Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThis time, I consulted about an accident involving my child's bicycle and a company car driven by a foreign national.
Because the other party was a foreign national, the discussions were not progressing, and at one point they even claimed not to know about the accident, which left us at a loss.
After consulting with the attorney, the discussions were mediated successfully, which was a tremendous help.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsI was in pain from the traffic accident and was going to the hospital, but after three months, the other party's insurance company told me to stop, and I could not accept it, so I used my lawyer special clause. Being my first accident and first time working with a lawyer, I was more anxious than anything, but they completely erased all of my anxiety by being empathetic and providing expert advice. I felt I could entrust everything to this attorney.
As a result, my treatment period was extended, and I was able to receive workers' loss compensation that I was told would not be paid. It felt like all the effort of adjusting work and household duties and going to the hospital despite the pain was worthwhile.
I still have some pain remaining, but I am satisfied financially, and above all, I am very satisfied with the attorney's response.
I had been somewhat afraid of lawyers, but they were the most empathetic, and I found them to be extremely reliable and trustworthy both emotionally and legally. Thank you very much for your time during such a busy period.

If I had just left things to the insurance company, I would have lost over 300,000 yen...
I am truly glad. Thank you very much.
If anything comes up in the future, I would like to rely on you again.
Thank you to the attorneys in charge — Attorney Beppu, Attorney Yotsumoto, and Attorney Mihara.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsAttorneys Beppu, Mihara, and Yotsumoto — thank you very much for your help with the traffic accident personal injury claim. I am grateful for the satisfactory outcome.
I did not know whether the amount initially proposed by the insurance company was fair.

Thank you very much. I wish your firm continued prosperity.

I believe that hiring a lawyer is the best course of action when an accident occurs.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsI am truly glad I decided to retain a lawyer this time.
Thank you very much.
I had assumed that accident negotiations would be handled between insurance companies and was planning to leave it to them. However, I learned that in a 10:0 no-fault accident, it would be a negotiation between me as an individual and the other party's insurance company.
Having bought a new car just one year before the accident, the shock, confusion, and various responses left me exhausted, so I decided to entrust the settlement negotiations to the attorney. I was able to settle for an amount that included the diminished value of the car, which I probably could not have obtained on my own, as well as a personal injury compensation amount that exceeded my expectations. The settlement was handled swiftly, and I am very happy that everything was resolved within the year. I am grateful.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsIt was only a one-day consultation, but they were very empathetic. At first, I had a somewhat intimidating impression, but in the end, they treated me very kindly. They also gave me advice on a separate matter, even though no attorney fees were involved. Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you for responding to this accident matter with such care.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you for everything.
Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you for negotiating with the other party over such a long period.
If we had been on our own, we would not have known how to negotiate from the initial offer and would have given up.

This experience taught us how difficult traffic accidents are, both financially and emotionally.
Going forward, both of us will strive for safe driving.
If anything comes up, please do not hesitate to help.

I have had enough of traffic accidents, but if anything comes up, I would not hesitate to retain this firm. Thank you so much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThis was my first traffic accident, and I had no idea about costs or compensation, but thanks to the attorneys, I was able to receive more compensation than I had expected with very little effort.

