    My wife and I worked with Long to draft our will and other estate planning documents. We never thought we had enough... assets that we needed a will, but we thought we should meet with an attorney anyway after our son was born. Long took the time to walk us through exactly what documents we might need and why. His help has given us peace of mind! I would recommend him to anyone who wants competent legal counsel who takes the time to give you personal service.read more

    When my father died without a will I did not know what to do; I needed some form of summary executorship of my father's... estate and I did not know where to begin. Until that point in my life I had never hired a lawyer; I was lost. Long was with me every step of the way, willing to answer every question I had in the most efficient and simplest way possible. This was a godsend, especially since my father passed in Florida and I live in New York! If you are looking take your first step when it comes to dealing with the lose of a loved one whom didn't have will Long will put you on stable ground - I 100% recommend him!read more

    Long is an amazing and compassionate attorney who helped me through the probate process after my father died... unexpectedly. He was extremely prompt in returning calls and emails and he answered all of my questions thoughtfully and professionally. I cannot imagine finding a better person to work with through all of this. I felt valued and understood through the process. Long absolutely went above and beyond all my expectations. I feel fortunate to have found him!read more

    I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Long on the phone yesterday. After searching online, and not finding answers to... my questions, I figured it was time to reach out to an attorney. I actually already have an attorney handling probate for me, but once they stopped returning my calls, I was concerned. Mr. Long answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease. I appreciate him lending his time to me, especially when others wanted to charge a fee.read more

    I had questions on probate for the state of Florida. I looked on line and saw Mr. Long's website which I found to be... very informative. I completed the short survey and submitted. Mr. Long responded immediately and set up a phone call for the same day. He took the time to fully understand my situation, conducted online research while we were on the phone (during free initial consult), and actually told me I did not need to probate he will (very honest). I was very impressed by Mr. Long's professionalism and compassion during this difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. Long.read more

    I went to see Long to update and review my outdated will and associated documents. After a careful review, he made a... number of suggestions for change that I thought were well founded and accepted. His final package was very nice, orderly and prepared for easy access by heirs when the day comes. I'd recommend him highly for efficient and affordable legal services for estate planning.read more

    I live in California and needed probate assistance in Florida. I reached out to LD Legal and Long got back to me very... quickly. I initially thought that I needed to go through the probate process for my father’s estate. Long provided excellent advice regarding the process and my options. It took some additional work on my part and some time to make decisions. Long was engaged, very patient and fair during my decision making process. I ultimately decided to not enter the probate process and did not need the services of LD Legal. Regardless, I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Long and LD Legal to anyone.read more

    Long is a fantastic lawyer and his support staff is top notch. He took the time to answer our many questions during a... difficult period. He made the complicated seem simple. He handled our probate, and did a wonderfully thorough job. Residing in NY, it was hard to trust someone in FL to handle our estate. He earned our trust and should have your trust too!read more

    Long is an exceptional lawyer. He really cares about how your experience is as a client. He not only worked on my... estate, and did a wonderfully thorough job, but he also helped me through additional legal issues that were not directly related to my estate planning. He consistently followed up regarding all outstanding issues or questions and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. I have and will continue to refer everyone I know to Long. He is stellar!read more

    Mr. Duong was very helpful when we needed to access our son's safe deposit box. He directed us to a statute that would... allow us to view the contents of the box without a lot of paperwork. This saved us both time and money, since it turns out the box was empty. He was a big help to us during a difficult time.read more

    After my mom passed I thought I had everything under control until I hit a roadblock with her Marriott timeshare in... Fort Lauderdale. After some searching I was put into contact with Long at LD Legal. It was like that first warm Spring day after a brutally cold winter. Long was able to walk me through the process. He was able to explain everyting I needed to do and why in terms I easily understood. He was upfront about the costs and the time it could take to complete the process. What was looking like a nightmare with probate in Florida and me in Delaware turned out to be easily accomplished. Highly recommend Long and LD Legal.read more

    Dealing with probate courts, and timeshares can be very daunting, especially when you are dealing with it in another... state, over 2000 miles away! After talking to numerous attorneys, I was totally confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed about what I needed to do, and for what reasons. Luckily for me, I came across Long at LD Legal LLC. Long has both the knowledge and the patience needed to explain everything to me in layman's terms, which gave me a much better understanding of the process I needed to go through and how to proceed with it. Throughout the process, Long was very courteous and professional, and he was always willing to explain or clarify any concerns I had. He consistently stayed in contact with me, keeping me informed of what was going on and what I needed to do. He was also very punctual at returning phone calls and emails, which is a high priority for me. If you are looking for an attorney that is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and easy to communicate with, all for what I consider a very reasonable fee, then I highly recommend Long at LD Legal.read more
