Expert Defense in a Complex Case

Christine Wong handled my white-collar criminal defense case with remarkable skill and precision. Her deep expertise in regulatory enforcement and securities litigation was evident from the start. While her strategic approach was outstanding, I found her billing increments to be slightly higher than expected for routine communications. That said, her track record and recognition by Best Lawyers speak for themselves. She navigated SEC investigations with calm assurance, ultimately securing a favorable outcome. If you're facing regulatory scrutiny, her 25 years of experience at Morrison Foerster are invaluable. Highly recommend, though clearer fee structures would enhance the client experience.

Trustworthy and Thorough Legal Counsel

I had the pleasure of working with Christine Y. Wong during a complex regulatory enforcement case involving securities violations. Her 25 years of experience and deep expertise in white-collar criminal defense and securities litigation were evident from our first consultation. Christine’s attention to detail and strategic approach helped navigate the complexities of SEC investigations with precision and confidence. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in these practice areas is well-deserved, as she demonstrated an exceptional ability to break down intricate legal concepts into actionable insights. While her legal acumen is outstanding, I did notice that response times to emails could occasionally be slower than expected, likely due to her busy caseload. However, this minor hiccup didn’t overshadow the overall excellence of her representation. Christine’s professionalism and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were reassuring throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone facing regulatory or white-collar legal challenges.

Exceptional white-collar defense attorney

I hired Christine Y. Wong to represent me in a complex securities litigation case, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Her 25 years of experience at Morrison Foerster was immediately apparent in her strategic approach and deep understanding of regulatory enforcement matters. She deftly navigated the SEC investigation, demonstrating expertise in white-collar criminal defense that clearly aligns with her Best Lawyers recognition. Christine's ability to break down intricate legal concepts into clear action steps was invaluable, and her calm, professional demeanor provided much-needed reassurance during a stressful process. While her exceptional legal skills are undeniable, I did find that her response times to emails could be quicker—particularly in the early stages of the case. The billing was transparent, though I would have appreciated a clearer breakdown of costs from the outset. Despite these minor points, I would wholeheartedly recommend Christine to anyone facing regulatory or securities litigation. Her reputation as a top-tier attorney is well-deserved, and her results speak for themselves.

Knowledgeable but communicative gaps

Christine Y. Wong clearly has impressive credentials, especially in white-collar criminal defense and regulatory litigation. Her deep experience with SEC and securities cases was apparent in my matter. However, I found the communication somewhat inconsistent, and responses to my urgent questions took longer than expected. While I was confident in her expertise—especially given her recognition by Best Lawyers—some follow-up details were missed. The outcome was favorable, but the process felt less personalized than I’d hoped.
