This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Divorce is never easy - but it can be made less traumatic.

While I thought this would be easy and even considered not hiring an attorney as everything seemed straight forward with no contest, what came to light very early on is that my husband’s attorney was incompetent, reckless and sloppy with his work. While my husband had paid 5x the amount that I was p...aying, Mary Sakaguchi caught numerous mistakes which would have led to a prolonged divorce process. Her careful eye to detail and attention prevented that from happening and expedited the whole process which actually made me less fearful and the entire process less traumatic. I cannot convey how much this impacted me in a positive way. I am grateful for her immense knowledge of the law and watching out for my best interest all the while communicating with compassion and kindness. I highly recommend Ms. Sakaguchi and her entire team! Thank you!

Recommended, without reservation

People who seek the help of divorce lawyers are at their most vulnerable, often struggling with almost impossible circumstances. And there are many practitioners in this industry who methodically take full advantage of their plight; those jackals only want your money. The trick isn't finding a practi...tioner who has a decent grasp of family law; it's finding someone with a formidable grasp of it, but who puts ethics, wisdom and integrity above billing. Mary Sakaguchi is not only a very experienced and competent family law professional who dedicated herself completely to understanding and working my case, she brought a quiet compassion and what I sensed to be a devotion to something higher -- perhaps it is simply integrity. My case was resolved satisfactorily. And my family just maybe found peace on the other side of disharmony. Mary is a fine attorney. And she's honest. And she works hard. This was my experience.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
