Mr. Long won my divorce case and appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court to get justice. Without him as an advocate I might not be able to see my kids. Highly recommend him - he’s not inexpensive but he’s a bulldog in the courtroom.
Mr. Long defended My Company in an employment dispute. He was very knowledgeable in his defense of the allegations, and very professional. He made the Plaintiff's Counsel look like a grammar school child. Very impressive,as this was my first ever court appearance. I am very thankful to have him as my counsel and highly recommend him.

John R.B. "Jack" Long was able to win my case through diligent work and full knowledge of case law. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for my children. His fees are reasonable, and he won't nickel-and-dime his clients for making photocopies and the like. I highly recommend Jack Long for legal services.
John ("Jack") R.B. Long took my very complicated custody case from 2500 miles away after two other separate law firms in Augusta had received thousands from me in "fees" and had done nothing, thus jeopardizing my case. Through diligent work and thorough legal knowledge, and along with his wonderful secretary, Mattie, Jack has since won my case in the Georgia Court of Appeals. I highly recommend this firm.
Jack had all the answers to questions before I even asked them. His knowledge regarding law is amazing!! Through the entire legal process he made me feel very comfortable. I truly feel he is an asset to the Judicial System. I am very thankful that he took my case and I had no doubt he was the best!!!

Mr. Long was professional, responsive, attentive and brilliant in representing me in my divorce and child custody cases. We won the child custody case and I owe it all to him. The merits of the case decided the outcome, but Mr. Long's ability to adapt to events in the courtroom, as well as his closing argument were instrumental in the judges decision to award me primary custody.
Mr. Long. has always been there for us. Help us with a sub-contractor took us for allot of money. Without Mr. Long legal help. I do not know where we would be. You can tell he really cares.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