I am also very grateful that we were able to obtain a settlement amount that we were satisfied with for both property damage and personal injury compensation. It has been two years since the accident, and with a Grade 14-9 residual disability certification, my body has been affected and I cannot push myself, but I intend to live the rest of my life taking care of my health.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you very much for handling the legal representation for my traffic accident compensation claim that occurred last summer.
A senior colleague at work who had previously used the attorneys' services advised me that it would be impossible for a layperson to negotiate compensation on their own and that I should rely on a lawyer if my insurance included a lawyer special clause. That is how I was introduced to your firm.
I visited the office only once for the initial consultation, and after that, all communications with the other party's insurance company and my own were handled entirely by the attorneys. Subsequent communications to me were limited to phone calls and letters, which reduced both my physical and mental burden tremendously.
In my case, the emotional shock from the traffic accident was greater than the physical injuries, and even nearly a year later, the fear still prevents me from driving again.
Given this emotional state, if I had been directly negotiating with the insurance company — which constantly reminded me of the accident — I would have been exhausted and likely given up. I am truly glad I decided to rely on the attorneys.
Through this experience, I learned that the most important thing is not to push yourself, and that it is better to rely on others when you can.
I am deeply grateful to the attorneys who handled my case, to the Yaizu Legal Commons Yaizu General Law Office, and to the senior colleague who introduced me to the firm. I truly cannot express enough gratitude.
Thank you so much for everything.
Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you for your empathetic response over more than a year of negotiations. Thanks to you, the trial was successfully concluded, and the compensation amount was more than the initial offer.
At the time of the accident, my children were 4 and 2 years old. When my 2-year-old son refused to ride in the car right after the accident, I was worried about his future and felt anxious.
Ultimately, he was able to ride in a car again, but our hope was to increase the compensation as much as possible in case of any future issues.
I am deeply grateful that Attorney Mihara and the other attorneys understood our feelings and responded with empathy.
Thank you so very much!

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you very much for all your help.
The explanations were easy to understand, and after retaining you, you kept us informed of the situation in a timely manner. Everything else was completely handled on our behalf, which was a great relief both mentally and emotionally.
Your courteous and swift response helped resolve the matter more quickly than expected.
Thank you for listening so empathetically to our concerns.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThank you very much for all your help. Thanks to the attorneys, the matter was resolved in a satisfactory manner.

The reports on communications with the other party's insurance company were also very detailed and easy to understand.
Thank you for the courteous response from start to finish.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to the attorneys and the receptionist.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsI am truly glad I was referred to a good attorney.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThis time, as a traffic accident victim, my initial motivation for retaining a lawyer was a casual one — since the insurance special clause would cover the costs, I thought I might as well try it as a learning experience.
The insurance company offered to introduce a lawyer, but I wanted to meet someone in person, so I visited your local office. Attorney Mihara listened to the details of my accident and then explained things with reference materials in a very easy-to-understand way. I felt I could rely on them.
The result of the settlement negotiations was surprisingly much better than the other party's initial offer, and I am very satisfied.
I am truly grateful. Thank you very much.

I am still continuing treatment, and I am grateful that this is also thanks to everyone at the firm.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsI was rear-ended while my car was stopped, and while my pain persisted, the treatment cutoff was approaching. Feeling that my own knowledge was not enough to deal with the other party's insurance company, I decided to retain the attorneys.
The communication was clear and smooth, and they worked with the other party's insurance company on areas I could not have negotiated on my own, resulting in a resolution I was satisfied with.

If a similar situation arises, I would like to retain this law firm again.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThe other party's insurance company representative was so unreliable that I was relieved to be able to entrust the response to the attorney.
The result was also satisfactory.
Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThanks to Attorney Yotsumoto's dedicated efforts, the settlement was successfully reached and I confirmed the deposit of the compensation.
Thank you so very much.
Because the attorneys handled all negotiations with the insurance company and others from immediately after the accident, I was able to focus on my treatment. They also provided progress reports along the way and answered my questions in an easy-to-understand manner, which was very reassuring. The result also exceeded my expectations. Once again, thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThis was my first time seeking legal consultation for a traffic accident, and I was nervous, but I am glad I retained their services.

Also, by retaining the firm, I no longer had to deal with the insurance company at all, and the elimination of that stress was a tremendous help.
I express my heartfelt gratitude.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsThis was my first time using your firm. In fact, it was my first time ever consulting with an attorney.
When I told a colleague at work about my traffic accident, they advised me, "You should have a lawyer get involved." Consulting was the right decision.
Also, all interim status updates were provided in writing, which allowed me to wait with peace of mind.
Ideally, I hope nothing like this happens again, but if it ever does, I will definitely consult with you.
I would also recommend anyone around me who faces a similar situation to consult a lawyer.

