Owner, Suzuki Law Offices, L.L.C.

I enjoy helping clients who find themselves in difficult situations and advocate for them through the legal system. I have been an attorney since 2001, and I am the owner of Suzuki Law Offices since 2007. Our focus is on criminal defense, DUI and auto accident cases. I feel that often times there is a lack of integrity in the legal field, and I make integrity part of our culture.  

I was born in Tucson, AZ, but was raised in a small town, Gallup, NM. I graduated from Gallup High School. I was the first in my family to attend college and was able to play some collegiate baseball. After three attempts at college and having to quit for financial reasons, I finally graduated from the University of Arizona in 1997, and law school in 2000. During law school, I worked fulltime for the Pima County Attorney’s Office, Lexis-Nexis and a civil insurance defense law firm.      

In 2000, I accepted a one-year judicial clerkship for the Honorable Howard Fell (Pima County Superior Court). In 2001, I accepted a position at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where I became a major crimes felony prosecutor. Subsequently, I accepted a position at the Department of Justice as an Assistant United States Attorney as a federal prosecutor. In 2007, I decided that it was time to take a chance and open Suzuki Law Offices.  

I have been married to my beautiful wife, Jessica, since 2003. We have two beautiful kids, Dylan (16) and Ryann Janelle (10). I dedicated over 9 years coaching baseball through my son’s little league years, club baseball and YMCA Basketball. My daughter loves competitive dance. I participate in the annual dance production and the daughter/daddy dance with Dance 111. I enjoy spending time with my family, working out and playing golf. As a family, we put God first in our life. I am very blessed and grateful for everything.  

I met Doug Gnas on the golf course, and he invited me to an AzBL virtual event where I met a lot of interesting members with experienced business backgrounds. I also spent more time with Doug and Jeff Bucher, and both are outstanding individuals. I am honored to be invited and to be a member of AzBL. I look forward to contributing to a great organization and developing lasting relationships with our members.
