Karen Nakagawa

Karen is a wonderfully knowledgeable and effective attorney. I chose her to handle an estate resolution based upon the recommendation of a friend’s lawyer. All the way through a lengthy process, she responded in the most efficient and helpful ways, saving me time, money and—most importantly—energy ...in every step of a legal situation that turned out to be far more complicated than I could ever have anticipated. I’m grateful to her…and recommend her to friends on a regular basis.

Karen helped me close my mother's estate. My siblings and I are all on good terms so the closing wasn't contentious, but it was emotionally taxing. I'm so thankful for Karen's help in explaining the process, walking me through the deliverables and gently prodding me to stay on track. Not my favori...te job, but I'd hire Karen in a heartbeat if I ever have to do something like this again. If you need someone in your corner and circumstances have you at less than your best, Karen is a wonderful ally to have in your corner. I'm deeply grateful for her compassion, expertise and diligence. Thank you Karen. -Mike

Karen helped my wife and I with a known donor agreement and she was so incredibly easy to work with! She served as an advocate for LGBT rights and our rights as future parents. Her knowledge of reproductive law helped us to feel good about all the terms of the agreement. We took a long time to make ...our decisions and Karen was extremely patient. This was such an easy process that we consider Karen our family's lawyer now.

Unless you are familiar with law, working with an attorney can be intimidating. However, our experience with Karen has been extremely easy. We hired her for the guardianship process for my mother diagnosed with dimentia and then upon her passing we also hired her to walk us through and handle issue...s through the probate process. Karen took the time to go over every detail and is extremely patient and diligent in explaining procedures. All of our conversations were on a personal level like talking with a family member. She works hard and called us one Saturday for clarification on issues. She claimed she was having fun working on a weekend. All of the filings were on time, accurate and very reasonable cost wise. So if you’re seeking an attorney for guardianship or family matters, I without a doubt would recommend her for counsel and representation. Truly an honest, respectful and trustworthy attorney.
