Testimonials
Maggie
We are so glad we used Tsong Law Group for our surrogacy journey. They helped make what can be a complicated process understandable and were there for us every step of the way. I'd recommend Ralph to anyone and everyone that needs a lawyer for their surrogacy journey.
Douglas
It's a common dilemma: to need legal help but don't know an attorney or where to turn. This is stressful and prompts thoughts of super-high legal fees from someone who doesn't seem interested in your case. Our experience with Ralph Tsong at Tsong Law Group could not have been more different. We used Ralph for a surrogacy legal contract and the process was SUPER straightforward, transparent, and helpful. There were no surprises, his fees were exactly as stated upfront, and Ralph is very pleasant to work with.
Tanya
Great experience working with Tsong's team on our first surrogacy journey. The service is excellent, with very timely response and update. The cost is reasonable. We are also using Tsong Law for our second journey, and recommended to one of our friends, who also are very satisfied with their service.
