Karen Nakagawa is a highly knowledgeable, patient, and honest. Our family hired Karen to assist us with the guardianship process. She came highly recommended by one of my brother’s teachers and we have no regrets. She made the process very clear for my family and I. And because of that we decided that we wanted to hire Karen as our lawyer.

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.

Karen recently helped my create a detailed roadmap for my estate planning. I was greatly impressed by her experience, knowledge of the law and her listening skills. She is extremely articulate and very thorough. I highly recommend her legal services.

Karen facilitated my divorce a couple years ago. Our divorce was uncontested, but overall still a very difficult time. Our brief meetings with Karen were among the few pleasant and easy moments of the process. I felt comfortable asking questions. Her office space was comfortable, the people friendly, and the information she gave was clear, objective, and easy to follow. Karen gave us pens, which became a slightly weird keepsake for me. Some of these details seem superficial, but it had a meaningful impact that her office was comfortable, clean, and a nice view. And it had a bigger impact, of course, that she facilitated the final, legal, steps of the process in a way that made everything feel okay. I would highly recommend Karen for legal advice and assistance, through a positive or difficult times.

In the grief and fog of losing a parent, Karen provided a kind and professional service in making sure estate matters were handled in a dignified manner. She educated us on what we needed to do and represented us well with the legal issues - always keeping our best interests at the forefront.

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.

My family hired Karen to help with closing an estate. After our initial meeting, I was confident that we chose the right lawyer. She explained every step of the process, from what we needed to do now, and the timeline of what was going to happen later. She guided us every step of the way, was excellent at communicating, and quickly responded when we emailed her questions. I have already recommended her to a friend and will happily continue to recommend her services.

Karen, Just a small note to let you know how much your dedication, energy, and professionalism (to my case) contributed to a successful outcome for my mom and by extension, me. Your candor, experience, and passion was above and beyond my expectations. You are a consummate professional that truly cares about your client’s case, but you even go beyond this by showing compassion and understanding...a recipe of profound importance to your clients and a model for other attorneys to follow.

Karen is a rare find in a sea of attorneys. I feel so blessed to have found her. I have used her personally and I have recommended her to numerous clients. First, she is ethical and one of the most honest people I have encountered. She is brilliant at seeing ALL sides of the equation so she can easily set up your 'best case scenario' . She is a joy to work with, smart, on the ball, resourceful, quick and timely. Karen is exceptionally organized and she understands sensitive subjects with a rare combination of compassion and intelligence. I never leave reviews, but thought she was so exceptional I thought others should know about her as well.

I would highly recommend Karen for legal advice and assistance, through a positive or difficult times.

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.

My family hired Karen to help with closing an estate. After our initial meeting, I was confident that we chose the right lawyer. She explained every step of the process, from what we needed to do now, and the timeline of what was going to happen later. She guided us every step of the way, was excellent at communicating, and quickly responded when we emailed her questions. I have already recommended her to a friend and will happily continue to recommend her services.

Karen, Just a small note to let you know how much your dedication, energy, and professionalism (to my case) contributed to a successful outcome for my mom and by extension, me. Your candor, experience, and passion was above and beyond my expectations. You are a consummate professional that truly cares about your client’s case, but you even go beyond this by showing compassion and understanding...a recipe of profound importance to your clients and a model for other attorneys to follow.

Karen is a rare find in a sea of attorneys. I feel so blessed to have found her. I have used her personally and I have recommended her to numerous clients. First, she is ethical and one of the most honest people I have encountered. She is brilliant at seeing ALL sides of the equation so she can easily set up your 'best case scenario' . She is a joy to work with, smart, on the ball, resourceful, quick and timely. Karen is exceptionally organized and she understands sensitive subjects with a rare combination of compassion and intelligence. I never leave reviews, but thought she was so exceptional I thought others should know about her as well.

Karen Nakagawa is a highly knowledgeable, patient, and honest. Our family hired Karen to assist us with the guardianship process. She came highly recommended by one of my brother’s teachers and we have no regrets. She made the process very clear for my family and I. And because of that we decided that we wanted to hire Karen as our lawyer.

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.

Karen facilitated my divorce a couple years ago. Our divorce was uncontested, but overall still a very difficult time. Our brief meetings with Karen were among the few pleasant and easy moments of the process. I felt comfortable asking questions. Her office space was comfortable, the people friendly, and the information she gave was clear, objective, and easy to follow. Karen gave us pens, which became a slightly weird keepsake for me. Some of these details seem superficial, but it had a meaningful impact that her office was comfortable, clean, and a nice view.

Karen is a rare find in a sea of attorneys. I feel so blessed to have found her. I have used her personally and I have recommended her to numerous clients. First, she is ethical and one of the most honest people I have encountered. She is brilliant at seeing ALL sides of the equation so she can easily set up your 'best case scenario' . She is a joy to work with, smart, on the ball, resourceful, quick and timely. Karen is exceptionally organized and she understands sensitive subjects with a rare combination of compassion and intelligence. I never leave reviews, but thought she was so exceptional I thought others should know about her as well.

Karen Nakagawa is a highly knowledgeable, patient, and honest. Our family hired Karen to assist us with the guardianship process. She came highly recommended by one of my brother’s teachers and we have no regrets. She made the process very clear for my family and I. And because of that we decided that we wanted to hire Karen as our lawyer.

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.

Karen recently helped my create a detailed roadmap for my estate planning. I was greatly impressed by her experience, knowledge of the law and her listening skills. She is extremely articulate and very thorough. I highly recommend her legal services.

Karen facilitated my divorce a couple years ago. Our divorce was uncontested, but overall still a very difficult time. Our brief meetings with Karen were among the few pleasant and easy moments of the process. I felt comfortable asking questions. Her office space was comfortable, the people friendly, and the information she gave was clear, objective, and easy to follow. Karen gave us pens, which became a slightly weird keepsake for me. Some of these details seem superficial, but it had a meaningful impact that her office was comfortable, clean, and a nice view. And it had a bigger impact, of course, that she facilitated the final, legal, steps of the process in a way that made everything feel okay. I would highly recommend Karen for legal advice and assistance, through a positive or difficult times.

In the grief and fog of losing a parent, Karen provided a kind and professional service in making sure estate matters were handled in a dignified manner. She educated us on what we needed to do and represented us well with the legal issues - always keeping our best interests at the forefront.

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.

My family hired Karen to help with closing an estate. After our initial meeting, I was confident that we chose the right lawyer. She explained every step of the process, from what we needed to do now, and the timeline of what was going to happen later. She guided us every step of the way, was excellent at communicating, and quickly responded when we emailed her questions. I have already recommended her to a friend and will happily continue to recommend her services.

Karen, Just a small note to let you know how much your dedication, energy, and professionalism (to my case) contributed to a successful outcome for my mom and by extension, me. Your candor, experience, and passion was above and beyond my expectations. You are a consummate professional that truly cares about your client’s case, but you even go beyond this by showing compassion and understanding...a recipe of profound importance to your clients and a model for other attorneys to follow.
