Stephanie M. Wong

Attorney Stephanie Wong and her law firm are exceptionally above the rest with knowledge and expertise. Her experience and background as a prosecutor and now a defense attorney are invaluable to have on your side. Her communication throughout my case was outstanding, responding to phone calls and em...ails within a few minutes. Stephanie is a thoughtful individual who possesses a keen sense of duty and personal responsibility in all that she undertakes. She is highly intelligent while also possessing a solid sense of practicality and common-sense. She can be depended upon to “do the right thing” in her every endeavor. Her integrity is above reproach. Simply said, she can be depended upon in all manner of undertakings, great and small. I recommend her unqualifiedly and with the highest enthusiasm. I had 3 very serious felony charges against me and they were all dismissed. Stephanie saved my life and my career.

I recommend not hiring her. As my defense attorney for a period of five months, Stephanie Wong failed to provide competent and ethical representation. Her actions and statements led me to conclude that she was using fear tactics to steer me toward a guilty plea, and was attempting to protect the peop...le that were involved in a trumped-up false arrest including an illegal search of my residence, and another illegal search and seizure of firearms in my home. Following a motion hearing on 10/2/2017 where her unprofessional and unethical conduct finally convinced me that I could no longer have her represent me, I fired her. Wong then filed a motion to withdraw as my attorney and was heard on 10/23/2017. I requested a refund of the $14,000 fee and she responded that there would be no refund. I requested. I filed a request with The Chicago Bar Association Committee on Professional Fees asking for help in recovering the fee. She responded to them that she refuses to pay a refund and will not refund the fee and declined to participate in their program.
