Testimonials
It has been a while. I hope you are doing well. I am truly grateful for all the help and support you have given me this year with so many different matters. No matter how many times I say thank you, it will never be enough.
I once heard in a drama that the law is not meant to judge people, but to protect them. I do not understand difficult things, but recently I have been careful with my actions and working diligently every day.
I am sure I will need your assistance again in the future, and I look forward to your continued support. They say that health is more valuable than wealth, so please take good care of your sleep, health, and diet.
I sincerely wish you all the best for the coming year as well.

Dear Attorney Togi,
Thank you very much for your help. Today, I safely received the check. I truly appreciate your sending it via FedEx.
Once again, I cannot thank you enough for taking on my case. Living in the United States, I felt it was difficult to find a kind and trustworthy attorney. I feel very fortunate that I was able to have your support.
Thank you so much!

When my husband, who was living in the United States, passed away, I had no knowledge or preparation regarding inheritance matters. That was when I first met Attorney Togi. I was nervous at the beginning, but I remember feeling greatly reassured as he listened to me with such kindness. After that, he guided the process smoothly while always considering the best way forward.
After I had already asked for his help, I later read his profile and philosophy on his website — and they described him exactly as he truly is. I feel so fortunate to have met him.
Thank you very much.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to commend and recommend the legal services of Ryosuke Togi, Esq. Mr. Togi assisted me with preparing a will, and with other matters of inheritance. My situation was complicated because I fall under the jurisdiction of two countries, Japan and the United States, that have very different inheritance laws. Mr. Togi is extremely knowledgable about the law in both of those countries. He provided thorough and reliable advice. He took the time to comprehensively investigate my situation, prepare the relevant documents, and make sure that I was executing documents properly. While he took the time to get things right, he also struck the right balance with moving things along in an expeditious manner. He was patient with my many questions, and always replied promptly and professionally. He made himself assessable, both in person and by email and remote conferencing, so I was able to work with him efficiently even while I was overseas. Because of his assistance, I feel that my complex situation is now settled, and have the. confidence and peace of mind that comes from having my affairs in order. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Togi, and would not hesitate to approach him for legal advice and services in the future.

感謝しても感謝しても云いつくしきれません。
法は人を裁くのではなく、守るために定められていると、何かのドラマで云っています。

戸木先生、お世話になっております。
今日、無事にチェックを受け取りました。
FEDEXで送ってくださり、ありがとうございました。
改めて、私のケースを引き受けてくださって、本当に感謝しきれません。
アメリカ在住で、親切で信頼できる弁護士の先生と出会うのは難しいと感じていた中、
今回、戸木先生にお願いできたことは、とてもラッキーだったと思っております。
どうもありがとうございました!
アメリカ在住の夫が亡くなった時、相続のことなど知識も準備もない中で戸木先生に初めてお会いしました。最初は緊張しましたが、親身に話を聞いてくださりとても安心したのを覚えています。その後も良い方向を考えながらスムーズに進めてくださいました。
ご依頼したあとで、プロフィールや考え方などをWebページで拝見しましたが、まさにそのとおりのお人柄!出会えて良かったです。
本当にありがとうございました。
