      Residential Real Estate Issue

      Posted by

      Very good listener and his advice was well received. The initial dispute between the property management company and myself was resolved within 2 days.

      Extreme Lawyer

      Posted by

      Marc has been my lawyer and then very close friend for 20+ years, and I simply do not know what I would do without him. He is smart, tenacious, ethical, wise, and damn witty - a very rare assortment, in friendship and/or the law.

      Superstar!

      Posted by

      My case involved Real Estate and financial abuse of a family member. While selling a home I asked the realtor if she knew of a Real Estate attorney and she gave me Marc Fong's information. Marc was the answer to my prayers, he sheltered my elderly family member from the stress of litigation and met with her many times at her assisted living facility when necessary. I cannot express strongly enough how Marc was the strength and calm in the midst of mediation which was extremely stressful. He is everything you want an attorney to be, knowledgable, ethical and supportive I will alway be grateful for his expertise.
