I came to Suzuki Law Firm for a minor potential legal situation brought on by a divorce. Investigator Gene Kutz was instrumental in advising me how to handle the situation, and was an extremely effective liaison between myself and law-enforcement.
Gene was always prompt to return my calls, and kept me up-to-date on the matter. I could not have asked for a better resolution.

Suzuki did a great job handling my auto accident. I can't thank Charlene enough for her help navigating me through the process. I will be sure to refer Suzuki to anyone who may need representation. Thank you.

Richard Suzuki and Charlene were fantastic! After my mother’s vehicle was totaled in an accident they acted quickly to get her into physical therapy so she could start recovering as soon as possible. Then they got her the maximum possible settlement! They were very communicative throughout the process, checking in to make sure she was okay all throughout, and their fee was excessively reasonable given the standard of service they provided. Richard Suzuki will be my first call for any and all legal services I may require!
