NOT JUST A LAWYER OFF TO A GREAT START!!

Posted by

I live in a different state and had to hire an attorney for my son. I contacted almost every office listed on Google. After speaking to Rick Orozco, I decided to hire them. I can not say enough about how grateful I am for him helping me and my son thus far and it has only been a couple weeks. I have to say I was a skeptic when he said they treat you like family, but Rick has been my sons guardian angel since I cant be there he has even taken the time out on a Sunday evening when he did not have too. I am curious to see how good they are dealing with the legalities if they are this good just showing they care. Thanks again Rick I am extremely grateful.

My Case

Posted by

I have never needed a Lawyer before, and came into contact with Mr. Suzuki to help me with an issue. This was the best decision I ever made! Mr. Susuki was extremely friendly and always available to talk with about anything. He and his team worked very quick to get my issue resolved and I am very grateful for him. I will be coming back if I ever need anything in the future. Thank you so much.

Great Service!

Posted by

We contacted Mr. Suzuki for a potential legal matter. He immediately scheduled a meeting and talked us through the process. Knowing the significance of the matter we retained his firm to assist us. Mr. Suzuki and investigator DK quickly went to work. In the end, we averted any legal action due to their efforts. They were responsive to every call and followed through on everything they promised. This was a stress-free process and a great value for what they accomplished. I would recommend Suzuki Law Offices to anyone who needs legal advice.

Suzuki Firm, Colin O'Sullivan

Posted by

I was told by multiple people this firm was the best in the Phoenix area. Now I can see why they have that reputation. Colin O'Sullivan was assigned my case due to his expertise. Colin worked hard for me and my family and put in the time and effort to achieve a great outcome; way better than expected! 4Fs to 3Ms. THANK YOU!!!

My daughter was facing 5-6 years in jail she is pregnant and has 3 other kids that needed her and is now here for them. If I was to want to refer any of you to any lawyer it would definitely be this lawyer. I love them. My daughter and I owe them our life's because of them my daughter has her life back she is back at home and she has her kids with her and her brace off her leg. If I was to Be in this issue again I wouldn't go to any other lawyer other then them. They are awesome they know what they are doing and they know how to do their job the way it's supposed to. They got 2 of her courts dismissed and her last one is due to getting dismissed. I love these people and I owe them everything thanks to Rick Orozco, Jaime, Dave Ryan, and Don Keeno. They are all awesome and I owe them big time. To all you people if you wanna pick any lawyer I'd advise it to be them. Thank you all lots of love and care P.S my daughter said thank you very much and that you guys are the best.

I want to thank Seth Apfel his assistant Zach Doyle and the whole Suzuki Law Team for doing a great job for me. Seth and Zach were very helpful and on top of things from the start. They also followed up with great advice and made me see that they are the law team and get paid for a reason. I also want to say thank you to Dave Ryan who worked with me with my payments and didn’t pressure me. They were good and fair and treated me respectfully. I will recommend this firm to everyone. Thank you

I came in for a consultation with Michael and David. Both of these gentlemen spent an hour and a half explaining in detail all my questions and concerns. Completely satisfied and highly recommend. Felt like family while I was there. Thank you both for your time and knowledge.

DEDICATION

Posted by

My nephew was recently incarcerated in a Maricopa County jail. He called me to find a lawyer for him in Phoenix. I should note here that I am in Pennsylvania. I called Suzuki Law on a Sunday afternoon. I first spoke with Dave Ryan, who coordinated a jail visit/court date between my nephew and Brad Smith for the following day. I spoke with both of these gentlemen several times who called me across the country to keep me informed every step of the way. In the end, my nephew got released and their services were not required. Do you know what they did? They refunded my credit card in full for their original fee!! I know that if I ever visit Phoenix, I will be looking them up to shake their hands and say my heartfelt thank you again in person.

I worked for RJ at Suzuki Law Offices. He is organized, knowledgeable, and resourceful. He takes care of his employees and he takes special care of his clients. He makes sure that all the lawyers in his firm are producing quality representation, and he works hard to obtain his clients the best results. RJ is a man of his word. I consider him a mentor and a trusted colleague. I would refer him and his firm to anyone who is in need of quality representation.
