken care of. I did not have to worry about anything, but go to physical therapy and get better. Mrs. Long was there not only there for my case, she cares about my physical process of healing as well as my mental state as well. Being told that I may never be able to fulfill my dream of finishing guide school and doing what I love. To teach life skills of hunting and fishing. This news crushed my world, mentally, physically and emotionally. Mrs. Long would talk about how I would get better soon, she said, " you will get better!" January 17, 2017. My case was finally settled. Mrs. Long, cut my pain and suffering check. I could not believe, what she did for me. She not only stood beside me, with my up's and low's, however, she fought for me. She made sure that my case was important, she was not there just for the money for herself. She made sure that I was okay, she worried about my physical and mental status throughout my case. I would have never made this type of recovery mentally or physically if it was not for the hard work of my Lawyer. I would have never made it, without her phone calls, or emails, or encouragement. I know that when I was told that I will have a permeant blind spot in my left eye that may never heal. I was scared, I called my Lawyer. She was there to take my phone call. She listen to my cry and scream and I am so thankful that she was there. She never, let me down. Even when I was at my low, she was sick, she still made sure I was okay. I am blessed, that I had an amazing Lawyer. She did 100% over and beyond what other Lawyers do. Mrs. Long did not think in dollar bills, she thinks with Humanity and passion. I hope I never have to use her again, but if I do, I know she will be there for me. Thank you, for the job well done. KB

My case first began with Meredith's father. Meredith took it over in March of 2015 and worked tirelessly on my case. She not only was professional, she was very well informed on all laws pertaining to my case. She treated me not just like a customer, but she treated me like she genuinely cared about me. She was persistent throughout a long drawn out case and I will forever be grateful to her. I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs!

We hired Ms. Long to replace an attorney who started the claim for us but did not complete it. So, Ms. Long was hired to come into the case when it was half way completed, come up to speed on the case quickly, and push it forward for us. She did so quite quickly and provided a higher level of competence. She brought a higher level of competence to the claim. However, most of all for us, she brought a much higher degree of communication and willingness to actually work WITH us rather than simply give us updates periodically as was the case with the initial attorney on this claim. Ms. Long was very good at explaining the legal details of our case to us and working with us to come up with the best strategy possible. She was instrumental in assuring we were fully aware of the risks of each decision made such that our decisions were made as fully informed clients. We understand this to be somewhat outside the norm in this county which was frustrating for us until we hired Ms. Long. I would highly recommend Ms. Long to anyone as she is ambitious enough to get the job done quickly and correctly and ethical enough to do so in a way that is in the best interest of the client.

We were very pleased with our experience with Meredith Long. We have never needed an attorney before. This was a very very stressful time for our family. An eviction judgement was brought against our son, in a home we owned, that we could have lost. After meeting and talking with Meredith we felt much more at ease and she explained everything in full detail, very professionally and to the point. Most of our connection was done by phone or e-mail. We felt very comfortable in asking ANY questions about the law and case, an she responded very quickly with all answers. Meredith is very to the point and is very easy to understand and talk with. This matter was resolved to our satisfaction and in short order. If we needed an attorney again, we definitely would call her and recommend her to our family and friends.

Meredith is a pleasure to work with. She puts her clients first and makes herself available to them. I had been putting off making a will for a long time. When I finally decided it was time, I called Meredith. She made the process very easy and was able to answer all my questions and put me at ease. Making a will is never an easy task, but with Meredith's help it was easy process.

We won a judgment in 2008 and it sat dormant until we contacted Meredith in 2015. We discussed the case in depth and she discovered there were attachable assets external to a bankruptcy filing. Meredith conducted extensive legal research and discovered a couple of cases relating to our situation which allowed us to prevail in the face of a second bankruptcy filing. Upon the debtors attorney discovering he could not prevent a foreclosure of some real estate he thought was protected under the bankruptcy code, he recommended to the debtor the case be settled. Meredith swiftly negotiated a large settlement. At all times through phone calls and face to face meetings, she was extremely pleasant to deal with and educated us in the complexities of the case so we clearly understood all critical points. I would highly recommend Meredith Long to anyone seeking legal counsel in her field of expertise.

Meredith helped us through some uneasy days and made the process very comfortable and efficient. Being named in a bankruptcy lawsuit, she was able to get us into a settlement without the case going to trial, saving us a ton of money and stress over the holidays. She was very responsive and was extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend her without reservation. Working with her was great!!

My company has retained Ms. Long for several important matters, and she has consistently provided a very high level of work to us. I have sat in on some of her examinations and arguments and she has always been calm, cool, and collected in the heat of battle. She is also able to explain to her clients in a down to earth and easy to understand way the often complicated legal principles at work. She is professional, reliable and responsive; I have never had to wait to hear back from her. She is pleasant to work with and takes a practical, cost effective approach to the issues we have presented her with. I can recommend her services to you with confidence.
