Client not happy

I am a prior client of Mr Kawamura during 1992 through 2001. I am not satisfied with his work as it lacks strength, dignity and pride. I have tried to work with him to get satisfaction with him but due to his heavy case load it was very hard to communicate with him. I had sent letters and made calls... and it was rare to receive a reply within a timely manner. In my opinion, his strategy is poor and lacks authority in defense. I reviewed this with Attorney Gunther and she stated I was not guilty to what I plead to. At one point, It was so bad that I asked the court to remove him due to a conflict of interest and that was a success.

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.
