Rie Nishida is the most brilliant and extraordinary attorney at law. If you are going to Japan or you live in Japan put her contact details into your phone, now! You never know when you need legal advice, services or representation and Rie is the best lawyer in Japan. She speaks fluent English, is empathetic and compassionate but most of all her vast knowledge and brilliance will make a difference if you or someone you know is arrested or detained. She worked tirelessly on my Australian husband’s case, first by responding to my email at 5am and seeing my husband at 8.00 am the same day, and then she worked miracles by getting him out of detention long before he would have if he had not had Rie representing him. We never thought we would need a lawyer but we did and I cannot recommend Rie and her team highly enough. Thank you to her team and a special thank you to Matthew Owens who is so wonderful to work with in some daunting situations. If you need a lawyer in Japan, Rie is the best one of all.

I had the privilege of encountering an exceptional lawyer who went above and beyond to help me in my time of need. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in her profession, but she also provided her services pro bono, demonstrating a genuine commitment to making a positive difference in people's lives. I am immensely grateful for her assistance and cannot recommend her highly enough. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her assistance. Not only did she provide expert legal guidance, but she also alleviated much of the stress and uncertainty that typically accompany legal issues. Her kindness, expertise, and generosity have had a profound impact on my life, and I will forever be indebted to her.

I recommend Rie and her team as the best law firm in Japan! The Japanese legal system is extremely difficult and almost impossible for foreigners to navigate alone — you immediately feel anxious, and it is impossible to be optimistic about the outcome. Rie quickly took my case, and I immediately felt hopeful. She is immensely knowledgable, explaining to me at each step in the case how things worked and what our approach would be, which was reassuring, and, best of all, led to a positive outcome. I was also fortunate to have paralegal/translator Matthew working on my behalf — they make a great team, and I will be forever grateful to them.
