Seattle Employment Lawyer | Ada Wong

AKW LAW, P.C. was founded as a Seattle-based Employment Law firm nearly a decade ago by attorney Ada K. Wong. As an Asian American female who started working when she was in middle school and raised by immigrant parents, she saw first-hand how employees are treated (both good and bad). At a young age, she had an unwavering commitment to being a lawyer so she can be a voice for those who may not have one.

Ada launched the firm with a Client First mindset. We understand the complexities that arise in litigation and we are not afraid to go to trial. We have a strong team that is dedicated to achieving the best outcome for our clients, whether that is through early resolution or trial. We do not back down and will not sell our clients’ case value short. We have won against large companies, such as FedEx, where the jury awarded our client in a disability and retaliation case $6.8 Million

Ada and her team were always there to answer any question I had throughout the entire process. They helped me through the most difficult time of my life and always made me feel at ease. Everything was handled extremely professionally. Ada knows what she's doing! And her paralegal Kaila is amazing!

Ada and her team are amazing! It felt like they not only cared about my case but my wellbeing as well. Ada took the time and patience with my case. If I didn't understand something her and her team explained it to me clearly and concisely. She also kept my cost low as well.

I had an outstanding experience working with Mrs. Wong. Her meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and strategic approach set her apart. She not only demonstrated exceptional legal expertise but also provided customed approach, making the entire process more manageable. I highly recommend Mrs. Wong's legal services for anyone in need of top-notch legal consultation.
