This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very efficient and friendly attorney

We had an issue that was out of our families control and Mr. Murakami came recommended from a few people we knew. I contacted him, he sat down with the wife and I, and was able to resolve the issues we had in a fair and honest way. For any other matters we will use him again and highly recommend hi...m.

Courteous, Mostly Professional, But Didn't Return Phone Calls

Mr. Murakami was courteous and professional in his office setting, but on more than one occasion after I'd hired him, I called the office regarding a couple of fairly straightforward questions, and he never returned my calls. I understand attorneys are busy, but he could have at least had his parale...gal or other staff call me to try to help if he couldn't. Also, he was unable to appear in court with me, and had a colleague appear in his place. I just wish he would have called ahead to notify me of this to see if I wanted to wait for him, because I was used to him instead of having someone I had never met before show up in his place. The colleague was professional in court, and things went fairly well at the time. However, a debtor that I thought had been dissolved have been showing up on paper that should not be. I realize the legal landscape can be ever-changing and this event may not be the fault of Mr. Murakami.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Murakami for several matters over the past few years. He and his firm have provided excellent representation in court, and with great success. I'm totally happy and have 100% confidence in him as an attorney. He will be the first one I call again if I have future legal needs.

Financial Help

I have retained Mr. Murakami for several years and have been impressed by his reliability and willingness to help in both transactions and legal matters. He has been quick to respond and maintained open communication throughout all of my years using his law firm. He is the only lawyer that I trust to... handle my issues.
