5 stars is simply not enough! Ever felt lost at sea in the middle of a storm taking on water ? That was my divorce and my boat was 10 feet under water surrounded by sharks. Best day in my divorce was the moment Tong Family Law entered my life. What Suzanne and her team accomplished in such a short time (1 month) was simply incredible during the most difficult time in my life. She is a pro, just gets it and knows how to untangle all the garbage but most importantly executes on what matters. Suzanne was referred to me from my forensic accountant and protected me against a shady firm and not only simplified everything, explained it so that the judge gets it and fights hard for you to resolve matters. In 1 month Suzanne and her firm untangled years of my worst nightmare and I am not only thankful but impressed.

Suzanne is an excellent family lawyer providing compassionate and diligent legal services. She truly cares about her clients and is a great ally through difficult and frustrating times.

Suzanne and her team have represented me on more than one occassion. She truly is there to serve her clients with honesty and compassion, while fighting hard to win the toughest family law cases. I wish there were more than just 5 stars, because only giving 5 starts doesn't give Suzanne and her team the credit they deserve. #Highly Recommend

My goal in searching for a divorce attorney was to find a person with whom I could work and who put my interests over her own. Suzanne was that person. A person who could explain to me the law, the parameters of a likely settlement after 32 years of marriage, and my options. A person who thought tactically and recognized when to wait and when to proceed. A person who told me directly when certain things were not worth fighting over, even if I might be legally correct. A flexible person who could work with my spreadsheets of possible spousal support agreements, guiding me to a reasonable proposal. An attorney who encouraged me to talk directly and reworked my write-up of the negotiated agreement into a final legal document. I highly recommend Suzanne if you are looking for a flexible attorney partner, who can help you legally and financially navigate one of the most emotionally challenging and difficult events of your life.

Ten years ago I had the privilege of relying on Suzanne Tong to help me through a critical time, my divorce. I appreciated her professionalism and expertise in seeing a complicated family case through to a successful completion. Tong’s professionalism was consistently evident as she worked well with the many parties involved in our case. She was always personable, honest and timely in our meetings. I will always be grateful for the care and concern she extended to my family and myself.

My kids and I have Suzanne and everyone at the Tong law firm to thank for the free beautiful life we live now. I wish I could explain in a way the feels like justice. Simply put for me… Suzanne came in as an angel on earth helping me advocate for myself and my children and being willing to stand in the line of fire. She was professional to be sure we were upholding confidentiality and court protocol while still submitting everything on time with a plan from start to finish. Suzanne, made time to safely meet with me through the pandemic and make phone calls when I was able to step away from my kids. Talked me off the edge of fawning and caving from my fear of the what ifs. There was so much at stack keeping my children safe and I was so fearful that my ex would be able to pull the wool over the courts eyes like he did so well to people we knew. Thank you for not stepping back as my case evolved into something so much more complicated. From simple divorce filing, to sitting in on CPS phone calls for hours, spending hours netting out evidence texts and time stamped photos of bruises, to Calico video viewings & note taking, countless emails & reassurance. Preparing to take this to trial and fight for our us. You changed our lives and without you… I don’t want to imagine where would would still be. I tried to leave a handful of times throughout the past decade on my own. I was convinced I would not be able to financially support myself and my 2 kids in the Bay Area alone, work full time because he made it clear his support would be conditional, take care of my medically fragile daughter, all her doctor appointments and be a present mom. I knew something was going to have to give and I could not let it be at the sacrifice of my children’s health and education. So I stayed and endured the D.V. In the name of doing what was best for my kids… -what I know for sure … had it not been for 3 things. The pandemic… Suzanne… and sitting in the stillness… I know I would not be where I am today. While the fight was the hardest thing I’ve done yet and cried the whole way through. Life is now so beautiful now. Redemption is possible even the messiest most broken of situations. Our scars and stories are now welded together with gold like the Japanese method kintsugi of repairing art. Making my children and I so so valuable and worth so much to one another. Suzanne, Lydia, Season, Caroline, and the whole Tong Family Law group fam. THANK YOU…. TRUELY TRUELY
