Curtis Narimatsu, Esquire | ADDED TO EEBA WATCH LIST

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The Evil Esquire Bar Asso­ci­a­tion is seek­ing pub­lic com­ment regard­ing the mis­ad­ven­tures of Hilo, Hawaii attor­ney Cur­tis Nari­matsu, Esquire [#102106], prior to accept­ing nom­i­na­tions for his induc­tion into the EEBA.

The Hawaii Supreme Court sus­pended Nari­matsu on Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 22, 2009 cit­ing the pos­si­bil­ity he “may have vio­lated the Hawaii Rules of Pro­fes­sional Con­duct and poses a sub­stan­tial threat of seri­ous harm to the public.”

Accord­ing to Hawaii’s Office of Dis­ci­pli­nary Coun­sel, they have received twenty-six (26) com­plaints regard­ing Cur­tis over the past two years alleg­ing he failed to rep­re­sent clients after accept­ing money from them, did not deposit funds into his client trust account and there­after refused to com­mu­ni­cate with them. Inter­est­ing. Hawaii lawyers do that too.

Accord­ing to the Hawaii Supreme Court’s “Not Autho­rized To Prac­tice Law” list which, by the way, is almost as long as their “Autho­rized to Prac­tice Law” list, Cur­tis was admit­ted to prac­tice in Hawaii on Sep­tem­ber 23, 1977– so it took him exactly thirty-two years and twenty-six (26) com­plaints to piss off the Bar!

Accord­ing to the Hon­olulu Advisor:

a man said he called Nari­matsu numer­ous times and left mes­sages ask­ing why Nari­matsu did not return calls. Then, on July 23, 2009, the man left a mes­sage for Nari­matsu, pre­tend­ing to be a prospec­tive client who recently moved to Hilo. Nari­matsu returned the call the next day.

Any­one need­ing to reach Cur­tis to obtain a refund can con­tact him at the address below. Just remem­ber to state in your mes­sage you’re a prospec­tive client and not a cur­rent one.
