Matt Long

Firm: Bowen Ten Long & Bal
3957 Westerre Parkway , Richmond , Virginia 23233
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Family, Personal Injury, Traffic Violations
As an attorney, I am passionate about two things: solving problems and delivering results. I take pride in doing both with integrity, tenacity, and an unflagging commitment to my core guiding principles. My principles include always doing what I say I am going to do, upholding high ethical standards, and prioritizing personal communication with my clients so they are always informed.. I know first-hand what it's like to have your life turned upside-down by a car accident. I lived through the same experience as my injury clients when my own wife was in a devastating car accident, resulting in back surgery, a long hospital recovery, and rehabilitation that took almost two years. Her physical injuries healed, but our lives were forever changed. This personal experience and genuine empathy give me a unique perspective when representing injury clients. My priority is always to ease the burden of healing and help clients get their lives back as much as possible. I take on what could be emotionally charged interactions with insurance adjusters, so my clients don't have to re-live the details of their upsetting experience. This empowers my clients to focus on their own healing or caring for their loved one, and work on getting back to their job, their business, their family, and their life.. Many personal injury lawyers claim they fight for their clients in court. I also fight for my clients before we ever get to court, and I fight harder than most. If I do my job well, I will never have to put my clients through a trial. I leverage my knowledge, experience, and expertise earned over many years of successful representation to get the best outcomes for client's pre-litigation. I use cutting edge technology, advanced AI, and the same negotiation tactics used by the FBI in order to get the insurance companies to value the case for the "true" amount a jury would return, rather than the "typical" insurance offer. My propriety system is unique and has resulted in many cases resolving for liability limits very soon after being hired.. I also use my system with my other areas of practice, including general civil litigation, business litigation, and partition suits. My clients know me for my approachable and easygoing manner, my responsiveness, and my diligence. In the legal community and among my clients I've earned a reputation as a tough-but-fair professional who takes charge, is always at-the-ready to go the distance for my clients, and is willing to take on a complicated challenge others have turned down.. In my spare time I am a Points & Miles enthusiast who coaches people from all different backgrounds on how to travel the world for free.

Practice Areas: Automobile Accidents, Criminal Defense, DUI/DWI, Family, Probate, Wills
I am a seasoned trial attorney who has been providing legal advice throughout Roanoke County, Roanoke City, the City of Salem, Franklin County, Bedford County, Botetourt County and courts throughout Southwest Virginia for more than a decade. But, I have been protecting citizen’s rights for even longer.. Prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney, I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and earned the rank of Sergeant with the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington D.C. Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Roanoke City before finally becoming a criminal defense attorney in the greater Roanoke area, where I tried cases in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts, General District Courts, and Circuit Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia.. My unique background and training have provided me with invaluable insight and an uncommon ability to resolve serious legal problems for all of my clients. Since I have been both a police officer and prosecutor, I have courtroom credibility and trial experience that few can match. Having served on both sides of the courtroom and as a witness as a police officer, the only seat I have left to fill is that of Judge.. Since becoming a criminal defense attorney, I have represented countless clients accused of committing criminal offenses. I appear regularly in the United States federal courts in southwest Virginia and had a case granted certiorari by the United States Supreme Court. I currently serve on the Board of Governors for the Criminal Law Section of the Virginia State Bar, and as President of the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.. My approach to law, in general, is informed by my unique life experience and training. I am often able to use this to guide clients to achieve solutions to problems that seem irreconcilable at the outset of the case. As a former police officer, Sergeant and Internal Affairs Agent, I know how to investigate and find evidence to substantiate your claim and help create reasonable doubt in criminal cases.. During my nearly twelve years with the Metropolitan Police Department, I received numerous honors and awards, including being recognized and awarded as a “Top Cop” by the National Association of Police Organizations for my investigative work. I continue to apply my strong investigative skills and reasoning to my cases to find factual support for the client’s case.. Given all these accomplishments, I am most proud of my beautiful wife and three children. I enjoy spending time with them and going to their activities, as well as hunting, fishing, shooting firearms, camping, and most all outdoor activities.

I am an experienced criminal defense attorney, member of the Virginia State Bar for 25 years, and a life-long Virginian.  I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and my law degree from the College of William and Mary Marshall Wythe School of Law.  After law school, I joined the Public Defender's Office in Fairfax County, where I was immersed in all facets of criminal defense and gained invaluable jury trial experience in all types of cases, from assault and battery to homicide and rape. I was the Deputy Public Defender until 2005 when I joined 3 former Public Defender colleagues at Lopez, Meleen and Sprano in Fairfax County. My practice has been based in Prince William County since 2017 when I joined Farrell and Croft, I have handled thousands of criminal cases in the courts of Northern Virginia, focusing on the counties of Prince William,  Fauquier and large part of my practice has always centered on juvenile law.  I represent children and teenagers charged with all types of offenses in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, including juveniles charged with violent crimes with potential certification to Circuit Court. I am a former member of the Board of Directors of NAMI (NAtional Alliance on Mental Illness) NoVa.  I have a special interest in mental illness and addiction. I bring a trauma-informed approach to helping my clients and their families navigate their experience with the criminal justice system.  I am proud to announce that in March 2025 I launched Morrison Brown PLC with my colleague and friend Matthew Morrison.  Together we have a combined 35 years of experience and we look forward to continuing to provide those charged with crimes in the courts of Northern Virginia with the best possible representation.

I am a first generation Greek American born and raised in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area.  Although I work as a criminal defense attorney in Virginia , I am a Maryland girl at heart. I am a proud graduate of the University of Maryland in College Park, as well as Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach, Virginia.. I am honored to work for two of the very best lawyers in Virginia, and am passionate about my job.  I happily spend hours in the office with my hard-working colleagues, fighting for our clients.  Outside the office, I'm dedicated to my family, friends, and life as a crossfit coach.  I am no stranger to competition, and giving 100% in everything I do.. Mission Statement: Through my personal experience in court, as well as through observation of some of the best attorneys in Northern Virginia, I have learned two keys to success: uncompromised preparation and compassion. These qualities enable me to fight vigorously for those who feel defenseless, while providing a voice of comfort and reason to those who feel threatened by the judicial system. It is my personal goal to leave every client in a better place than where I found them.
