I don't usually write google reviews but I want to write this for other parents who may have been in my situation unsure of where to start with legal help. I spent hours reading through reviews and decided to follow up on advice from a family friend to meet with Taylor. I was so impressed by our initial consult and left feeling like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She is so knowledgeable in her field, very professional and I was blown away by her work ethic. I'm so glad I took the advice to meet with her and I hope I can pay it forward to any other parent who may be where I was combing through these reviews unsure of where to start. Schedule a consult with Taylor. She is so worth it!
I initially met Taylor in 2016 for legal council that concluded in 2017. Knowledgeable, empathic, and confident. Even after the conclusion, was readily available after for any additional questions that I had regardless of schedule. Transparency of schedule and when to expect a call. Thankful for the legal support!
I contacted Law Office of Taylor Long, LLC about a situation involving my child that was very time sensitive. Mrs. Long worked hard, smart and in an orderly fashion and resolved my case. I had more than enough time get my self prepared for the situation. I would reccommend this law office to anyone.
I hired Taylor Long to assist in setting up a QDRO to deal with an issue with my separation agreement because Taylor was recommended by my divorce attorney. My initial email was not answered for weeks which should have been a red flag. When the paralegal/secretary finally got in touch with me I was told that Taylor basically couldn't be bothered to answer emails. In fact, throughout the entire process I never communicated with Taylor even one single time. The only saving grace was the paralegal/secretary (I honestly don't know what her title was) who unfortunately is no longer with the firm. In the end it took almost 3 months to get my QDRO completed. However, the QDRO was basically useless due to federal law overriding the QDRO. You'd think a firm who specializes in QDRO's would have known that and advised me as such. Silver lining was that there was a single line in the QDRO that helped me out in the future. I saved about what I spent, so I guess there's that.
Taylor is reliable, she is responsive, she is empathetic and she is knowledgeable. Taylor will fight for you through and through. She is an asset to the community. Truly a legal gem
