Mr. Tong was extremely helpful from the very first call I made to him. He was able to sort out the details of my case and put together a well thought out defense for the claims made against me. Always professional, kept me informed of progress and returned calls promptly. Most importantly, on my day in court, he was a true professional and executed the defense as we discussed. It was well organized and clearly demonstrated the case against me was ill-founded and false. The outcome was in my favor and I have Mr. Tong to thank for that!
Vincent helped our ecommerce business by reviewing all of our business contracts and establish a brand identity in the trademarking process. He keeps us very up to date on new retail and tech business policies, and makes many valuable suggestions which helped us avoid some potentially sticky situations. He has advised us on our contracts, employment policies, corporation filings, and trademarking. We are very fortunate to have such reliable and responsible legal support for our business - we can really focus on the creative process when not sidetracked and bogged down by legalese and laws.

Vincent Tong is excellent at what he does!
Throughout the process of dealing with my previous employer appealing my unemployment benefits, Vincent was very reassuring of my success in this matter. He was able to obtain documentation from my previous employer stating that they had provided false information and fraudulent documents to the EDD. The EDD quickly dropped the appeal. In the end my previous employer paid my legal fees as well. I would highly recommend having Vincent on your side!

Helpful business consulting!
Mr. Tong was very helpful with my inquiries and research about starting my business. He provided very useful information regarding contracts, business partnerships, and commercial real estate. He's very knowledgeable and was responsive to all of my questions. In the rare cases that he didn't know something off of the top of his head, he researched and got back to me quickly. Mr. Tong is pleasant to work with and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Quick and thorough services for my business needs!
We found ourselves in a bind when a telecommunications business we were contracted to did not deliver on their promises. We were faced with very unreasonable demands and exorbitant hidden fees - all in all a huge headache. Vincent was able to diffuse the situation by corresponding with the company on our behalf and cut off our contract without having to take further legal actions. His ability to negotiate and reason with the other party ultimately saved us a lot of money and time. We are very happy to have this issue resolved so swiftly and professionally, and would definitely reach out to Vincent again for our future needs.

Looking for an Attorney to be there for you?
Vincent reviewed the issues and we talked about what could be done. By that time, the person in charge decided to handle issues and so I didn't need my attorney to do more, but know I can call on him should the need arise.

Excellent preparation, coaching & organization!
In every respect Mr. Tong proved to be well prepared - had done his homework about the details of my particular case - understanding the laws involved as well as "psychological profile" related to what I and the other party had experienced. In the end Mr. Tong aided me with the result of being successful in getting a full RO (restraining order) against the other party. Mr. Tong even recommended me carrying out homework in preparation for my case which I completed even though it was not pleasant. This was invaluable since I was looking back at several years of incidents and needed to bring up as much details as I possibly could.
Mr. Tong was specific in coaching me in a logical way on what would be helpful to my case and what would not while encouraging me to be as specific as possible in my account when I would testify.
I unreservedly recommend Mr. Tong to clients looking for legal representation!

Detail Oriented
I was introduced to Vincent by another attorney friend of mine, because of his expertise in business law. Being my first time involved in a lawsuit and Vincent has guided me through and helped me understand the process. He is very thorough and detail oriented. He is committed to providing his clients with the best representation possible. Vincent's belief in my case has helped me immensely in this process.
