John C. Kakinuki

Attorney John Kakinuki tremendously helped me with my divorce proceedings. He said divorce wasn’t his specialty but mine was an international marriage and he is expert in international work and was recommended by mutual friends in our church, so he worked hard to make sure everything went right.... He provided me with excellent service. He gave me a lot of professional advised as to how and what I should expect from the court. He is very very professional, very knowledgeable. I was so impressed by his work ethics. My case went quick and smoothly because he paid attention to all the details and paperwork’s required by the court. Honestly at that time I don’t care about anything. Divorce was a nightmare for me. All I know is I just want it done and get over it. Even today when I should forget the proceedings. I still recall how Attorney John Kakinuki treated my case very well. He gained my respect and admiration because he was not only there to represent but he also gave me emotionally support and I felt it. He is such a great lawyer with integrity and a big heart. If you need legal advice or question I will definitely, highly recommend Attorney John Kakinuki and you will not regret it.

I was referred to John Kakinuki by a  former colleague from the Baker & Mackenzie law firm. He was recommended as a professional with great integrity and an impressive history of experience in litigation and Intellectual Property both in the US and in Japan. Even though my case was not related to ...intellectual property, John Kakinuki agreed to meet me and advise me about a case in Japan involving my family. From the very first meeting, I was impressed by his compassion and sense of justice as he provided me valuable advice at no charge.  Mr. Kakinuki demonstrated a profound knowledge of the Japanese justice system and Japanese lawyers' work ethics. He speaks with the confidence of many years of professional experience with litigation in Japan and in the US. John Kakinuki reached out to his network of law professionals in Japan and procured a Japanese lawyer that spoke English and was willing to work for my family (who actually lives in Brazil). This was an enoumous help given the fact that the majority of Japanese lawyers will not work for foreigners. Mr. Kakinuki kindly initiated our first contact with the lawyer in Japan and helped us get started with our case.  I would highly recommend John Kakinuki as a lawyer. He is an impressive litigator who presents arguments and facts based on knowledge and experience when giving advice. I have great respect and admiration for his professionalism.

I have worked with John Kakinuki on various legal matters for a number of years. I have found his character and integrity are beyond reproach. His legal skills are top notch. I have seen him handle new legal matters with professionalism and skill. He has always produced excellent legal work product. ...I would recommend him without hesitation or qualification.
