Mari lise Matsumoto
I have been represented by Mari Matsumoto for over a year. She has handle my case diligently and vigorously, having me feel assured by always consulting me with addition approaches we may consider if needed. Mrs. Matsumoto thoroughly looks into every possible solutions. Not once was there a sign of inadequate. A rear immigration layer and a privilege to have been represented by Mari Matsumoto. A case that took 8 years to prevail with 3 other attorneys before her service and she did it in less than 2 years alone.
