Building bridges between the country and our clients

 

When applying for status of residence (visa), there is no guarantee that the application will be approved even if the required documents are submitted.

There are many cases like, false document/ information was used in order to apply for a visa.
Even if you do not have bad intentions, but that “one mistake” can often lead to irreversible consequences afterwards.

No one person will encounter the same situation or result with their visa, and there is no set solutions that will work for everyone.

That is why we are serious and commited with every clients who wish to obtain a visa.
We do not accept service requests from so-called brokers, as we only use our experience and information, as well as the understanding of the law to provide our serivces.

We believe that the important thing is to find out what the client really wants and their intentions.

We do our best to find out everything we need to know and gather all the necessary information, put ourselves in the client’s shoes, and submit the visa application to ensure the best possibility of success.

Evaluate from clients’ perspective

In our profession as immigration lawyer, it is often perceived that we have a hierarchical relationship with our clients.

While we are experts in our profession, we do not know much about the profession of our clients.

Therefore, while we take pride in our work, we never have a hierarchical relationship.

We would not give any unilateral “requests” or “instructions”. We “respect” the clients` wishes and opinions and make “suggestions” based on them.

We evaluate from the clients` perspective and provide the best possible support to the clients.

Reasonable fee and charges. Establishing good relationship with our clients

 

Our profession is applying for residency status on behalf of our clients, which can impact on the lives of our clients.

 

The responsibility is huge and we want to create the desired outcome.

By doing our job properly, we believe it is necessary to receive the appropriate reward.

 

We determine the appropriate fee/charges for each service based on the remuneration statistics of the Japan Federation of Certified Administrative Procedures Speciallist.

 

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of immigration lawyer who provide visa-related services wtih surprisingly low fees/charges.

 

However, with lower fees/charges, it also means that the quality of the services provided are not as high.

This idea can be applied to almost any job.

 

We believe that by receiving the appropriate reward, we will be able to maintain and continue to provide the high quality services as an application agency immigration lawyer, and as a result, we can continue to establish and maintain good relationship with our clients.

【略歴】・1983年5月広島県大竹市にて生まれる。比較的自由な家庭で自由に育つ。幼馴染は在日韓国人姉妹。

・学校卒業後、アパレル関連会社に就職。営業職として社長賞も獲得し、仕事が楽しくなる。しかし、両親の相続問題をきっかけに「法律は守ってくれるものではなくそれを使って身を守るもの」と気づき、法律サービスの道へ。

・ビザ専門の行政書士事務所に入所し、入国管理局へのビザ申請の業務に従事する。当時はパキスタンやバングラデシュ等イスラム系のお客様が主であり、一夫多妻制等の価値観に圧倒される。外国人を取り巻く様々な事が見えてくる。多様な価値観を受け入れる。

・2008年度行政書士試験合格。

・2009年に文京区白山にて行政書士松村法務事務所を開業し、自ら就労ビザから結婚ビザまで幅広く在留資格(ビザ)のサポート業務を開始。

・2011年、品川区五反田駅前に事務所移転。自宅に帰らず事務所に泊まり込む日々・・・。拡大路線であったため、スタッフも増え、法務事務所と別に株式会社も設立。

品川区から委託を受け、品川区民相談員、東京都行政書士会品川支部の理事なども務める。

はた目からは順風満帆に見えたかもしれないが、事務所スタッフが事務所の名前を使用し、個人で仕事を受けていたことがお客様とのトラブルで判明するなど人間不信。

・2015年、港区台場に事務所移転。一度仕事のやり方を見直す為、アルバイトさん以外の方と別の道を歩む事に。

やっと自宅で眠れる日々を取り戻す。

・2016年、ヘッドハンティングで港区の行政書士法人の代表社員となり、ビザ申請業務の内製化と指導を行う。しかし、ビザの仕事は拡大路線になじまない事、量産型でやりたくない事に気づく。また、組織が苦手で職人気質なのだと再確認し辞任。

・2017年、拡大路線から卒業し、自分の納得出来るやり方で自由に仕事をするスタイルを追求する為フリーランス行政書士に。会社も売却。

行政書士業に囚われない様々なサービスの提供を開始する。大学等の研究やメディア取材にも協力し、日本に住む外国人の現状を多くの方に発信する。
