The Best Lawyers in America recognized six Minami Tamaki LLP attorneys in its 2026 edition. Partners Sean Tamura-Sato, Olivia Serene Lee, Suhi Koizumi, Senior Counsel Dale Minami, and Senior Associates La Verne A. Ramsay and Angela Mapa made the Best Lawyers list. 

Suhi, Olivia, La Verne, and Angela are part of the firm's Immigration and Nationality Law practice group. Best Lawyers has recognized one or more of the firm's immigration attorneys for the past nine years.

Dale founded the firm's Personal Injury practice group. Best Lawyers has recognized one or more of the firm's personal injury attorneys for the past 15 years.

Lawyers on the Best Lawyers list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers based on professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

These individual awards qualify Minami Tamaki LLP for consideration by the Best Lawyers Best Law Firms list, which is announced in November. The firm has been recognized ten times on the Best Law Firms rankings, which are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.

Best Lawyers has published its list for more than three decades, striving to earn the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as a reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries.
