Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Eugene Wong! He helped navigate 2 very stressful business transactions with efficiency and professionalism. Without him, I know that both of these would not have ended as well as they did for me. He is always easy to get a hold of and responds to emails in a timely manner as well. It is so important to have someone you can depend on during stressful situations. Eugene never disappoints and always follows through. I appreciate that he understands his craft and his team supports him as well. When I required some advice outside the business transaction, he referred me to another attorney in his firm and she helped answer all of my questions. I am extremely thankful to have Eugene to back me up with any legal issues that arise with owning a business!

It has been truly an honor having Eugene Wong represent me as a dental practice owner this past eight years. He has assisted me from the beginning of my practice with incorporation, corporate reporting, lease negotiations, etc. Eugene is a rare find in that while he is extremely personable and kind, he is also sharp and detailed in both thought process and execution. I believe that he truly cares about the success of my practice, and I know that he will be there unconditionally should the need ever arise. For these reasons and so many more, I offer my highest recommendation of Mr. Eugene Wong.
