"Our experience with Suzuki Law Offices was nothing less than excellent. Rj and the rest of the staff were caring, ethical, innovative, and brilliant. We had never needed a lawyer in this capacity before so the whole process was new to me and my family. When we did have questions, the responses were always very thoughtful and thorough. They were able to negotiate my daughter's medical bills to a lower amount."
