About Hong
Biography
I work very hard for my clients, and I constantly communicate with them to inform them of all the developments on their case at the earliest opportunity. Family law matters may take years to be resolved, and I do my best to (a) show my clients that I will not stop fighting for their legal rights, and (b) reasure them that they have placed their trust in the right hands.
When a person facing a family law issue comes to my office for the first time, I make sure that he or she feels heard. It is very important to take the time to understand the client's version of the facts in order to determine the most effective way to help him or her. When an attorney takes the time to learn about the client and empathize with what he or she is going through, the attorney is able to create a very strong strategy for the client's case.
If you need help with your family law matter, please contact me. I will be there with you when you call.

Will go out of his way for you.
I have regretted that I did not use Hong as my attorney from the start. When I did hire him to represent me in my child custody matter, he fought hard so that the judge could see the case clearly.

Best one from the IE
Hong put me at ease from the initial consultation. He explained the process for my divorce step by step. He even let me know that a legal separation was also an option that I had not considered prior to. I am so grateful that I had Hong representing me and working hard to get the best outcome for me...

Quick and relatively painless
Hong returned my initial and follow up communications in a timely manner, was very professional and accommodating to work with, and is a trustworthy lawyer that I would be glad to work with again. We finalized without me ever stepping foot in the courtroom and without "hidden" legal fees.
