Personal Injury Employment Law Litigation
After spending $500 and taking an hour of my life, Mr. Vincent Tong’s official legal advice was to conspire with my employer to defraud California’s unemployment benefits system! This absolutely violated his ethical obligations as a lawyer!
He has a clear bias towards employers, and his bedside manner was awful. Throughout the consultation, he acted as though he were in a court of law as the defendant’s attorney! Steer clear of this unethical and gauche excuse for an attorney.
Vincent helped me negotiate through an employment dispute with a high profile, multi-billion dollar tech company’s legal department, that was in turn represented by a Tier 1 national employment / litigation law firm located in SF. He was thorough and clear in listening and communicating, and flexible in his approach. He made sure to offer the most sound advice while at the same time recognizing that the course of resolution ultimately resided with me. I would not hesitate to retain Vincent if ever I have the need for litigation, pre-litigation negotiations or counseling in any his specialty areas, including employment law, business representation or anything else within his purview. It was a sound decision and I’m extremely thankful for his help!
Vincent was extremely helpful at a very critical time, when we sought legal counsel during a complicated real estate transaction. We risked losing our earnest deposit and needed to urgently understand details of the purchase contract. Vincent made himself immediately available and we were able to quickly discuss the situation. He was empathetic and generous with time, quickly understood the scenario, and clearly explained to us key parts of the contract that we had misunderstood. This allowed us to correctly assess our risk and decide on a course of action (that ultimately succeeded). We are very grateful to Vincent for helping us at this difficult time.
