Our Business Is Business
When we started our law firm many years ago, our original focus was on licensed professionals such as architects, engineers, landscape architects, interior designers and construction professionals. Consequently, the attorneys at our law firm know how buildings are designed, built and maintained. Not only do we "speak the language," we also are well-versed on the types of legal issues such professionals face. Today we represent all types of design professionals from solo practitioners to large international firms.
Naturally we have expanded our focus over the years as our own law firm has expanded. Today, we represent a wide range of businesses, including the following:
• Financial institutions
• Closely held businesses
• Startups
• Nonprofits
• Professional firms and organizations
• Real estate agencies and brokerages
Whatever legal issues and/or problems our clients face, potentially or currently, Furukawa Castles LLP stands ready to help find and provide the solution. We operate as a collaborative team, holding ourselves accountable, both to our clients and to each other. Our effective and efficient communication skills and methodologies are second to none. In addition, we offer free initial consultations and accept credit cards.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
