Divorce Attorney

I would not recommend hiring Adam. Throughout the time he represented me, he regularly did not contact me with information, which led to issues with the courts. In my opinion Adam is not qualified to go to court or deal with Opposing Council. The biggest mistake I made was hiring Adam. Do not mak...e the same mistake.

Mr. Kawaguchi

Excellent -Professional presence -responsive to questions and resolving issues Good understanding of legal maneuverings however I am believe there were different avenues we could have explored to resolve this case as other than domestic dispute i.e. a partition of property. Having said this I a...m completely satisfied with the outcome.

Awesome and gets the job done!

Outstanding human and lawyer. Mr. Kawaguchi was recommended to me by a coworker and she was very pleased with her outcome on her case. I’m so glad I decided to eventually hire Mr. Kawaguchi. He’s amazing, very helpful and at such a terrible point in my life he’s calmness and knowledge was a saving gr...ace. I cannot thank him and his team enough for what they have done for me. I’m very pleased with my outcome and would recommend him to my family, friends and anyone in need of such services. Beyond grateful and happy! Thank you! Thank you for all you’ve done!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
