The government has the power to remove one’s children, property, liberty and life. Anyone who has been charged with a crime deserves zealous, intelligent, honest, thorough representation.
Ms. Long is uniquely experienced to guide her clients through the criminal process as she has experienced the practice of law as a prosecutor and a defense attorney.
As a Tillamook County Deputy District Attorney, she prosecuted criminal cases ranging from minor misdemeanor offenses to major, complicated felony matters, including homicides. While at the District Attorney’s office she received specialized training in trial presentation and cross-examination at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina.