When the traffic accident happened, we questioned why we had to go through something like this. There were also times when we were disgusted by the other party's insurance company's response and the compensation amount. On top of that, the previous attorney made no progress and we had days without any end in sight.
We are grateful that we could consult with the attorneys, who listened to us thoroughly and fought for us with their expert legal knowledge.

Message from a client regarding Traffic AccidentsI had nowhere else to turn and was searching websites when I found this firm. When I spoke with them, they explained everything very clearly.
They achieved a better result than I had expected, and I was very happy.
During the trial period, they contacted me frequently, so I could easily understand the situation.

Debt Settlement & Bankruptcy

Message from a client regarding Debt Settlement Thank you for listening to my concerns about my debt this time. If I have questions or need help again in the future, please let me consult with you. I caused a great deal of trouble to those around me because of my debt, so I will reflect deeply and do my best going forward.
I will work hard to pay back every penny.
Thank you so much for your help this time.

Message from a client regarding Bankruptcy Thank you for your very courteous response.
Thanks to you, I was able to start walking again.
Thank you very much.
In a situation where it was difficult to maintain my dignity, your respectful response saved me.
I am deeply grateful.


Message from a client regarding Debt SettlementThank you very much for your help.
I had no idea what to do and just wanted to talk to someone, so I chose the firm based on accessibility.
I was anxious and even felt bad for bothering them with something like this, but as the attorney handled various matters, I thought, "I'm glad I asked them — I'm glad I chose this firm."
I feel bad about the financial arrangements, but I am filled with gratitude.
Thank you so very much.

Message from a client regarding Debt SettlementThe issue I consulted about was always on my mind, and I had no one to talk to. When documents from the other party arrived at my home, I realized the situation was serious. I spent several days worrying alone before finally telling my wife. She said, "You should consult a lawyer." I searched online and felt that Yaizu General Law Office would be "empathetic" and that "multiple attorneys would handle it together," so I chose them, called, and was able to meet immediately. As expected, the consultation was clear, empathetic, and I retained them on the spot. The matter was resolved in about 10 days. I wish I had consulted sooner instead of worrying alone.
Now my worries are gone and I enjoy each day.
To Attorney Beppu, Attorney Mihara, and Attorney Yotsumoto at Yaizu General Law Office,
Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyI am truly grateful for your help with this matter. Having moved from Kyushu with no one to rely on, I was filled with anxiety. In that situation, I received a call from the bank about my co-signer obligations and panicked. But you listened empathetically and provided thorough explanations, for which I am deeply grateful. After filing for personal bankruptcy, I caused a lot of trouble for my family. Going forward, I will manage my finances properly and try to save as much as possible. And I will never become a co-signer again. I now understand the risks of being a co-signer.
Attorney Mihara, thank you for everything.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyIn my case, it took somewhat longer than expected, but the attorneys and staff were very empathetic in listening to my concerns. Thank you very much.
I would like to consult with you again if anything comes up.

Message from a client regarding Debt SettlementWhen I came to consult, I was consumed with worry about the future and was far from calm — I was filled with anxiety.
Debts accumulated through work and a strained lifestyle led to a cycle of further borrowing. My child had lost their job just before the COVID pandemic, and I could see no light at the end of the tunnel. I thought we might have to give up our home, but even if we did, with an unemployed child and a small pension, there was no path forward.
Through discussions with the attorney, we decided to proceed with debt consolidation. After that, I received periodic progress reports. Within 4-5 years, the debt will be gone. My child found employment, and my wife is working two jobs. We are determined to pay back everything with full effort. I am filled with gratitude for helping me see a path to resolution without losing our home. Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyWhen my business hit a dead end and I did not know what to do, I found the website and went for a consultation. The phone response was polite, the advice was accurate and easy to understand, and they were very empathetic in listening to my story. When I had problems, I consulted with them and they responded immediately, for which I am truly grateful.
Corporate bankruptcy was really tough, but they explained things in a way that even someone without knowledge could understand. I was able to reset my mindset and feel ready to try again. Thank you so much for everything.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyThank you very much for this past year.
After receiving the "Decision" document, I was able to sleep for a long time for the first time in a while.
I intend to live the rest of my life properly.

