Testimonials & Reviews

I am taking this opportunity to express my gratitude to Atty Brad Smith of your firm for the excellent representation of my son. Mr. Smith was able to coordinate a plea agreement with the Pinal County Attorney's Office that was both fair and just in the eyes of our family. Mr. Smith kept both my daughter and myself apprised of the progress of the case with respect and efficiency. He always gave us the impression that he would do all he possibly could in order to facilitate an acceptable outcome to a difficult situation for us all. It's not always easy to interact with family members who are especially emotionally invested in the outcome of a case. Brad was always supportive of our fears and gave us his time to answer our many questions willingly. When we began this process, I told Brad that I knew if there was anyone that could help my son , I knew it would be him, as he had helped us on a previous case. I told him that my family was trusting in him.......And He Did Not Disappoint Us.......... We will always be grateful for his professionalism and legal expertise.

I selected Matt to assist with my son’s case, after speaking with a few attorneys. None of us knew the case would go on for almost 3.5 years from first contact to the end of the case. That is a long time for a case. Even so, Matt was there every step of the way, doing everything he could to help ensure the best outcome for my son’s case. Matt was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He was upfront with us all along the way about what to expect; he never sugar coated anything, which is what I wanted. Matt helped with my son’s case in more ways than I can count. I had some difficult times during those 3.5 years, when I became upset with the process, because I was so frightened about the potential outcome of my son’s case. Despite my fears, Matt not only maintained his composure and professional demeanor, he helped calm me down and bring me back down to earth. He was very understanding of the fact that I was, as a parent, on a very powerful emotional roller coaster. Matt made it possible for both my son and I to get to the end of that long ride with our sanity. Both my son and I were satisfied with the outcome of the case, which was substantially better than the original expectation. We are both very grateful for having had Matt on the case.

I hired Richard Suzuki as my defense attorney. Richard was highly recommended to me. Richard went above and beyond his duties as my attorney. He was informative, always available and most importantly, he cared! I wasn't just another number or client. I would highly recommend Richard as a defense attorney to anyone who needs great representation.

Richard Suzuki represented me in a class 3 dangerous felony charge with a mandatory minimum prison term of 5 years. Because of his due diligence, knowledge and experience in criminal law, he managed to get my charges reduced to a class 6 felony disorderly conduct instead of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because of his efforts I did not have to serve any prison or jail time. Instead, I only received probation and was released from probation after 1 yr. I strongly recommend him to anyone having legal problems. He treats you like a friend and is the type of person who will give you the most in professional services.

I hired Richard Suzuki last year after my son got new gun/drug charges while he was on probation. He had enough drugs that he could have been charged with not only possession but intent to distribute and that in and of itself here in Arizona is very serious. This added to the gun possession while on probation made the case very challenging to say the least. I was very distraught and didn't want my 24 year old to go to prison for 11 years which was the potential sentence. Richard and his staff were very thorough and immediately began a defense that ultimately brought the actual sentence to 1 year in jail not prison! I was elated and so was my son. I was also very impressed with the compassionate way that I was treated. Richard understands that no one is perfect; we all can make mistakes. He has a strong relationship with the prosecutor's office having worked there and I feel that this also made a difference in the outcome. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the firm is. Call them!

We were blessed to have such a great attorney; he made us feel like he was defending my husband as if we were family. I was confident in him and he always contacted me with all the information I needed to know about my husband's case. Richard is an outstanding lawyer and a genuine person. I can't explain how grateful we are that he was put in out path. A couple of people even noticed how Richard would approach me and see how I was doing. He's a great person and a great attorney who provided excellent legal services that made a difference in my husband's case. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

Recently my wife and I found ourselves in need of an exceptional criminal attorney. After some research and recommendations, we hired Richard Suzuki based on his reputation and long history of success. We found not only an exceptional attorney, more importantly to my wife and I, we found an exceptional human. Absent personal judgment, Richard went to great pain to ensure that both of us understood the complex processes and protocols and how each step of his fundamentally sound strategy fit within the larger context.

Richard has rich experience on both sides of the courtroom which helped us understand many of the events that occurred during our case. At each event along the process, he would explain what would happen and offer options along with his recommended course of action. We followed his counsel the majority of the time, however, on the rare occasion when we went a different path, Richard supported that decision with the same energy and enthusiasm as if we had chosen his path. At no point did Richard sugar coat anything; however, he was sensitive to the needs of my family throughout the process. An remarkable communicator, Richard conducted himself professionally at all times while ensuring that all parties knew his position.

Richard and his highly knowledgeable, professional staff provided myself, my wife, and my family a measure of comfort and support that I would not have predicted possible under the circumstances. In these days, we hear about moral and personal integrity; Richard exemplifies these qualities. Moreover, he is diligent for and protective of his clients throughout. Were we to need an attorney again, we would call Richard. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney, I highly recommend that you call him too. You will not find a better attorney in Arizona.
