John E. Long Jr.

I have been in practice since 1965 specializing in family law related matters exclusively since 1977. What I think most distinguishes our firm from our colleagues is that we practice divorce law clinically/humanistically. The clinical part is easy to understand and that would involve resolving all the property and liability distributions, the issue of alimony, the issue of a parenting plan, child support and finally some collateral issues such as life insurance, medical insurance and other forms of collateral to secure the awards received by our client or the opposing spouse. I do not have a male or female preference in the clients, rather I accept those clients who are primarily interested in restoring their sense of self worth through the process of divorce so that when all is said and done the client's dignity is restored to the level he or she wants it. That, by the way, is the humanistic approach that we adopt in the dealing with our clients. In conclusion, please do not interpret our desire to practice in this fashion as a weakness. That would be a tactical mistake. Awards and Honors Honors Lion of the Law Award for Professionalism Other Sources of Feedback About John E.
