K Matthew Long
Experienced Attorney and Points & Miles Blogger
Matt Long, President of Bowen Ten Long & Bal, PC, is a distinguished trial lawyer focused on civil litigation, including severe personal injury claims and complex disputes involving contracts, property, and financial matters. He regularly handles partition suits—legal actions between co-owners who can’t agree on what to do with shared real estate—as well as breach of contract and business-related financial disputes. Known for his clear communication, strategic thinking, and ethical standards, Mr. Long consistently follows through on every commitment.
Clients seek him out when matters are emotionally charged or legally murky. With deep experience in case valuation and damage analysis, he brings persuasive communication and negotiation skills to bear, securing favorable outcomes both in and out of court. Mr. Long has a strong record of success in jury trials, bench trials, settlement conferences, and high-stakes negotiations.
His professional excellence has earned repeated recognition: Super Lawyer since 2017, Legal Elite in Civil Litigation, Best Lawyers in Commercial Litigation, and one of Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s “Leaders in the Law” in 2021.
Mr. Long is deeply involved in legal and civic service. He serves as an arbitrator for the Virginia State Bar Fee Dispute Program and is President of the Third District Disciplinary Committee. He conducts CLE seminars for the Henrico Bar and serves on the boards of both the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and Henrico County Bar Association. He’s also held leadership roles in Business Networking International (BNI).
Outside the office, Matt enjoys traveling the world with his wife and is currently working on his first book about luxury travel using points and miles.
