Doi / Luke: Doi Gavin K

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.
