Suzanne Ahlport Tong

I worked with two lawyers before finding Suzanne. Before Suzanne, my case wasn't moving on any front. My previous lawyers were dropping the ball on key issues, not giving my case the time it needed, and not thinking strategically about how to get things done. Once Suzanne took on my case, things bega...n to move forward and in a way where I felt we were finally being successful. She was on top of my case! She was thoughtful and strategic, working as hard as she could to ensure the best outcome. Day-to-day and week-by-week, she kept a clear line of communication with me and was extremely organized staying on top of the many moving parts of my case. What I valued most is that Suzanne always presented me with thoughtful options on how to approach various aspects of my divorce. She also helped me set my expectations so there were no surprises about which way things could go. My ex is high conflict making and it took me two lawyers to figure out what it takes to deal with this. I say this because if you are in a high conflict situation Suzanne has thel skill set to deal with it!

I hired Suzanne to litigate an alimony change of circumstances case. She has been amazing, very receptive and easy to communicate with. She is honest and empathetic to her clients problems and treated me with respect. She is an effective negotiator and I am satisfied knowing that she confidently dire...cted negotiations without being a bully or a pushover. So nice to work with her.

Ms. Tong was efficient, professional and very sharp as she helped me navigate a tough divorce. I thought it was going to be super complicated, but she made it as painless and civil as possible. She even helped educate the opposing side and we all landed in a win-win situation without ugliness. She ha...s the patience of a saint with great strategic acumen.

Suzanne was the best I could have hoped for in an attorney during my divorce. I made it clear from the start how important it was to me that this not get ugly, and she honored that every step of the way - while making sure I understood my rights, and standing up for them when I had trouble. I recomme...nd her regularly to others who are looking for a divorce lawyer, knowing she will be the advocate they need.

Suzanne is just that. Partner. Mentor. Coach. Council. She offers tremendous experience and expertise in what is arguably one of the toughest life experience one can go through. Divorce is never easy. When kids are involved it is even more sensitive. When the other party does not want to engage i...t feels impossible. Suzanne's knowledge, demeanor, tone, discipline and ability to see the big picture helped me navigate the hardest journey of my life. My children are better for it. I am better for it. Suzanne is not just an attorney, she is a partner who truly has her clients best interest in mind. Paul
