 About Katherine E. Fong Katherine E. Fong was born and raised in Upstate New York. She received her undergraduate degree from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1999, and her law degree at Western New England College School of Law in Springfield, Massachusetts in 2004. Prior to law school Katherine worked for a year and a half at one of the top personal injury litigation firms in Manhattan and it is here that she recognized her desire to help people receive fair compensation for injuries and losses suffered due to the negligence of others. Since graduating law school Katherine has worked as a clerk at Hartford Superior Court, at a construction based law firm in Hartford and at a chapter 11 bankruptcy claims agent, but her desire to return to personal injury law continued to grow stronger so she decided to open her own practice in 2008. Affiliations: Testimonials I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle in September of 2015. I called the Fong's right away, as soon as it occurred to me...how does one quantify pain and suffering (let alone all the other ramifications of the legal process). Working with Kate and Corey has been a dream! They're thorough, honest, informative, and were able to settle my case in just 8 months even while Kate was super pregnant and having a baby!!!! I am so grateful for all the time and effort the Fong's put into my case and for the awesome settlement they were able to secure! I will definitely recommend Kate and Corey to all of my friends and family! They are a great team! Ilicia Balaban, LMSW In October of 2013 my wife and I were out for a drive in the town in which we live. While stopped at a traffic light we were struck from behind by a person who claimed her brakes had failed. I have never experienced the pain I felt that day. I was transported to the hospital for treatment and thank God my wife was okay. Not knowing how ong my treatment was going to be and knowing what coverage I had (which is extremely good) we found out that this driver had the bare minimum allowed by Connecticut law. We contacted Fong and Associates, LLC to discuss what options we might have. Corey and Kate were two of the most open, caring and honest individuals that I have had the pleasure of working with and can say have added to my friends list. Corey kept me and my wife updated on all aspects of the case and made sure that everything we needed was taken care of. If you need someone that really cares about you, contact Kate and Corey. - J. Alexander I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Fong and Associates - Let me tell you there is no one better! I received grade A++ customer service during my time with them. I was always contacted first by them; never did I have to initiate the call. I received updates from them regularly so never was I in the dark as to where my case stood. Anytime something was needed from me on my end; they always managed to work around my schedule/availability. Truly, I couldn't ask for a better team - and as long as they're around I will never use another firm!! P.S. If you're like me and enjoy spcialized attention, instead of feeling like another number or dollar in a packet....LOOK NO FURTHER! -T. Furlow In August of 2008, I was severely injured in a motorcycle accident caused by a run-away-driver. My insurance company continued to delay and deny my medical injury coverage that I was owed. I contacted attorney Katherine Fong at Fong and Associates to discuss my case. To begin with, I work in a high demand job and finding any spare time during normal business hours is nearly impossible. Katherine went above and beyond by meeting with me on the weekends, week nights, and even driving to my office to meet and discuss the case. At no point, did I ever need to call her to check how things were going, she regularly called to give me updates and check in on my recovery. Beyond the flexible and personal service that she provided, she was dedicated to get the results I desired. She negotiated with my insurance company and not only achieved the results and the compensation that I was originally denied, but also received additional compensation for any potential future procedures or medical follow up that I may need. My wife and I were going to work one evening when suddenly we were struck behind by another vehicle. Not knowing what our rights were we contacted Fong and Asscociates. Limited on our English language abilities I thought it would be difficult to communicate our situation. Attorney Kate Fong bypassed that barrier and used a language interpreter. Then she immediately got in contact with the other insurance company. She really was no nonsense. She went right to the point and got us both medical attention, a rental car to get to and from work, and money to replace our totaled car. Then she proceeded with professionalism and followed up with excellent communication. She settled my wife’s case and then mine. We were extremely satisfied with Kate and the results of our case that we even sang her a serenade. Thank you Kate for treating us with respect and honesty. We now have a new car and we even bought a new sound system so that we may continue singing at different venues. All of this because of Kate. UN MILLION DE GRACIAS KATE. Dueto Real del Norte I met Attorney Corey Fong in January of 2011, soon after our first trecherous snow storm. Due to my profession as a nurse driving in the blizzard like conditions was not an option for me, I was hit on I-84 from behind. Being a health care professional I knew I was injured and my vehicle was damaged through no fault of my own. When I contacted Attorney Fong, I was very upset and in pain, he did not hesitate to have me come right in to see him. Attorney Fong's first and foremost concern was that I received medical attention to relieve my pain and I began treatment. He began to handle all the legal aspects, so my focus could be solely on my health. I cannot express my gratitude enough to this "caring", professional attorney. He is not "just" a lawyer, he truly cares about his clientele. Not a vast amount of attorney's will call you simply "to see how you are feeling", he made me feel secure with the legalities and stress free , which aided in my recovery. He is efficient, as well as in constant contact with you so that you are not "wondering " what is going on with your case. This attorney will go to extremes for you , he even came to me for a couple of meetings. He is an attorney who will go that extra mile for you. I also had the opportunity to meet Kate, his wife, who is intelligent, personable and has the same caring and concern for her clients as well. From a medicalprofessional stand point as well as a client in need of legal help, this is the law firm that will truly care about you. Sherry Callahan LP
M.Felix I was recommended to Fong and Associates by another individual who had utilized their services. Due to the severe nature of my situation, I was at first apprehensive to deal with an attorney. I have seen countless t.v. ads and advertisements from law firms and had a certain expectation. When Attorney Katherine Fong arrived for an initial consultation, my apprehension disappeared. She was warm, friendly and informative. There was no pressure applied to retain their services and she put the comfort of the client first asking how I was doing. After legal matters were discussed I did not hesitate to put my legal matters into her hands. Shortly after my case had progressed, I met Attorney Corey Fong who was also very informative and showed genuine concern. I received constant updates about the status of my case. The attorneys were even gracious enough to visit my home and to transport me to and from court due to car problems. In a world of drive-thru conveyor belt law firms, I suggest that you consider a law firm such as this. Fong and Associates will not just assist with with your legal matters, but they will show compassion and concern to the individual involved. - A.C. I was injured badly in a car accident shortly before Christmas a couple of years ago. My shoulder was separated during the accident, requiring surgery and months of physical therapy and rehabilitation. From the moment I called Attorney Katherine Fong to inquire about whether I had a case, she was there for me in every way. She even came to my house for meetings when I was too busy and in pain to travel to her office. Fong and Associates worked tirelessly and passionately on my behalf, keeping me updated every step of the way with constant communication and explanations of their legal strategies. They obtained the settlement I deserved and I was able to have closure on a painful experience. In addition to superior lawyering skills, Kate and Corey stand out among other attorneys because they give something extra to their clients beyond legal knowledge and skill. They give friendliness, compassion, thoughtfulness and patience. And when you are dealing with personal injury, it's comforting to know that you are in the hands of attorneys who always have your best interests at heart. You'll never be just another case docket or billable hour at Fong and Associates. You'll be a person they'll fight for because they care. - Janee, Retired Attorney at Law.
