Testimonials

Professionalism, Quality, Value

I was found NOT GUILTY of Murder in the Second Degree by a Bronx jury where DA presented video surveillance as their case in chief. The Defense successfully challenged admission of certain facts, and successfully convinced the jury of the unreliability of video footage. 

Incredible Acumen

Akane got my attempted murder and gun possession DISMISSED. I was often fed up with the legal system that dragged on, but Akane patiently explained and dealt with my concerns, and reassured me that I will get a plea offer that was acceptable or fight the case to trial. After Akane challenged the availability of the police and civilian witnesses, she successfully convinced the DA to dismiss the charge against me. She is the BEST.

Expertise

I knew Akane was different when I met her for the first consultation. I explained that my charges were in error and I was innocent. She listened, and after extensive negotiation with the DA pinpointing to the prosecution's error and lack of complainant's credibility, got the case DISMISSED.

Akane was the absolute best

I was at a bad place in my life and was arrested for a knife point robbery and was in on high bail and was facing many years in jail. After extensive negotiations with the Court and the DA, AKANE convinced both to take a chance on my future, and had me enrolled in an innovative program. I was released without bail after AKANE made a bail application, and after successful completion of a program, I ended up with a Misdemeanor with no jail time. I owe her my life

Appreciated The Quality Of Representation

Ms. Fujiwara took my case after I had lost hope with other attorneys. I was a victim and she met with me numerous times, met with the DA and convinced them to press charges on a case, and as a result I was able to obtain a lucrative settlement on my civil matter. 

She REALLY Cared About Me And My Situation

Akane took time on my case and treated me with respect from day 1. She really cared about me and the outcome of the case, and made a moving argument in Federal Court, where the court reduced my sentence. I can't thank her enough for the work she and her team put in the case.
