Meet Ira Long
Finding the right lawyer who is well-equipped to handle your case can make a big difference in your life and your future. I’m Ira Long, the founder of Ira Long & Associates, PLLC, a small firm in the heart of Chattanooga’s Southside Historic District.
As a fourth-generation Chattanoogan who comes from a family with several lawyers, I’ve cultivated a practice that reflects the values and needs of our community. I apply more than four decades of experience to solve legal challenges in complex areas such as medical malpractice. I also come from a family with several doctors including my father and son. I deeply respect those that practice in the healthcare field and believe that I am furthering the quality of healthcare by holding practitioners to a standard of care when they have neglected to provide their patients with the care they deserve. My mission is to serve you with the same integrity that’s been passed down through my family.
My practice thrives on referrals from those who know my work best: former clients and fellow attorneys.

Attorney at law is not just a title; it’s a responsibility I’ve embraced wholeheartedly. Through my past leadership roles I have endeavored to enhance the legal community’s services to all of our clients.

I also hold the distinction of being AV Preeminent* peer-review rated through Martindale-Hubbell.
