Aoki Law PLLC

About Us

A Small Firm with Big Ideas

We are nationally recognized for our knowledge, experience, and skills in utilizing advanced and proven litigation technology typically found in the largest firms across the country. Federal courts have acknowledged the firm’s expertise through its Managing Member, Russell M. Aoki. He has been appointed as a Coordinating Discovery Attorney over 150 times across 47 jurisdictions to assist criminal defense lawyers in managing large volumes of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) for high-profile cases nationwide.

 

Those are the skills we apply to business disputes, law, white-collar criminal defense, and personal injury matters. We have represented clients accused of federal tax fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud. For our business cases, we advocate for nationally known and locally based companies. Our personal injury practice encompasses cases ranging from permanent disability to wrongful death claims.

 

Our Firm is About You

 

Our focus is on client relationships. Unlike most firms, we do not have billable hour requirements. No one feels pressured to bill hours, which can lead to unnecessary work performed by high hourly rate lawyers and paralegals. It’s a short-sighted business model that discourages returning clients and referrals.

 

For us, a client is never seen as a “billing opportunity” but rather as a chance to build a new relationship. When we efficiently guide our clients through litigation, we gain more referrals, which fosters the long-term success of the firm. We aim to be the firm our clients turn to first when a legal issue arises and can confidently recommend to colleagues, friends, and family.