Message from a client regarding Debt SettlementI did not know what to do or how to handle it, and I was spending every day in anxiety. But by taking the plunge and consulting with an attorney, my heart felt lighter, and I was able to live each day with peace of mind without any anxiety.
Thank you very much.
If the other party contacts me again, I would like to consult with you. Thank you in advance.

Message from a client regarding Debt SettlementI was very surprised that overpayments I never expected at the time of the initial consultation were returned.
Even when I was about to lose heart along the way, they patiently explained the situation and empathetically listened to my concerns. I am truly grateful.
If I had consulted elsewhere, I do not think I could have achieved such a favorable result. I am truly grateful to the attorneys and staff. Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyThank you very much for your help this time.
After 20 years, I had forgotten the name of the attorney who helped me before. I never expected problems to arise again after the person passed away.
Perhaps I had a desire to "forget unpleasant things quickly."
Thank you very much. I look forward to your continued support.

Message from a client regarding BankruptcyThank you for the various advice you provided.
From now on, I will live quietly so as not to cause trouble for anyone.
Thank you very much.

Even after retaining you, having everything handled on my behalf was truly a great help. During that time, you also addressed my questions and concerns, which gave me peace of mind.
I am truly glad to be able to live with peace of mind now and to have a fresh start.
I will start anew with a fresh mindset.

Relationship Issues & Divorce

Message from a client regarding Relationship Issues Thank you very much for your help with this matter.
I am very grateful that we were able to smoothly settle the terms for the future.
I have various emotions, but I will do my best to move forward, day by day.
Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding DivorceI would like to express my gratitude for your long-standing efforts that led to the successful settlement.
I am grateful for the clear and courteous handling during each meeting, as well as the various considerations to ensure my work was not disrupted.
Among the many types of attorneys out there, I truly feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Attorney Yotsumoto and Attorney Beppu.
Thank you so much for your help.

Message from a client regarding Relationship Issues / EvictionsThe peace of mind that came from knowing I could reach out whenever I was unsure or had doubts about what to do was invaluable for my daily life.
They responded to my email inquiries logically and clearly. They also responded promptly, never taking more than a day to answer.
By following their initial instructions step by step, I was able to move things in a positive direction quickly.
I am still somewhat unsure whether I should carefully review what happened to prevent a similar situation, or whether it is better to simply forget about it quickly. However, I will follow the attorney's advice as given in the emails.
If anything comes up, please do not hesitate to help.
Thank you very much.
2025.3.12 I apologize for the delayed response.

Message from a client regarding Relationship IssuesThank you very much for all your help. Now that it is over, I feel relieved and apologize for the late response.
It was probably a small case among many — just claiming compensation from the other party without getting a divorce. Yet, they were very empathetic and supportive, which was reassuring. There were times I wavered in my feelings, but being told that the decision was mine gave me the strength to move forward. Receiving the money does not erase everything, but I intend to use this as a turning point and do my best.
Thank you so very much.

The woman who handled the phone calls was also bright and easy to talk to, which made me feel comfortable reaching out.
Thank you.

Message from a client regarding DivorceThank you for your help with my divorce case. I had no experience with this kind of thing and was very nervous when I first visited. I came to consult on March 6 and retained your services that day.
In about a month and a half, I was able to get divorced without any claims from the other party, and I am grateful. This experience was also an important life lesson. At the end of the communication letter, the message "We hope that this resolution will serve as a fresh start for XX to move forward" made me very happy.
Thank you, Attorney Beppu, Attorney Mihara, and Attorney Yotsumoto.

