Highly recommend Yoshiko, I have had Yoshiko represent me the past 7-8 years when ever I have needed her in family court. Yoshiko has always been professional, culturally supportive and incredibly child focused. 7 years ago I met Yoshiko as a father that needed help to gain access to my child after separation, I now have full custody of my daughter. It’s not all about the wins for me but about a lawyer who fights hard for the rights of children and their emotional well-being, that’s winning in my books
