I interviewed multiple lawyers and I initially selected Ms. Bartlett in 2021 because I felt she…read moreunderstood me as a woman and a mother. My soon to be ex was a narcissist and I needed someone to be ahead of the game and support me. When we went to court to ask for child support and other filings considered the paperwork was not filed at all and the judge couldn't rule on anything. Ms Bartlett stated it was filed but the judge again said there was nothing. After court was over I received the paperwork to sign it and have it filed properly and the date was stated for that day. I was not happy as I was not receiving any money at all and was trying to get on my feet. I switched lawyers and I believe she knew I needed someone who was more experienced with a high conflict case but when I went back to court with my new lawyers to ask for back child support they denied me months of support because it was my fault that the first lawyer dropped the ball. I was upset but my new lawyers were uplifting and encouraged me this was her mistake and request my retainer back. I did not seek it as I am finally done with the divorce but I wished I had asked more question throughout the process as ultimately this was my life and money that was on the line.

Vincent Tong came recommended, I hired him, he resolved the matter in my favor, and I'm quite glad I did hire him. Vincent got it quickly, understood the relevant California law, and gave me clear, strategic advice from the start. He "handled it" with minimal input from me but the communication throughout was great. He drafted strong, thoughtful correspondence that protected my position without unnecessarily escalating the situation. Vincent was responsive, steady, and experienced. My highest recommendation to Vincent and Tong Law if you are dealing with a cease-and-desist, or other type of California-specific employment issue. He's a good guy too - and fun to work with.
