HistoryI am attorney Long Adam S. I have added a special wrinkle to my criminal law practice during 25-plus years of service - lessons learned during my background as prosecutor that have marked my law firm's effective defense representation ever since. Before establishing my own law office in Springfield, I worked as a Sangamon County prosecutor and assistant state's attorney. My insight into how the prosecution works is incredibly valuable in defending clients. I know how government lawyers think. I can anticipate a prosecutor's strategies and counter with well-timed tactics of my own.SpecialtiesMy investigations of police procedures, negotiations with prosecutors and aggressive litigation have spelled the difference in many defendants' futures after arrests for: Drunk driving Driving with license revoked or suspended Drug crimes Theft offenses Violent crimes While I am proud of the positive reputation the firm has built in the community, I'm just as proud of the one-on-one personal service I've been able to extend to every client, throughout the legal process. I sympathize with families who are anxious about what's in store for relatives who have to stand trial. I make sure that every question is promptly answered and every concern fully addressed.
