Law team with integrity and heart.

Nov. 2017, while our son was pursuing a career in law enforcement in NV, he received an earth shattering call from an officer in AZ. The officer informed our son that he had been accused of a felony crime, if he was found guilty according to AZ law he would automatically be sentenced to 15 to 25 year...s in prison. As a family we had no idea how to even begin to fight for our son’s innocence. We spoke with two other law firms before our son chose the Suzuki Law Office, this definitely was the best choice for our son. The overwhelming helplessness began with the first law team that our family met with, 50,000 dollars upfront was due and that was not including the fee if our son was officially charged. The second law team appeared uninterested and believed in leaving the complaint alone because typically within a year complaints tend to dissipate. Did I mention if the charge was filed, that our son would automatically go to jail? The thought of jail time for our son was heart wrenching and devastating to our family. All we could see were his dreams and aspirations and the hard work he had put in during trainings and school go up in smoke. Our son felt like his life was over before it even began. Feeling very defeated and knowing we could not share this with anyone since our son was just beginning his career in law enforcement, we called the Suzuki Law Office. Our son spoke to the office staff while I listened quietly on speaker, from there he was then transferred over to Don Keenom (DK), the private investigator, who spoke to our son and asked point blank questions about the alleged crime and our son answered honestly. I then spoke to DK, and he told me that when he hung up from talking to Ryan, he knew our son was innocent and he wanted this case. DK informed me he had been a police officer and in charge of the sexual assault unit in Scottsdale, AZ, and that he was a good judge of character and he could tell by talking to my son and his responses that he was innocent. I felt that my son didn’t just have one person behind him, that he had and entire team that believed in his innocence. During the ordeal the entire law team treated our son with respect and dignity. They answered his calls quickly and every single one of his questions were answered with honesty. Not once did I feel like my son was just client, he was more than that, DK spoke to my son as if he was part of his family. Mr. Suzuki made a trip to NV and met with my son and I to review some information which easily could have been reviewed over the phone. I immediately sensed his warmth and kindness towards my son. Mr. Suzuki spoke to my son and I with honesty and empathy and answered all our questions with forthrightness. When we finished our meeting with Mr. Suzuki, my son stood up to shake his hand and Mr. Suzuki instead hugged my son, and I knew then that we had made the right decision in choosing Mr. Suzuki and his team as our guiding force in proving our son’s innocence to the complaint filed against him. I definitely had tears in my eyes that day simply knowing that someone else believed in my son’s innocence. The Suzuki Law Office helped our son each step of the way, and their goal was to get the case dismissed by the DA. They worked tirelessly and even drove to NAU from Phoenix simply to pick up paperwork that would not be emailed to their office. I am so glad they were on my son’s side and believed in his innocence. I would recommend the Suzuki Law Office in a heartbeat, I truly believe that without their experience and heart that our son’s case never would have reached such a successful conclusion and proof that justice really does exist for those that are good and honest. It truly is possible for a law team to be professional, honest, show initiative and have integrity but most importantly to have heart and believe in their clients, if that is what you are looking for, I highly recommend Suzuki Law Office.

Above and Beyond

My case has been one of the most stressful situations of my life and Suzuki Law Offices made it manageable. They kept me informed every time there was new information and even checked in with me when there wasn't new information. Their confidence and reassurance kept me going forward with my life whi...le they took care of my case. Thanks to them I got through this troubling time and had a successful outcome. Thank you for everything Suzuki Law Offices. Would definitely recommend and return if needed in the future.

Arizona's Best Attorney and Law Firm

If you are looking for Arizona's best you are reading on him now. Richard Suzuki is not only a powerful, knowledgeable attorney that delivers. He is also a remarkable human being. Our family will only use Suzuki's law firm for any legal matter. Recently one of our family members was facing a very com...plex federal court case with possible maximum sentencing. We were perplexed because we did not understand the entirety of the case and not feasible for us to comprehend in full. Richard Suzuki took the time to patiently explain thoroughly to myself and my limited English speaking parents in their native language Spanish. Furthermore, he would personally call us to keep us posted throughout the entire process. He makes himself approachable which is a rare trait for an attorney of his caliber. Never seizing to amaze us with his professionalism, moral, integrity and honesty. Always prompt and gave us comfort and support beyond measure. He is very strong in protecting his clients with diligence. His reputable stature is supported by the countless people he has helped and the positive testimonies. The courts ruling pertaining to our loved one was that of a miracle, dropping from years of maximum sentencing to minimal sentencing, meaning only months. I am convinced that God truly put RJ in our path. Put yourself in the hands of the best if you are facing any degree of legalities. No other attorney will fight as aggressively and passionately for you. Your freedom and family matters. You will be glad you did.

A BEACON OF LIGHT

Truly a top notch attorney. Richard Suzuki from Suzuki Law Offices helped me when I needed them most. I was charged with federal felonies that carried mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison. Thinking I could make quick money my friend and I were caught crossing drugs into the U.S from Mexico. Tha...nk God I had an attorney that worked hard for me. Richard worked many hours in my case. He was there when I needed questions answered. In court, he aggressively but professionally helped the judge see that I was a good person, who had never been in trouble but had made a horrible mistake. My friend, who did not use Suzuki Law Office, unfortunately got over 5 years of federal prison. Richard fought for me at sentencing and I received only probation. Richard Suzuki was the beacon of light I needed in my darkest times.

Exceptional Law Firm

I retained the Suzuki Law Firm to represent me in a potentially life altering legal matter. Richard and his team exuded professionalism and respect. They were discrete and without judgement. They were straightforward, highly responsive and did an exceptional job of explaining the facts and procedures... of the complex legal system. They helped make a very difficult ordeal a little easier and I felt like I had a very strong team of experts behind me. I would highly recommend them.
