Salisbury, Lee & Tsuda, LLP

In my case I had very little time left before discovery was cut off. Time was ticking. So prior to hiring Lee Salisbury I have asked him if he will file an RFO to compel further responses, continue deposition, and ask for sanctions for failure to comply with the prior orders. Lee agreed. He said “yes, I will “ . However, right after signing the retainer and paying he went into hiding. I Called and called with no response . I wrote and got no response . He was nowhere to be found. I had a very important RFO hearing. Time was running out and he was nowhere to be found . Then he reappeared a late afternoon prior to the bifurcation hearing. Next day he was totally unprepared and motion was lost. Moreover he spent more time defending the CPA who had failed to prepare Moore Marsden and on premarital property tracing. You may guess that The CPA is the one who has Recommended him , so his primary allegiance was to this non performing CPA v to his client . Lee, who was leading the local bar association, had the audacity to neglect my case to the extent of deceiving me with false promises. Yet he declared that retainer already was depleted and demanded replenishment . Lee billed me and received approximately $9000 for nothing. Talk about fiduciary duties owed to the client. By the way when the opposition filed a response he failed to file reply papers. This is the attorney who is leading a local bar. What do you expect from those attorneys who were led by him at local bar association ? According to recently published alarming corruption matters with the state bar, one can see how attorneys can conduct themselves in such manner . Total utter impunity. My complaint to state bar just picked up and I will get justice whether with state bar or with the court action.

I used Ms. Serine Tsuda for my prenuptial agreement and she is professional, knowledgeable, and transparent on the topics discussed at hand. She was able to guide me in an efficient and timely manner which I cannot thank her enough. At the end of my process with Ms. Tsuda, I was pleasantly surprised that she did not use up the entire retainer and refunded the remaining balance. I have dealt with plenty of attorneys and once you pay that retainer most attorneys will say that there is nothing left over. I really appreciate the honesty and ethics with Ms. Tsuda. I highly recommend anyone in need of attorney services to use Ms. Serine Tsuda and her law firm. Thank you again and your hard work is greatly appreciated!!!

I had a case that required knowledge of out of state laws and jurisdiction. I found myself in need of an attorney because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I reached out to Serine thru a family referral and that was the best decision I could have ever made. Serine and her team were on my side from day one. I was very intimidated, nervous, and extremely scared of the whole court process. Knowing I had Serine in my corner made an almost unbearable and stressful situation seem manageable. I never doubted Serine’s ability to achieve the best possible outcome for me. Serine goes above and beyond expectations. I felt very comfortable sharing the most private details with her because she was easy to talk to and extremely comforting. Serine is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. Serine and her staff were always available to answer any of my questions and concerns. Serine went out of her way to ensure I knew everything about my case and what I was getting myself into. I am very fortunate to have her on my side. If you need a family law attorney and you want the BEST, then call Serine A. Tsuda. Serine has completely exceeded my expectations and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for me.

I reached out to Serine 2 years back after having bad experiences with 2 different lawyers, one was even a referral. I was to the point where I was planning on representing myself, but there was too much riding on this for me to take that chance even though I had limited financial resources. My initial consultation was roughly 1 1/2 hours long, much longer than what was standard. Serine went above and beyond to explain everything I needed know and what I could expect. Serine even followed up with me a couple of days later and shared information on different agencies that would take my case for free. Even though I had the option to be represented by reputable agencies at minimal costs. I knew Serine had my best interest at heart and felt that she genuinely cared and was not just taking on another case. It also helps that she is extremely smart, thorough, and very good at what she does. I wish I had met Serine sooner. I would not have been in the mess I was in. My life is at ease knowing I have an attorney I trust and can reach out to anytime. As long as Serine is still actively practicing law. I feel like I have an attorney for life. I can't say that about too many professionals.

I worked specifically with Ms. Tsuda while preparing for marriage. We discussed all of my rights and she clearly explained the process. She was empathetic, diligent, fair, and had an incredible commitment to detail. I could not recommend her higher!

Serine was great to work with in person, over the phone and via email. Our mediation was not easy because of personality involved, but she was able to keep the agreement developing and us moving forward. I really appreciate that she allowed us to stay in different rooms and warned me to stay a little longer to allow my ex who was heated to leave to avoid confrontation after a session.
