About Longwell Lawyers

After serving successfully as a prosecutor for the State of Florida, Mark Longwell founded Longwell Lawyers in 1993. Mark wasn’t going to be content being an average lawyer at an average law firm. He was determined to be one of the best lawyers at one of the best law firms.

We Fight Hard For Your Rights

“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
