Rina Nakagawa
Founding partner · Juvenile cases and records
Rina started the firm to give families a lawyer who explains the process before the first hearing, not after it. She takes juvenile cases and record petitions.
The three of us
Meet the lawyers who will have your file
Each of us has a different set of cases, but every file is open to all three. You will know who is in charge of yours from the first call.
Emeka Obiora
Partner · Assault cases and trials
Emeka tries the firm’s assault and weapons cases. He is the one who walks a client through what a witness is likely to say, and what we can ask back.
Tariq Mansour
Of counsel · White-collar cases
Tariq reads the paper trail in fraud, embezzlement and theft-by-deception cases, usually before anyone has been charged.
How we share a file
A weekly review of every open case
Every Monday the three of us sit down with the list of open cases. We read each case’s next date, the last thing filed and the thing we are waiting for.
That is how a client who calls on a Thursday gets a lawyer who already knows where things stand.
Which of us should you call?
Call the office and tell us the charge. Whoever fits it best will phone you back, and the others will still have your file.
