"Tong Xu and I went to the same law school and worked together on several matters after graduation. She is an exceptional attorney with a wide range of skills that allow her to resolve both legal and practical issues with professionalism. Toni's linguistic talents, creativity, and work ethic are particularly noteworthy. Among her peers, Toni is often the first person to come up with a solution and the fastest to implement it. I recommend her without a second thought."
