About

James R. Long is the founder and lead attorney at Long Trial Firm, PLLC, a Houston firm representing plaintiffs in personal injury and employment cases. He fights for workers injured by corporate negligence—trucking accidents, maritime injuries, construction site incidents—as well as employees facing wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

James has a history of service and fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves. Before law school, James graduated from the United States

Naval Academy and proudly served as an officer in the U.S. Navy, where he became fluent in Mandarin Chinese. He earned his law degree from Tulane Law School and went on to become a partner at a global law firm representing corporate interests before shifting his focus to representing individuals. In the past 14 months, James has personally secured over $34 million in settlements for his clients.

James is a relentless advocate who has proven himself in high-stakes litigation, but he prides himself on treating every client like family. When you hire James, you get his personal cell phone number. He believes that people who have suffered injustice deserve more than a case number—they deserve a lawyer who answers their calls and fights for them as if their case were the only one that mattered.

A resident of Humble, Texas, James lives with his wife Jennifer and their two children. He is an active member of First Baptist Church in Houston and the Houston Veterans Association. He is licensed to practice in Texas, Louisiana, and New York.
