worst person you'll ever encounter

This guy is licensed in Texas, but advertises his work in Hawai'i as if he is a licensed attorney in the State of Hawai'i. He is rude, unprofessional, and calls people out of their names such as "idiot", "idiotic", and "stupid." Not to mention his wife is crazy and yells out of turn. He calls himself... a "relationship coach," but appears he and his wife are the ones that need to coach each other. His fraudulent advertisement as a Hawai'i licensed attorney will give him grounds to lose his license!

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.
