Whether you are going to trial because your case will not resolve during litigation, or you are on the losing side of a civil verdict/decision, you now need a lawyer who will really fight for you who has the will, experience and aggressiveness to strive for a successful final result.

California trial and appellate attorney Harrison Gavin Long focusses on handling serious civil cases for individuals and businesses before California state and federal trial and appellate courts.

Mr. Long has tried cases ranging from murder to medical malpractice, and successfully tried cases involving seven figures in state and federal courts representing plaintiffs and defendants.  He routinely accepts trial referrals/ assignments from litigation attorneys and individual and institutional party litigants.    

Mr. Long's appellate clients receive the added value of having in their corner not only a lawyer who has experience and achieved success in the appellate court arena, but also has the experience and reputation for being an aggressive civil trial lawyer. All appeals are taken from the judgements/orders made as a result of the litigation/trials that have transpired at the trial court level.    Therefore, parties seeking to appeal an adverse ruling/decision are better served by hiring a lawyer who has significant, hands on experience at both the trial and appellate court levels.

The lawyer's training, experience and academic background should also be considered by a client seeking to hire an appellate lawyer.

In addition to successfully trying a wide variety of civil trials and successfully prosecuting appeals, Mr. Long trained as a law clerk for one of the most successful trial attorneys ever in the country, Herbert Hafif.  He also has a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Southern California, and achieved the highest grades in his law school class in the study of torts and evidence, subjects which often predominate civil appellate cases.
