Steven Deponte

"My husband filed for divorce after almost 20 years together. In that time we traveled the world, lived in another state for nearly half our relationship, adopted two children, and he left his career job at Kaiser to open a franchisee in healthcare (HomeInstead. He also presented me with a document to cash in my California teacher’s pension to “put towards the business.” When he introduced the business into our relationship he touted that I’d be able to retire from teaching in 3 years. In the beginning stages of setting up HomeInstead Care, I continued working as a teacher, we purchased a home, and my mom worked for him “free of charge” in his office, while using my advise for interior design and reception area decor purchases. Long story short, through the whole divorce process, not once did Mr. Doi advocate on my behalf, but kept saying there was nothing to “split.” Yes we sold our house with proceeds going to pay off bills. How about earnings from the business? How about refunding my pension from teaching in California? My experience with Mr. Doi as a divorce lawyer was for naught….he pretty much just had office staff prepare the decree and that was it. I paid him for paperwork, so if that is all you need, he can do that. But if you want him to be an advocate for you, fight for justice and what you’re owed, he’s not the lawyer to hire."

"For Gavin Doi: We hired Mr. Doi for a child support enforcement case and a fair outcome. He was not prepared for the hearing with the proper financial information or guidelines, the financial information was never provided to us before the hearing as stated it would be and he was unwilling to fight for what was fair. For the amount of cost that was spent, we did not receive the proper services or representation. Items that were noticed during the process and hearing: 1) He was not prepared with the financial information that was given prior to the hearing, he was joggling numbers the day of the hearing. The outcome was a lot higher then what we briefly discussed. 2) The financial information that was used to determine the child support was never forwarded to me in an e-mail as stated by you this would be done by your office. My wife and I never had a chance to review the financial information that was presented to the court. 3) He did not have the proper information or documentation from the State of Louisiana concerning their child support guidelines. This was a huge set back and this was also noted by the Child Support Hearing Officer. This was also discussed in his office prior to the hearing and he stated he was going to research the information which obviously he did not. 4) The Child Support Hearing Officer let the custodial parent decide what state guide lines the child support was going to fall under which ended up being the State of Hawai'i. He did not question this action to the hearing officer. The child lives in the State of Louisiana and has different guideline than Hawaii. Do not waste your time or money on this lawyer. First thing you will notice is an unkept and very unprofessional office environment, that should be your first clue."
