Kahin Tong

Competent and recognized, but communication could be more consistent

I engaged Kahin Tong at Perkins Coie to handle a breach of contract dispute for my small business. His background in commercial litigation, including the recognition from Best Lawyers, was a key factor in our decision. The legal work itself was solid. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the contractual nuances and the relevant Illinois law, and the strategy he developed was sound. Ultimately, we reached a settlement that protected our interests. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Kahin is clearly knowledgeable, there were times when communication felt delayed. Responses to emails sometimes took longer than expected, and updates on case developments weren't always proactive. For a firm of Perkins Coie's stature, I anticipated a slightly more streamlined client experience. Kahin is a sharp attorney who knows his field, as his early recognition suggests, and I don't doubt his legal acumen. My three-star rating reflects competent representation that achieved the desired legal outcome, paired with service aspects that felt merely adequate. For straightforward commercial matters where you can be patient with the process, he is a capable choice.
