Chris Wong recently represented my son. The service we received was brilliant, he built up a great rapport with my son and kept me up to date with any progress, I always felt reassured after a conversation with Chris as he is very knowledgeable in the industry, it was an extremely difficult thing to go through as a parent but Chris really helped the situation and made me feel a lot more positive about everything throughout. I would highly recommend Chris as he is a very professional but down to earth individual. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to have supported us though this time and we couldn't off asked for a better outcome in such a complex case.
Thank you very much for your positive review, we are really pleased to hear that you were happy with the service. We will pass your comments on to Chris and the team at the Sheffield Office.

Professionalism
He was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to make my case straightforward, ultimately securing a lesser judgment. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need. Mr. Chris Wong is truly an excellent lawyer.

The BEST criminal defence lawyer
The BEST criminal defence lawyer
Don’t look anywhere else … without going into detail on the case my partner required a criminal lawyer. On reading the solicitors reviews in the area, Chris Wong was very highly rated…after being dissatisfied with the advice that was given by the duty solicitor at the police station. We then decided to go with our gut feeling and highly rated solicitor. From day one my partner spoke to Chris, who fully explained the procedure and the way to proceed. He is extremely frank about the possible outcomes and open and transparent throughout, to the point where some could consider ’brutal’. However, listen to what advice you are given, take onboard what is presented and trust in his capability. Believe me, in court he proceeds with his vast experience and knowledge, Chris is the ‘go to lawyer’ for any criminal proceeding. We are very grateful for the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who requires any type of criminal defence.

Honest, knowledgable and reliable
Can’t recommend Chris enough, from the first phone conversation I had with him he put me at ease, was easy to talk to, non judgemental and down to earth.
I gave him the full story, even probably irrelevant details and he was patient and understanding. His knowledge of the area really shone through as he was then able to take on the information I’d thrown at him, understand my situation and translate it into something the magistrates would understand.
He went above and beyond, even supporting and advising my family through the process.
He was straight talking, honest, and gave me full confidence.
I went in with very realistic expectations, set by Chris, these were then exceeded, so I am incredibly grateful.
Thank you for all of your support and understanding Chris.
