This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

High fees, incomplete work, not client centered

We hired Mr . Suzuki to do trusts for my husband and me and a third party trust for our son. Mr. Suzuki was referred to us as a specialist in that field. We hired him during covid which may be part of the issue, but we found him cold, difficult to communicate with, and VERY expensive. He charged us o...ver $6500 to create our trusts but then refused to help determine if the paperwork had been executed correctly (because of covid we were not allowed in their office and we were working with different notaries in different countries -- at great expense). His office also refused guide us in funding our trust. We now have to pay another attorney to do it. My advice is to use Sterling and Tucker -- they are much better to deal with, are specialists, care about their clients, and follow you through until your expensive document is complete. We have spent a lot of money and have nothing of value to show for it.

Top Notch Trust Law Firm

Scott did an outstanding job of informing us and preparing for us the best "Trust" scenario for my parents. He saw to it that our entire Family's best interests were taken into account. Asset protection and future health care objectives were all taken into account. I truly appreciate the efforts a...nd the Professionalism exhibited by his Firm! I would definitely recommend this outstanding individual to one and all!

Scott was referred to me by my financial planner. It took a while to get a consult but he was definitely worth the wait. Really knows his stuff and was very patient with my family who had so many questions. Gave us different options and mapped out each plan thoroughly for us. Very friendly sta...ff and overall comfortable to work with.
