About Brad

Learn Brad’s areas of practice.

My success is measured in the real differences made to my clients quality of life. My objective is simple: to protect your interests. I take pride in knowing that 70% of new clients come from referrals from my clients.

Lawyers have a secret: 90% of cases settle. Many accident lawyers and employment lawyers are afraid of going to trial because they do not have trial experience. When you're at war, I am ready, able, and competent to take the case before a jury. I am a fighter pilot in the court room with battle scars.

Nearly 80% of American workers say they're living paycheck to paycheck while corporation makes billions. As an employment lawyer, I am proud to represent employees in court against unfair and unethical companies. I've represented billion-dollar companies and know their defense strategy.

We can agree that we choose health over money. As an accident lawyer since since 2005, I've represented injured clients; I've also defended major insurance companies. Insurance companies’ lawyers defend an estimated 90% percent of injury cases. I am well versed in insurance defense strategy.

Car accident lawyers' dirty secret: Do as little work as possible, settle quickly with the insurance company and take their 44% fee. Another secret: Insurance companies rarely settle the full value of a plaintiff's case.

Great employment and labor lawyer!
I am 62 years old and was discriminated for my age at my place of employment, where i was let go of. I came to Brad for his skills and experience in employment and labor law, he truly understands that people need to be respected and be treated fairly.

Great
Attorney Brad Nakase is determined and dedicated to achieving the best result for his clients. My family hired attorney Brad Nakase for over ten years in various matters from employment issues to car accident injury. We have seen Brad in court and action; he is articulate and always prepared with counter punches. We have gone to Brad with legal issues. Brad’s knowledge across various legal areas is outstanding. We have been pleased with the services provided and the responsiveness.

An absolute super star labor law attorney!
Mr Brad Nakase is not only kind and respectful, but thorough with his paperwork, always quick to call and respond, always available for questions and aggressive in the court room. He prepared my case from the beginning as if we were going to trial. As much as I hate saying this, he is one of the few lawyers I’ve met that is 100% honest and does not take advantage of his clients. Thank you Brad for fighting for me and winning my case, a huge weight has been lifted off my back

Brad Nakase is one of a kind, without a doubt. He is genuine, kind, and will do everything he can to help people. He does not intimidate or overwhelm, he does not pressure or try to make a sale like others do. He is compassionate, honest, and will truly fight for you with his great knowledge and experience. I can highly recommend Brad to my family, friends, and anyone who needs a helping hand.
