About me
"Most people who call us have never needed a lawyer before. The first thing I do is make it not scary."
M. Nakamura handles the firm’s highest volume of first calls — car crashes, falls, rideshare claims — and is usually the voice that tells a frightened caller, honestly, whether they have a case.
Fast, responsive and allergic to jargon. If you’ve been told you don’t have a case, M. is the second opinion worth getting.
