Reviews

I consulted with you about the Japanese publishing industry, where rights and various matters are ambiguous. The initial consultation was free of charge. You took a genuine interest in my concerns, and you provided appropriate advice multiple times in response to my email inquiries. Thanks to you, my anxieties were alleviated, my emotions stabilized, and I found a way to approach a resolution. Although it didn't lead to a request for a full resolution, I would like to consult with you again if I face another issue in the future. I truly appreciate your help. (Bengo4.com)

Mr. Matsuo, thank you for your assistance this time. Consulting a lawyer was a first for me in my life and I was quite anxious. However, you checked the validity of the claims related to my consultation, provided guidance on the direction of the process, and showed potential outcomes, which helped me understand how to proceed. Above all, I was especially grateful for how swiftly you adjusted your schedule after I requested the consultation. I deeply regret that we only had a consultation this time, but I am truly grateful for your assistance. (Bengo4.com)
