Custody Case

David Yamamoto helped me on 2 occasions. He was very informative, personable and very professional. He is kind in his delivery and supports his clients with great compassion. He knows how to get it done and is very effective. I would highly recommend him.

Intelligent, Professional, Honest

David Yamamoto is one of the most professional and family oriented lawyers i ever seen. He and Cindy has an amazing team work.

I highly recommend David Yamamoto's office.

I was recommend to David from a friend. I was able to get a hold of him very easily and he was able to talk me through the procedure and process of my divorce. He was very upfront with what i should expect and not expect. His office is very professional and in moments of distress Heather was able ...to always make me feel better. Divorce is not easy and David's office understands this all to well. David was patient and methodical was eventually able to get us to settle. I highly recommend The Law Offices of David Y Yamamoto.

Refreshingly Professional

I just completed my divorce using the services of David Yamamoto. The process was thorough, methodical yet surprisingly quick. He explained all our options and gave good recommendations on what actions to take. The result was a fair settlement and one in which all parties were satisfied given the ...circumstances. I am very happy with David's services.

Very awesome Lawyer!

Handled my divorce action with great attention to detail, answering questions thoroughly and honestly, assertive communication with opposing attorney, quick response to my phone calls. Excellent knowledge and competence in dealing with all parties concerned, conveying realistic expectations to me, f...airly assessing costs, and reaching an equitable agreement with spouse. I would and already have recommended David Yamamoto's services to several people. I myself am an attorney and reside in the Palos Verdes area. In addition, he and his staff are friendly yet professional and I always felt welcome and treated well.
