Jason C. Long

Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I hired Jason Long to assist with a complex zoning variance for a property I was developing in Birmingham. His deep knowledge of land use law was immediately apparent, and his 26 years of experience, particularly in the local area, gave me confidence. He clearly understands the intricacies of municipal codes, which aligns with his recognition in Land Use and Zoning Law. The legal strategy he developed was sound, and we ultimately achieved the necessary approvals. However, the experience was somewhat mixed. While Jason is undoubtedly an expert, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to emails sometimes took several days, and it wasn't always easy to get a clear timeline for next steps. For straightforward legal matters, his competence is unquestionable, but if you require frequent updates or a highly responsive touch, you might find the process a bit frustrating. He handled the real estate aspects competently, but managing expectations on the client-service side could be more consistent. He's a solid attorney who knows his field, but the overall service delivery felt just adequate.
