About

History & Mission

Long Law Offices was founded by H. Clyde Long in 1984. Our first office overlooked Washington Square in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. The practice focused on real estate, business, and construction litigation. Our work has broadened to meet the diverse legal needs of our clients, including general legal counsel to manage and avoid legal risks.

We continue to bring substantial legal experience, wisdom, and energy to helping clients meet their goals and prosper.
