I would not recommend Longe & Co for family matters if you are opposing or involved with the local authority/childrens services of Norfolk. I would go as far as to say that I strongly discourage anyone from instructing Longe & Co for such matters.

Thank you Angela Bell from longe and Co for a first class professional service. I had Angela Bell from longe and Co represent me in a rest family court matter, and I'm so glad I did!
Angela's professionalism and work ethic in the ground work of my case Got me the result I so desperately needed. I can not thank her and longe and Co for everything.
Angela worked tirelessly on my case and from the start she gave very straightforward and knowledgable advice. Angela was always open to suggestions and ideas and took into consideration anything I was able to put forward. I was made to feel involved
