In 2000, I moved to Salt Lake City from Washington D.C. and became a member of the Utah State Bar. I opened my own firm, Long Okura - Attorneys At Law, in 2004. We are a full-service boutique firm focusing exclusively on family-related legal concerns including divorces, custody, alimony, adoptions, paternity actions, child support, grandparent rights, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, estate planning, and probate. I have retired from litigating and now act as a Full-Time Mediator. I also do small business law and mediate both Family Law and Small Business disputes. I absolutely enjoy running this law firm. I feel incredibly fortunate to collaborate with excellent attorneys each day, helping our clients meet their goals in difficult circumstances. It is very rewarding whenever our clients mention to me how we improved the quality of their lives through our efforts.
