Client Reviews
“We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn.”
We found ourselves in a situation where we needed a criminal defense attorney. We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn. A friend’s lawyer recommended Mark Longwell.
My husband called and left a message on Sat., Dec. 27. Mark himself returned the call within an hour. We hired them and they went right to work on my case.
There was an urgency as we were booked on a cruise 1/10 and I was told I could not leave the state of Florida. Our son was getting married on the ship and I didn’t know if I would be able to be there.
They made motions to allow me to leave the state and also to dismiss the case. Everything was running behind because of the holidays.
The morning of Jan. 6, Andrew called to tell me that my case was dismissed! I was never so happy or greatful in my life. A little later Mark called as well. They really went to work for me and I would recommend them to anyone.

“they are all very knowledgeable and have good communication and are great at their jobs.”
Had a great experience, they are all very knowledgeable and have good communication and are great at their jobs. Andrew was my lawyer and within a month my charges were dropped I never even had to go to court which is a relief. I can’t thank the team of Longwell lawyers enough. Might be costly but these guys are good at what they do

“A well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We won !”
I had the privilege of working with Attorney Mark Longwell and Attorney Elizabeth DiTomasso, and I could not be more impressed with the quality of their representation. From start to finish, they were professional, extremely sharp, and deeply knowledgeable about the law. What stood out the most was not just their expertise, but also the genuine care and compassion they showed throughout the process. This case was a domestic injunction as I was the respondent.Both Mark and Elizabeth took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate challenges gave me complete confidence that I was in the best possible hands.It is rare to find attorneys who combine such a high level of skill with true dedication to their clients. Because of the outstanding experience I had, I can say with full confidence that I will use their services every single time in the future.If you are looking for attorneys who are not only talented and knowledgeable but also truly care about their clients’ outcomes, Mark Longwell and Elizabeth DiTomasso are the ones you want by your side. A well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We won !

“If you need the best help for you and for your family, this is your guy.”
There are a lot of attorneys to choose from when you need help. What drew me in originally was the great reviews of Mark and his team. At first I was a bit nervous if I made the right decision because there are so many attorneys out there that all say the same thing, that they’re the best. I had the opportunity to see Mark in practice today and i can tell you now, he is the REAL DEAL. If you need the best help for you and for your family, this is your guy. He doesn’t miss.

“Attorney Ben Jones is Awesome and has been such a Blessing to our family!”
Attorney Ben Jones is Awesome and has been such a Blessing to our family! He has never failed any requests or concerns and gets the job done in a respectful and professional manner always. I appreciate his genuine kind being!

“Attorney Benjamin Jones handled my case flawlessly.”
Attorney Benjamin Jones handled my case flawlessly. My case had been dropped by another attorney and even though our case was strong, he knew from the beginning that it was not going to be an easy one. He still took the case. The prosecutor was using all kinds of gimmicks to make us take a plea bargain, and Mr. Jones never considered taking any of them, which would have been the easy way. After a very long process, which was delayed even more due to Covid, he managed to get all the charges dropped, which were two felonies and three misdemeanors. I hope I do not need him in the future, but if I do, or someone I know needs a criminal defense lawyer, I will definitely call him.

Had a great experience, they are all very knowledgeable and have good communication and are great at their jobs. Andrew was my lawyer and within a month my charges were dropped I never even had to go to court which is a relief. I can’t thank the team of Longwell lawyers enough. Might be costly but these guys are good at what they do
