Sumiko Hirano

Attorney

Sumiko works on arrests, dismissed cases and license applications, in English or Spanish.

Sumiko takes the cases that never ended in a conviction, where the main job is finding every place a record is kept and having each one corrected.

She also helps clients prepare answers for licensing boards, and attends those hearings with them.

How Sumiko works

Sumiko keeps a checklist for each case: the court file, the arrest record, and the companies that sold it. She does not close a case until each line is crossed off.

For license applications she reads the board's question out loud with the client first, so the written answer sounds like them.
