Karen Nakagawa helped me tremendously with family law matters when i was an exhausted and overwhelmed new parent. Her efficient, common sense approach and her kindness to us during a stressful time was so appreciated. Recently I worked with Karen again on medical and legal decision making documents.... She has made this process simple for me with her vast procedural knowledge and insight, as well as her patience in working around my busy, last-minute schedule. Karen is professional but also down to earth, and just so wonderful to work with.

I was referred to Karen Nakagawa by staff at a Seattle Hospital. I called her while at the hospital and she provided me with excellent advise over the phone. Many months later, when my mom passed - I called Karen - and she remembered us. We were so glad she agreed to work with our family to deal ...with the legal issues around death, wills, probate, etc. We had no idea what to do - and Karen patiently explained things, walked us through the steps, and provided us with multiple options when barriers arose. Our situation was complicated - with seven children around the US - none residing in Washington, mom's home with a mortgage, high medical bills added as lien to her home, changes in our family status, etc. Karen stuck with us, guiding us with compassion, respect and great legal intellect. After going through this process together, she feels like family!
