Posted by John | October 01, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Smart, Efficient and Well-Versed

Kaori helped my fiancee and I through the complicated inner working of our prenuptial agreement, just days before we were to get married. She made herself available around the clock, was very well versed on the intricacies of prenuptial agreements, and effectively advised us towards a prenup that we'...re both very happy with. I've worked with and know other family lawyers who are the antithesis of this, and lawyers such as Kaori are a rare find.

Excellent Attorney Who Cares and Gets It Done

I retained Kaori and her firm from another state where my case was filed in Oregon. Boy, am I pleased with the decision of hiring them! Not only they offered me a very good legal strategy, the team's customer service was also great - they were quick to respond, including communication after hours; th...eir information was thorough and thoughtful. Not only were they professional, the team members were also very caring during this difficult time in my life. Without Kaori's service, my life would be must messier and more stressful. I would hire her team again a heart beat!

Posted by anonymous | June 23, 2014 | Child Custody

Calm and intelligence in an emotional and traumatic custody case

I retained Kaori to gain sole legal and physical custody of my 2 year old son. I was in the midst of managing a new independent consultant business, relocating out-of-state to be closer to my family, being a single parent and fighting a ridiculous custody battle with an erratic, irrational and deadb...eat ex. Kaori "got it" right away and focused on what was most important (the safety of me and my child) and took care of business. She knows how to navigate the system, stay focused on a strategy, support me emotionally...and win. With her expertise, I have custody of my son, and the judge also awarded me almost 75% of her attorney fees from the opposing. I am forever grateful for her availability and responsiveness, no-nonsense approach, focus and calm demeanor. She and her team got me through the most difficult year of my life. Without hesitation, I recommend her as highly as I can with words.

An Excellent Experience...

Kaori Tanabe is a consumate professional. I was going through a potentially complicated divorce, and Kaori was able to help me negotiate a settlement that I was very pleased with. She was very responsive, and was always able to respond to my questions or concerns. As well, she did an excellent job... presenting the benefits and risks of various strategies, enabling me to make an informed decision about my own case. To me, this is the sign of a excellent attorney!
