Outstanding divorce attorney

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.

Win 1. Win 2...

I hired Suzanne as my attorney for my divorce/child custody case which also involved parental move-away rights. She was knowledgeable, focused, caring, and dedicated to the well-being of my children. I called on Suzanne for a second time (case) a couple of years back, and again she came through w...ith her assertiveness, no holding-back attitude, knowledge of family law, professionalism, and caring demeanor. God forbid I ever have a case #3, I know who I would call... ;)

Glad to have made the call

Mrs. Ahlport Tong was by my side while going through child custody. it was a really stressful process but she made me feel very at ease. She fought for the things that where important to me and always thought of my children and their well being. She made sure that i was 100% sure of the choices that... were being made and if I was not happy with something she had no problem continuing the fight. She is very professional, she knows what she's doing and always kept me informed of everything that was happening. I am very happy to of had her as my attorney and if I needed her help again I wouldn't hesitate to call her.
