Mr. Tanaka is the best family attorney that I have worked with. I have seen him multiple times over the past three years for legal advice and recently retained him to handle my custody case. Excellent communication throughout the process. When I initially filed for divorce, I hired one of the big firms and was essentially ignored for five months. Mr. Tanaka accomplished the same volume of work in less than a quarter of the time.

One For The Win
Mr. Tanaka assisted me in a Renters Right small claim that ended in a big way. During our initial consultation, Mr. Tanaka immediately understood that I had a case whilst other law offices insisted the law would side with rental company. Mr. Tanaka really listened to my concern/complaints; repeated what I said and answered my questions; stayed in communication; also is very affordable. During court, Mr. Tanaka was confident in his speaking; stayed on topic; asked ever qualified question; noticed the inconsistencies of the other party, and did not let up. He executed perfectly! We won the case and my justice was very much served. Thank you again for your assistance

Superb Consultation
I contacted Jonathan to ask about updating a will and thoughts on putting real property into trust. He has superb communication skills and never pushed me to hire. I received direct and helpful advice. With facts, I now weigh legal options. If that leads to hiring an attorney, the consulting experience will lead me back to Jonathan.

A genuine professional
Jonathan was extremely kind and responsive every question and I am so grateful to have him represent me. My case was very high stakes for me and he got me one of the best outcomes I could have hoped for. He was a responsible steward of my money and I can’t thank him and his team enough for helping me and keeping me informed every step of the way. My only regret is not finding him sooner.

Seeking Payment
Jonathon was informative and very helpful with guidance on how to proceed. He provided me some options on how to try resolve my issue on my own first and also provided options if my issue is not resolved without an attorney. I foresee needing his assistance, but I like that he was not pushy and assuming he would be hired. He sincerely left that option up to me.

Divorce attorney
Mr Jonathan, answered all my questions that I had throughout my divorce that arise and also help me with anything that I thought that could impact the outcome of my divorce. He responded to everything very quickly and in a timely manner I did not have to follow up with any of my questions cuz he was able to answer them right away and in words that I was able to understand.

Very Professional! He listened to my whole story and answered all my questions, plus more! Out of 9 attorneys I’ve spoke too in the past two weeks, here in central Texas, he has been the best one. I really appreciate him and his positivity. I recommend him 10 out of 10.

I did not know a lot about getting divorced and found myself needing representation. I had heard a lot of horror stories and rumors about the whole process, even possible outcomes and needed representation to get me through what should have been an uncontested divorce. I contacted Jonathon Tanaka and I was very pleased with the outcome of my divorce. Jonathon was patient and very accessible. I had a lot of questions and Jonathon helped me understand the process. Throughout the 15-month ordeal that was my divorce, Jonathon helped me navigate the legal landscape with confidence.

Excellent
Jonathan helped my family out with a child support, visitation and then adoption case. He was always professional, compassionate, and patient. He prepped me for hearings and helped me during hearings as needed. Jonathan and his staff were very helpful and answered all my questions with grace. They were always trying to look out for my/my child's best interests. He and his office staff were the best and I highly recommend them for any child support, visitation, and/or adoption needs. This has been the best lawyer experience I have had. I am extremely thankful for Jonathan and his staff.

mister Tanaka is a great attorney, I highly recommend it.
I would like to thank the law office of Thomas L. young, especially Mr. Tanaka for his help, MR Tanaka taught me a lot of things!! I didn't know anything at all about divorce and English is not my first language!! I speak French so for that, it was hard and I knew nothing !! I put them 5 stars if I could I would put them 10 stars they deserve !! their work is clean and sincere. thank you again mr Tanaka and his team !! thank you from the bottom of my heart and god bless you !!
