Liane exceeded all expectations. And then some. I've hired "high-end" attorneys in the past that charged a significant amount of money. Their performance ranged from mediocre to good. Liane was the first attorney I've ever worked with that was excellent and WORTH EVERY PENNY. She navigated a complex case both legally and personally. She understood the law and seamlessly navigated its intricacies. Ultimately, Liane favorably resolved our case in a matter of months. Liane has become and will remain our go-to lawyer. If you're debating using another attorney, don't make the same mistake I did. I went through two seemingly high-powered males for this matter prior to Liane. They were described as "nuclear" within the community. Instead, they turned out to be anything but... If you have high standards and want them met, look no further.

Hiring Liane was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. After losing my husband almost four years ago, a friend recommended that I seek help from Liane's previous law firm. I was fortunate enough to get Liane and her team and I have never looked back. There are many things that I can say about Liane but there are four that best represent her. They are honor, courage, commitment and she is always well prepared. I use the word honor because of her high moral standards. She will be honest in every phase of your case. In court she exhibits confidence and courage. Her commitment to her profession as well as her clients is what makes her a cut above the rest. I always feel complete peace when she represents me in court because she keeps me informed of the important issues and she is so well prepared. I would highly recommend Liane and her team to anyone. She is the best lawyer in Las Vegas.

I have had the fortune of working with Liane on several matters. She has consistently impressed me as hitting all the marks of a truly excellent attorney. She is extremely responsive to client communications (which, surprisingly, continues to be a rare trait among lawyers), her knowledge of the law is very strong, and she is reasonable in her approach (i.e., she doesn't overbill or make hollow promises) while having the backbone to litigant when needed. In my years of working with lawyers, Liane has stood out as truly exceptional. I have no reservations about recommending her and would send my most important work her way.

If you are reading this review, stop right now and hire Liane ASAP. She’s the best at what she does by far- it’s really that simple. While the circumstances that brought me to Liane were unfortunate, she navigated a complex situation that had high stakes for me both financially and emotionally with impeccable skill and integrity. She gave me the best pragmatic advice, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. A matter that could have dragged out for years was definitively resolve in a matter of months. I look back on this legal predicament with fondness only because of Liane. She gave me the certainty and peace that the outcome was the best possible situation due to her tireless work on my behalf, advocating for me at every juncture, and using her experience/skills to be proactive and anticipate my needs. You won't regret having her in your corner- I promise!

You won't find another lawyer who will care about your case, or work as hard, as Liane. A consummate professional, Liane is honest and caring, yet disciplined, tough, and driven to win. She has succeeded in litigation against some of the best, hard-nosed and aggressive attorneys in the industry, and she can hold her own with any attorney. I worked with Liane for 13 years, and I am seriously going to miss her.

Hiring Ms Wakamaya was the best decision I’ve ever made- I wish I would have found her initially rather than wasted time and money with 3 other attorneys prior to her. She is incredibly smart and dedicated; she was always available to answer questions and guide me through the legal litigation process. The outcome was better than I ever anticipated and I would recommend her to anyone needing legal representation.
