Posted by Thomas | October 18, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Look no further!! He gets results

I needed a spousal support adjustment. Before I met David, I was totally used and abused by another lawyer. David evaluated my case, told me the timing and likely outcome and settled my case six months before the earliest possible date if I needed to go before a judge. Totally professional, outcom...e oriented, fair in billing and a pleasure to work with.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known David Yamamoto for approximately 15 years. I have been engaged in a number of cases, where he was representing the opposing party. David is very thorough, skillful, and an ardent advocate on behalf of his client. He is a man who does not waste words, or over lawyer a case, but still finds a way to come out with an effective solution, or result. I respect his professionalism"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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 community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
