Barb Long provided exemplary support throughout the entirety of my case. She maintained professionalism while providing personalized attention to the specifics of my case, and me as a person. I never felt like a "case," always like a person who mattered and who she understood and was there to support with honest concern and integrity. Mrs. Long went above and beyond her duties representing me in an additional case by supporting and representing me to secure a lifetime Stalking Protection Order, simply because she cared. I hope that with every fiber of my being I never have to utilize the services of a personal injury lawyer again, but if I do, I will without question seek Mrs. Long's services and support.

Mrs. Long was very attentive to my needs and knew without question what was necessary to have a positive outcome. She made feel safe and secure and did not leave me with any doubt. It would be my recommendation that if you have any legal issues that are in the scope of her field, please take my advice she's your person.

Barb was everything I needed and so much more. She made one of the hardest, most emotional and anxiety provoking experiences so much easier. She was consistent with communication, and I never felt that I was in the dark. She kept me frequently updated with the ongoing process and always provided comfort and encouragement. Barb fought for me with no hesitation and made my feelings heard and validated. She won my case and I had no doubt she would from the beginning. This woman is truly extraordinary and she is excellent in everything she does. A miracle worker.

Barb handled my case with care and a great level of competence that allowed me to feel strong during an otherwise difficult time. Had it not been for her sensitivity and compassion I would not have been as confident as I needed to be during my deposition. Barb did a wonderful job involving me when needed and not exposing me to unnecessary stress. I always knew she had my best interests at heart and I trusted her completely. It was her confidence in me that allowed me to be confident in myself, and for that I am immensely grateful.

After a difficult, painful event, searching for a lawyer who would meet our needs felt impossible. We’d met with a lawyer who seemed to care very little about us personally so I didn’t have much faith in the process. Thankfully Barb was referred to us by a trusted friend. We knew immediately that she was right for us. She was compassionate yet firm, diplomatic, professional, and stayed in constant contact with us over the course of our case. In all honesty the events that lead to our case, during and after were some of the most difficult times of our lives. I was more than grateful to have Barb and her team supporting us. None of this was easy but I truly felt that she and her team sincerely cared about us and held our best interest at heart. There was never a time that I didn’t feel I couldn’t call, email or text Barb. She was always available, always quick to reply. Nobody wants to be in the situation we were in but if you are, you want Barb to be by your side.

A child sex abuse lawsuit brought against one's hometown church requires a high degree of skill and care. Barb listened to the sensitive subject matter and found the best way to present the case, ultimately delivering a verdict at trial, which was in excess of the Oregon state damages cap; the jury saw fit to award $800,000 in noneconomic damages. Retaining Barb to represent me is one of the smartest things I have ever done. She worked tirelessly, and we got the best possible outcome. Listen to what this woman tells you.

Barb was truly amazing, and was the perfect person to represent us. Our case was delicate, and deeply emotional. I felt confident in Barb’s abilities, and in the end, she was implemental in making our case successful in winning our settlement, so that we could move forward and try and put the past behind us. She really took our case to heart. She is genuinely patient, kind, compassionate, and truly cares about families and children. Her sensitivity combined with expert skill and firm assertive tactics, she held the opposing party accountable, kept us well informed and helped us with baby steps throughout the whole entire process as she stayed one step ahead of the opposing party, and stood ground as an anchor for our rights. She is easy to work with and genuinely caring. As she took on our case, I could feel and see the depth of how she took it into a more personal dimension. I never felt like just a client, she is very personable, comforting and has a great personality. I wholeheartedly trusted her and knew she was doing her very best for us, and we were never in the dark. She took into considerations all of the details of the case, and I felt heard and understood by her. She especially made sure my child was safe throughout the whole process, which was the most important to me as a mother. With her guidance, she kept us feeling as safe as we could feel during the deposition, and did everything she could to keep my young child from being deposed. I highly suggest Barb Long as an exceptional lawyer to represent you, and will recommend her to any friend who could need her services in the future. Lisa

Barbara Long ​conveyed the utmost professionalism, a genuine sense of compassion, and an inspiring work ethic that mirrored her experience and knowledge. We felt like we were in the safest, most knowledgeable hands, even amidst a sensitive situation. She recruited amazing experts and efficiently handled the paperwork and administrative side of things so well. I feel like we not only met an attorney that is the best in her field, but also met one of the finest human beings along the way. It was an incredible pleasure working with her, learning from her own expertise, and having her advocate at every step along the way for us.
