Excellent Attorney

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.

very good lawyer

Stephanie was very thorough with my son's traffic and criminal case. She was very detailed and knoweldgeable. we could not have had a better result. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an aggressive lawyer.

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.

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.

Great lawyer

I was looking at 12 years in jail for an offense i didn't commit. she explained the rules at trial, explained the risks of trial and the possibility of plea bargaining. I went to trial and the jury decided I was innocent in 1 hour. Stephanie doesn't sugar coat but I had the information I needed a...nd made a good decision. I would recommend her to any one who needs a good lawyer

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
