“I don’t leave reviews very often but I need to stop a minute to let you know about attorneys Long, Burnett, and Johnson in Mt. Juliet Tn. My husband and I experienced a situation where we were in need of an attorney. Not familiar with any in this area, they won the luck of the draw as I just pointed to one in the phone directory, THEY WIN! But to my good fortune they are the kindest team ever. As my husband is ill, and I was on my own this time, they kindly held my hand, gave detailed easy instructions for an old lady to understand, and are handling my case. Their staff is A1, they are knowledgeable, answer all of my silly questions patiently. I can not recommend a better team to work with in this area and am most grateful I found them.
-Mrs. E
“Highly recommend. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Mr. Long explained all our options to us and helped us decide which one best served our needs. He answered all our questions thoroughly. He didn’t push us to make any decisions and ultimately we felt comfortable with the decision we made..”
