Each of the five partners and a senior counsel at Minami Tamaki LLP have been named by Northern California Super Lawyers magazine as among the top attorneys for 2009 for the sixth straight year. Only five percent of the lawyers in the California are named by Super Lawyers.

Dale Minami (Personal Injury), Donald K. Tamaki (Corporate), Brad Yamauchi (Employment), Minette A. Kwok (Immigration), Jack W. Lee (Employment), and Lynda Won-Chung (Immigration) were selected based on voting conducted by ballots sent to more than 56,000 lawyers in the region, an extensive process involving peer nomination and a blue ribbon panel comprised of lawyers from appropriate practice areas who scrutinized the list of nominees.

Minami was also selected as one of the Top 100 Northern California Super Lawyers for the fourth year (2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009).
