Very grateful for the help and assistance provided by both Jenson and Rosalia during a very difficult time on short notice. Rosalia kindly helped facilitate arranging and preparing for my consultation with Jenson who was very kind, knowledgeable and supportive in ensuring that I was better informed of my options regarding a difficult and sudden matter.

Jenson Leung really assisted me well for my case. It was a simple conversation over the phone with him and instructed me step by step on how to win my case. He walked me through on what exactly to say and worked out in the end. If one is going through a job-related issue, I highly recommend KSW lawyers and will be recommending them to my colleagues.
