He is especially adept in the Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 arenas where he helps individuals protect their homes, cars and other assets. Mr. Stong is a highly respected advocate in court and enjoys using his quick oral advocacy skills in front of the judges. Mr. Stong is passionate about his client's rights, but commands the respect from his adversaries due to his outgoing personality and pleasant disposition.

He joined Simon & Resnik LLP in 2007 which became RHM LAW LLP in 2018. Prior to working for RHM LAW LLP, Mr. Stong represented financial institutions in fraud actions as a creditor's attorney.

This experience also allowed Mr. Stong to argue matters in front of all the Central District Bankruptcy Court judges, which enables him to know the patterns and practice of each Bankruptcy Judge.

Prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Stong practiced commercial real estate leasing/sales/marketing services including search analysis and lease negotiation. He represented both landlord and tenant interests from site location to final occupancy.

Mr. Stong is a member of the Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys Association.
