MIKE NAKAMURA AND JESSICA BAKER ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!

I am writing to provide an account of my experience with Shulman, Rogers, (et al) PA, and specifically the legal team of Mr. Mike Nakamura and Ms. Jessica Baker. There are simply no better advocates out there for those of us who have suffered through a horrific, life-threatening automobile collision. Mr. Nakamura s team provided not only stellar legal advice, but they also assisted me through the confusing world of post-incident legal and administrative maneuvers, and supported me though the difficult and emotionally-draining days that lay ahead.

Approximately eighteen months ago I was involved in a devastating, head-on collision with another vehicle, each of us traveling close to the posted speed limit of 50 mph. I suffered head and hand injuries, as well as several broken teeth. Miraculously, both I and the other driver were able to escape further long-term incapacitating injuries or death.
I was referred to attorney Mike Nakamura and his team at Shulman, Rogers by a colleague in law enforcement. I was immediately impressed by their offer to come to me for the client introductory meeting, should I be hospitalized or too debilitated to drive to them. In the subsequent meeting with Mike Nakamura and his legal assistant, Jessica Baker, I continued to be impressed by their level of expertise, knowledge of the legal system, and their absolute compassion. It wasn t an act to try to land a new client; if anything, they gave even more of themselves as the case progressed. They listened to my input, and adapted their case as needed.

Jessica Baker, Mike s legal assistant, kept in touch with me almost every day for the majority of the case. She was the primary contact with the other driver s insurance company to ensure I had a rental car, that the medical bills were addressed, and that all of my questions were answered immediately. She provided the buffer I needed between the insurance companies and myself, held my hand when I needed it, and gave me space when I needed room to breathe.

My case was not a million-dollar payday for them; nor was it a high-profile case. Regardless, Mike and Jessica made me feel as if I was their top client, and in fact, their only client.

Personal injury law, especially that involving vehicular incidents, is not easy to understand; it is complex, and requires interaction with professionals whose only job is to discredit the victim and minimize their own client s liability. It would have been impossible to reach a satisfactory agreement without the experts Mike Nakamura and Jessica Baker in my corner. They were able to negotiate the maximum settlement with minimal impact on my recovery and time.

In my career, I am required to testify in court, frequently opposed by the area s best criminal defense attorneys. In twenty-one years, I have never once found myself nervous prior to or during a court case when on the stand. There is no doubt in my mind that should I find myself on the wrong side of Mr. Nakamura in a court case, I would be terrified. He has such presence, has such a firm grasp of the law and regarding the facts of my case in particular, and possesses self-confidence that would intimidate even the most seasoned investigator or opposing counsel. Should you ever find yourself in a courtroom with Mike Nakamura, you had best hope you are sitting at the same table as him.

In short, if you are looking for an attorney to represent you following an accident, look no farther than Mike Nakamura. He and Jessica Baker are the best of the best.