Message from a client regarding DivorceTo everyone at Yaizu General Law Office,
Thank you so much for acting as my representative.
When the incident happened last March, it was so sudden that I was in shock. I reached out for help. If you had not told me on that first phone call, "Spend a normal week at work and then come to the office," I do not know how long it would have taken me to recover.
When I visited the office for a consultation, you listened to my entire story even though the allotted time had long passed, and by explaining what lay ahead in concrete terms, I was able to accept things one step at a time.
You always empathized with my feelings, understood my emotions in detail, and when you spoke on my behalf during mediation, every word was exactly in line with my feelings. Sharing not only the good but also the bad, including the emotions involved, was above all reassuring.
When negative emotions made it impossible for me to talk to anyone and I was carrying everything alone, reading the written arguments prepared for the custody designation brought me to tears and made me feel I was not alone.
I believed I should not give up on loving and raising my child. If I had proceeded alone, my rigid thinking would likely have made things worse for everyone.
I have now lost the shared living arrangement and custody, but I am looking forward to continuing to spend plenty of time with my child.
It may have been just one small case among many major ones, but I am grateful for the sincere dedication over such a long period. Thank you for supporting and guiding me through those difficult days. I am truly grateful. Thank you so very much.

Message from a client regarding Divorce / Debt CollectionI consulted with Attorney Yotsumoto.
As the defendant in the lawsuit, there were many moments of anxiety and difficulty. Although the direct evidence was unfavorable, thanks to Attorney Yotsumoto, we were able to reach a settlement that was essentially a victory through indirect evidence and arguments. Thank you very much. Attorney Beppu's words, "Let's approach this with the mindset of fighting as a team," stayed with me and helped me see it through. I extend my additional thanks.

Message from a client regarding DivorceAttorney Yotsumoto handled my divorce case.
They always responded calmly to my questions and concerns, which allowed me to attend each mediation session with confidence. What made me happiest was that they prioritized my son in handling various matters.
During online meetings, Attorney Beppu also joined, clearly summarized my thoughts, and taught me the mindset needed for mediation. It was very reassuring.
The office has moved to a location that is not as easily accessible, but if anything comes up, I would love to consult with you again.
Thank you so very much.

Message from a client regarding Relationship IssuesAt first, I thought I could resolve the matter on my own, but the discussions remained deadlocked. They empathetically listened to my concerns and I was able to entrust the matter to them with peace of mind.
Despite the limited evidence available, they persistently negotiated with the other party and even included the apology wording I had requested. To be honest, I cannot say that all of my frustration toward the other party has been completely erased, but I was able to sort out my feelings somewhat.
With three children to raise, there are many uncertainties ahead, but if I ever need help, I would like to consult with you. Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much for everything.

Message from a client regarding DivorceThank you very much for your help. After years of separation, the matter is finally settled, and I feel relieved. Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding DivorceThe issue that had been troubling me for years is now resolved, and I can sleep peacefully at night without anxiety. The waiting period between the consultation and the mediation date was longer than expected, which made me anxious again. However, the phone support during that time prevented my worries from growing. At mediation, Attorney Mihara, whom I had not met in person before, handled things on my behalf despite my initial nervousness. I was grateful that they articulated my demands despite my lack of knowledge.
I plan to enjoy life with my son. Thank you very much.

Message from a client regarding DivorceThank you for your help with my divorce case.
I was filled with anxiety about everything, but you always listened to me and responded with empathy.
You answered even my most detailed questions courteously, and always gave calm and accurate advice while considering my feelings first. This allowed me to entrust the matter to you with confidence.
It took a long time, but I was able to reach a resolution I was satisfied with.
The willingness to accommodate meetings outside of regular hours was also very helpful for me as a working person.
I am glad I asked for your help.
Thank you very much.
