Long Outlines Geico Case Ruling

Just days before joining McAfee & Taft, attorney Brandon Long was in Washington, D.C., hearing oral arguments before the nation's highest court.  While with the law firm of Baker & McKenzie, Long drafted the petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Geico Insurance Co. v. Edo, a case involving alleged violations of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately combined the Geico case with a similar case involving Safeco Insurance Company, and a ruling was handed down in June 2007. 

Journal Record reporter Marie Price interviewed Long about his firsthand experience working on the case, the court's decision, and what impact the ruling will have on buyers and sellers of insurance with regard to the FCRA.
