Excellent counsel

We retained Russell's services to help us deal with the negligent trustee of my aunt's estate. Russell was very clear about our options and the pros/cons of each option. His follow-through, responsiveness and attention to detail was excellent. The communication was consistent and clear throughout the... process. Russell's involvement was instrumental in getting the trustee to fulfill his duties (after almost 2 years of no progress). I would definitely recommend Russell - more importantly, I would not hesitate to retain his counsel again if needed.

Litigation

Russell Ozawa represented me in actions concerning a family members will. Mr. Osawa was always very professional and is extremely knowledgeable. Since I do not live in California, Mr. Ozawa and his staff kept me well informed on all aspects of my case. I developed a complete trust in his ability t...o handle my case with professionalism and honesty and to complete the case with efficiency. Mr. Ozawa always gave council that was fair to all concerned with the end result being an acceptable resolution of the issues and all disputes. Mr. Ozawa always worked with me and made me feel that I was his only client and that my case was his up most concern. He always took time to listen and consistently offered wise and helpful information and council.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked with Russell Ozawa, as he was opposing counsel on a highly contested conservatorship matter. Although our clients had dueling allegations against one another throughout the case, Mr. Ozawa was a consummate professional always open to solutions in furtherance of resolving the issues. He was forward thinking, efficient and was committed to sticking to the issues and finding a solution. Mr. Ozawa is professional, reasonable and a formidable opponent."
