Ryo Tomikawa

Skilled and compassionate guidance through a difficult divorce

I hired Mr. Tomikawa to handle my divorce, which involved complex cross-border elements as my spouse had recently relocated to Japan. While his primary practice is in San Diego with Chuo Sogo LPC, his deep understanding of family law, particularly his recognition in that field, was immediately evident. He demonstrated a nuanced grasp of both California law and the potential international complications, which was crucial for my peace of mind. Ryo was exceptionally compassionate yet strategically sharp, especially during negotiations over our shared assets. He explained every step clearly, never resorting to unnecessary legal jargon. The one area where I sometimes wished for more was in response time to non-urgent emails, which could occasionally take a couple of days. However, when it mattered, he was always available and proactive. Knowing he is also recognized by Best Lawyers in Family Law gave me great confidence in his counsel. He achieved a fair and stable settlement that allowed me to move forward. I would confidently recommend him for sensitive family law matters.
