Phenomenal defense!

Hired her services twice. The first time she took care of everything and explained everything that was required of me, without sugar coating anything. She explained the prosecutors perspective and made sure to answer any and all questions I had for her. The end result was better than I could've ever ...hoped and she made sure to keep in touch with me throughout the entire process. The second time I utilized her services she has come to feel like a motherly figure for me in the legal system. I cannot thank her enough for keeping an open mind and caring as much about my freedom as close family and friends. I felt very reassured with her as my defense. There have also been multiple instances where I have been applauded for choosing her services by the local Bloomington residents.

Don't Hire Her !

We hired Ms Wong to handle my daughter’s case in ‘attempted resisting arrest’ charges by a Normal police officer. Ms Wong was not the least interested in fighting for my daughters rights, trying to win this case, or give us sound legal advice. She only wanted to cash in on her “college student from... the big city” (her words!) Her recommendations were to not go to trial because we would lose. She recommended pleading guilty and letting it go. Later we found out there were prior issues with the arresting officer, and the officer ended up resigning just after the case went before a judge. She could have had the case thrown out, but didn’t even bother to research. Definitely do NOT recommend her.

Amazing!

I can't say enough positive things about Stephanie. From the very first meeting she helped me through a very difficult situation. She was so helpful and explained everything during the whole process. She's intelligent, organized, flexible, responsive, and very human. Her answers to my questions are a...lways clear and complete and she demonstrates a sophisticated knowledge of the case. I have total confidence and trust in Stephanie and feel very fortunate to have been referred to Stephanie as one of the best. This was clearly the case. I've acquired Stephanie's services four times. If you're looking for a fighter she's the one for you. Kind regards, Michael

More than satisfied

I would like to give my sincere thanks to Stephanie Wong in my sons case. Stephanie was always professional and caring. She's great about keeping you informed with every aspect of the case. It is clear she looks out for your well being. She was there to walk my son through very thing that came up. I ...would highly recommend to anyone in need of an excellent attorney.

recommend

Hired her because of her reputation and the end result did not disappoint. I would recommend her for any criminal case and she went beyond just the basics. I consulted with other lawyers and expected to pay much more for Stephanie but that was not the case.
