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 i...nadequate. 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.

Avvo Rating

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.
