Excellent service

The service was good from the day I went to the office. I was pleasantly greeted right away by Tiffany . I was explained my options and possible outcome of each one , along with the estimated amount of each service. Tiffany would call and remind me of court dates the day before and the day of . At... court my lawyer was very professional. He did a good job of keeping me informed. I felt at ease knowing I was represented by my lawyer Robert Yamanaka. Thank you.

Roberto Yamanaka

I received a traffic citation for speeding in December of 2015. While this is just an unfortunate event for most people, it was compounded in that I hold a Class A CDL. As a CDL holder, I was not eligible for deferred adjudication or a defensive driving course to keep it off of my driver record. Even... though I was driving my personal vehicle at the time, a speeding conviction counts negatively towards a CDL. Roberto and his associates kept me in the loop when new information about my case became available. He represented me in court when I was not required to be there saving me valuable vacation days. And the entire process played out exactly how he had predicted. Roberto and his associates are worth every penny!!!

He saved my job! Ticket dismissed!

Roberto Yamanaka got my citation resolved! He got my speeding ticket (79 MPH in a 60 MPH zone) dismissed! I'm very thankful being that I am a CDL Driver, one more ticket and I would've lost my job. Mr. Yamanaka saved me. He's a very good attorney. I would recommend him to my friends and family! He ke...pt me up to date throughout the whole case. The fee was reasonable and very much worth every dime!

Great service

Robert handled my ticket quickly and for a fair price, AND it's being dismissed! If you're busy, like I am during business hours, he communicates very efficiently through emails. He keeps you updated throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend him.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
