Dawn Van Wyk Takekawa

I would not suggest to use Dawn. I was in need of a simple real estate sale contract and the normal counseling that goes with that process. Dawn Takekawa was very difficult and frustrating to work with. She is extremely not responsive to answering questions and completing tasks. During a matter that ...was moving quickly I would lose contact with her for up to 2 days at a time. I called and left an email and it could be 1 or 2 days later that she would get back to me. When she did communicate back she did not provide all the responses requested. When she would eventually feel like calling me back she didn't leave voice messages so I did not know it was her. I was direct with her and let her know I'm frustrated by the long delays in communication and no timeline for when she was going to complete the long awaited document. She suggested that I move on to another lawyer. That was the best advice she could give because another firm completed the entire contract in half a day. I gave them no indication I was in a hurry at all. They just completed the job and communicated with me within normal expectations.
