  • "Bruce Wakuzawa was referred to me by my close friend who is also an attorney, who does not handle litigation. Bruce devised a strategy to meet those objectives in a cost-efficient manner. We were then able to resolve the situation. I am very pleased with the results of Bruce’s hard work. I would recommend him to anyone. Bruce is an excellent attorney and pleasant to work with."
