What clients say about Ken Chong
“My business recently engaged Tang Law, specifically Ken Chong and Briony Chen to assist us with a Visa application for one of our staff. This issue became time sensitive and both Ken and Briony were very generous with their support at very challenging hours of the day. Their advice was compassionate, accurate and timely. I would not hesitate to use Tang Law again.”
“We recently embarked on the employment of an international Vet to our Central Queensland Mixed Practice. After having a challenging experience with another Law Firm we gratefully came into the very professional and capable hands of the Tang Law Team. From the outset we found Ken and his support team extremely knowledgeable, practical and with a “get it sorted” attitude. They explained the entire process clearly and gave regular updates along with going above and beyond ensuring that our application was successful. We could not recommend Ken and and his team more highly.”
