The history of Wang, Leonard & Condon is a story of courage, creativity and perseverance. In 1988, after successfully completing his Master's program in International Relations in Beijing, China, Zhidong "Z" Wang landed in New York with a mere $40.00 in his pocket but a wealth of dreams and a deep sense of self-determination. In less than eight years, Z had graduated from the University of Notre Dame Law School and with experience from law firms in New York, San Francisco and Chicago, realized his dream of starting his own law firm when he opened the doors to Z. Wang & Associates in Jan. 1996. In a few years, the firm was one of the most well-respected immigration and commercial law firms in the Midwest and home to a nationally-recognized leader in the Chinese community.

Z is one of less than 1 in 10,000 lawyers in the United States of Chinese origin. That alone speaks volumes of challenges he has overcome to reach his current status as one of the most trusted legal ambassadors to the Chinese community. In addition to being recognized in the Midwest as one of the top attorneys in the Asian community, he is also a nationally acclaimed immigration attorney. He is well published, often quoted and is considered a pioneer in the Chinese community for addressing its long standing demand for competent legal representation. Z's accomplishments are a direct result of his years of hard work and devotion to his craft.

In 2004, with the addition of two new principals, William J. Leonard and Gregory Thomas Condon, Z. Wang & Associates expanded its practice areas to include a broad spectrum of civil litigation along with a new name - Wang, Leonard & Condon. Despite the new name, the law firm remains largely a product of Z's initial vision - to practice law in a collegial environment where talented people function together as a team. The standard for excellence in legal practice set by the firm's founder has remained a constant as Wang, Leonard & Condon has grown and developed. The firm's continued success is a testament to the appeal of practicing law in an environment of congeniality and principle.
