David Kunio Yamamoto

After my first lawyer did absolutely nothing (she disappeared!) & my case languished during covid, I found David. He is compassionate, thorough and on top of everything. His office staff is efficient and pleasant. My case that dragged on for 5 years with the other lawyer was settled within a year. He... was concerned with my financial security for the future and made sure I was aware of all my options. Always returned a call or an email. I highly recommend him and his office!

I had the good fortune recently to closely participate in a divorce settlement case in which David Yamamoto represented a family member of mine, “J”. The situation was more complex than average and I observed David drilling down into the details personally with his client to get a solid understanding... of the flow of separate and community property assets. J and I were blown away by David’s coherent presentation of the facts, especially after having had a previous attorney who was unable to keep things straight. At court, David was an effective negotiator and helped J reach a settlement that aligned with his desired outcome. David’s reassuring “bedside manner” provided his client the confidence and security he needed in knowing that his attorney was thoroughly prepared on his behalf. I highly recommend David as a fair attorney who is invested in his client’s best interests.

David provided exceptional counsel during this arduous four year process. His patience dealing with a difficult spouse helped me to also deal with the numerous frustrations and delays. He provided numerous insightful and invaluable recommendations and guided me step by step. He was truly a trusted... advisor from day one. I will actually miss our communications (but not the ordeal) as he became a good friend.

We recently utilized the Law services of David Yamamoto. We first called for an over the phone consultation and then followed up with an in office consultation with David. He advised us in a very professional manner. We learned what was involved with the dissolution process. This included the nec...essary filings, paperwork, timing, disclosures and other items that were going to be necessary to complete our case. David clearly stated up front what our potential costs wold be. His office staff was very courteous when we talked on the phone or in the office. His office updated us monthly regarding our current costs with an accurate accounting. Our case was completed in a timely manner. We had no surprises regarding cost or additional needed paperwork. David is a man of integrity. We were treated with integrity by himself and his personable professional staff. We would recommend that you spend the required consulting fee of around $250.00 prior to hiring this firm. During this approximate one hour meeting with David you will be able to see his professalism. He listened to us regarding our case and concerns. He was very thorough with his explanations and explained in a manner that we could understand. During this initial consultation we knew that his firm was correct for us and hired them on the spot. Davids's office staff and his personal support helped us complete our case within the timelines and costs that were originally commuicated to us. We would recommend David for your family law concerns.

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.
