August 2, 2011 Janet S. Hunt, Office of Disciplinary Counsel 1132 Bishop Street, Suite 300 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 RE: Richard Diehl, Attorney Dear Ms. Hunt: I am in receipt of your letter dated July 19, 2011 wherein you advised my claims of being charged excessive fees and alleged other issues regarding questionable conduct of Attorney Richard Diehl is closed. I am surprised and disappointed upon receiving your decision that my case is in such a status, especially when I was not given an opportunity to elaborate on my allegations as I had thought. The matter being closed without anyone returning my repeated calls leaves me to question the level of attention and depth this issue was pursued. The brief time in which it took to render your decision is by itself questionable. Being unfamiliar with this process but at the same time believing procedural questions may be raised, I would have thought at the very least, I would have been given opportunities to elaborate on my allegations or given the courtesy of having my repeated calls returned. The purpose of my calls was to clarify inaccuracies and misinterpretations in your response to my July 7, 2011 letter. My first thoughts were, after reading your letter, that my issue may have become confused with another case you may be investigating. However, learning of the circumstances and basis under which my case was closed (if in fact my case was not confused with another) it would appear that little attention was given to this matter and that at best, an academic and perfunctory investigation were the limits of attention my case was given. That being documented, I will not, in this writing, elaborate on these errors but will reserve any further comment until such time that I, as you suggest, advance this matter to the Hawaii State Bar where these inaccuracies and your misinterpretations will be exposed. As I`m sure you are aware, the Courts ruled in favor of the respondent causing some to view my pursuing an action or complaint against Mr. Diehl as a sour grapes effort. I assure you it is not. Additionally, as you may or may not be aware, the matter was litigated over 8 years. Although the Court ruled against me at practically every turn, I was diligent and tenacious in my effort to prevail. I can also give you my assurance the same level of perseverance will apply in this matter.

Should you have any questions prior to me broadening this issue, please call 760-4135660. If I am unable to answer, please leave a voicemail message and I assure you I will return your call. Best Regards,
