About Kevin B. Long

Never be outworked, underprepared, cut corners, or back down in the face of adversity.  That’s how Kevin was raised, and how he approaches every day as he defends clients who have been charged with criminal offenses.  Kevin understands that each client’s case is different and takes a personalized approach to defending his clients and standing up for their rights.

Kevin is a licensed attorney in the state of North Carolina, focusing on the defense of criminal charges.  He is a native of Chapin, South Carolina, where he spent his youth playing sports, hunting, fishing, and working on his family’s horse farm.  Kevin attributes his unmatched work ethic to the way he was raised and the example set by three generations of attorneys that came before him.  Kevin attended the University of South Carolina, where he double majored in business management and economics, with a minor in Political science.

After graduating from the University of South Carolina, Kevin attended Charlotte School of Law, where he focused his legal education on trial advocacy and litigation.  While at CSL, Kevin served as the Associate Chief Justice for the school’s Trial Advocacy Honor Board, receiving numerous national and regional honors.

After completing law school, Kevin began his legal career as a Mecklenburg County Assistant District Attorney in Charlotte, North Carolina.  During his tenure at the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office, he prosecuted misdemeanor charges including driving while impaired (DWI), misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, drug offenses, assaults, and various traffic violations.  Kevin also prosecuted felony charges ranging from breaking and entering, larceny, and possession of stolen vehicle, to gun charges and an array of financial crimes.
