【Greeting from Lawyer Tsuruta】

As I lived and spent many years abroad as a resident, a student and a visiting family（seven and a half years in USA ), I share the common experience with the foreign nationals living in Japan. I also believe I have strong empathy towards the people who have cross-border legal problems through my life, legal and academic experience. My area of legal service includes international family law, international properties (including inheritance) , employment, in addition to general civil cases.
Fluent in Japanese and English.
