Alan was a great asset to have during my long, drawn-out, and frustrating divorce; he's the attorney I needed in my corner and I enjoyed working with him.  Alan was able to communicate the divorce process and the law with me in terms that I could understand, and he developed a strong strategy that resulted in having all of my rights protected. Alan proved himself just as strong in the courtroom, standing in front of the judge and opposing attorney. He viewed me as a person who needed his help, rather than just as a client to be taken from point A to point B; he was responsive to my inquiries and was always considerate of my finances, never charging for anything extraneously and never taking advantage.  I highly recommend Alan, and I recommend Kleintop & Luria and their staff.

Attorney Mark Bridges is among the most capable and talented criminal law litigation specialists in the country. His experience in the military legal system is unmatched. No attorney in this arena is better suited to protect the rights of a soldier facing criminal charges than the former Chief Judge of the US Army Trial Judiciary. Over the past 30 years, I have witnessed this attorney's superb litigation skills, sometimes as a colleague and sometimes as an adversary on the other side of the aisle. Always calm, confident and better prepared than anyone else in the courtroom, I cannot overstate his ability to achieve results for his clients. Colonel (Retired) Bridges has a distinct advantage over his criminal defense lawyer peers, in that he has served in every role: as a prosecutor, a trial defense counsel, a senior advisor at the Command level, as an appellate defense attorney and as a Military Judge. Simply put no other litigator in this field can compete with this level of expertise.

Very seldom does a person get to deal with a professional who deserves more than 5 stars! Thankfully we were able to find such a person in the sad period after our good friend died in Honolulu, HI. We needed an estate and probate attorney to discuss and handle the distribution of the estate. We contacted Samuel Suen by email on a Sunday. He responded within a few hours and we set up a conference call for the following morning. Mr. Suen answered all our questions clearly in both a friendly and professional manner. At the end of an hour-long discussion, for which there was no charge, I asked how we would pay his very reasonable hourly rate. Much to our surprise, he said we shouldn't hire him because there was no need to probate this particular will. His honesty and forthrightness was amazing! We tried to figure out some reason to hire him but to no avail. Ultimately we wished him a very fond farewell. Based on our experience, if you need an estate or probate attorney, you can't do better than Samuel Seun.

I called Patrick McPherson after a vehicle theft incident. I was immediate answered by Patrick and not a secretary or someone that had to put me on hold. I told him the situation and gave him the details, he never once made me feel stupid and explained in an easily understandable what to do. He assisted me in reaching out to the police officers and I ended up getting my vehicle back the same day. He also gave me advice on what to do with my insurance and how to handle the situation. Patrick made the process as simple and possible, helped greatly, and made a very stressful day a lot better. I would recommend this lawyer/law firm to anyone living in Oahu, Easily 5 stars.

Choosing Jeff was the best choice I ever made to combat the UCMI(Uniformed Code of Military INJUSTICE). I unfortunately fell victim to this and was left with a very difficult choice. I was threatened to be illegally separated from the Navy with no due process in one week's time. The command Jag decided to take it upon himself to illegally withhold evidence so he can convict me of a crime I did not commit. That same Jag told me he knew I was innocent but it would look better on his evaluation to convict me and what can I do since he has the law on his side and I do not. Luckily, I found Jeff who I can proudly call the "Military Lincoln Lawyer". In no time at all Jeff diagnosed the problem and quickly developed a plan of action to address this and give me a fighting chance. Shortly after hiring the Military Lincoln Lawyer all charges were dismissed and big Navy was made aware that they hired a crook to represent their command. Do not fall victim to the military's unfair practice of law or to crooks who want to convict you so they can gain career advancement. Call Jeff the Military Lincoln Lawyer now if you are facing legal issues because I can honestly say he will be better than your opposition.

Enormous thanks to Vickie Sakamaki and the Okura team for handling my mother's estate. They were always on top of everything, super helpful answering questions, and frankly they saved us a lot of money from what I've found. While not a specifically a complex estate, we had the problem of her passing during lockdown and all the beneficiaries being on the mainland. Vickie was so comforting and calm, helped us understand how to handle all the matters including mainland investments. She was especially fantastic handling hangups with a very obstinate bank.

With my small business, I've worked with many lawyers over the years and always had a bad experience (i.e. they billed me 5x the initial quote without any warning during the process, they gave me incorrect advise so that I would pay for something unnecessary, etc.) Finally, I was referred to Jeanilou, and although I only met with her for a consultation, I could tell she actually cares about small businesses and what is best for the client. After spending hours reviewing our documents and speaking with us, she ended up advising us not to move forward with our case. She didn't take a retainer and there was no hidden bill. She also did not make me feel stupid for past mistakes or for not understanding something and rather took the time to listen to my concerns and then kindly explain the best solution. The only downside is that I wish I had found her sooner! Highly recommend!

I got arrested under suspicion of DUI in downtown Honolulu. The whole process was a stressful and expensive life experience. I talked to a few local attorneys and someone suggested James. I met with him and had a frank discussion on what happened and what I could expect in the coming months. His fees were in-line with some of the other attorneys. Not cheap but not outrageous, and you don’t necessarily want lowest price for something like this. Either way, I hired him as my attorney. He was well prepared the majority of the time and was very responsive. To make a year long story short. We had our ADLRO hearing and I had my license back within a week, no machine or defensive driving classes. Months of delay went on but we did our court time and ended up with my DUI being dismissed. Thanks James.

I remember how stressful the process of selecting a lawyer was after being arrested for a DUI. Some offices I had to leave a message or make an appointment with the secretary. When I called James he answered himself, asked relevant questions, and overall left me feeling much better about the situation. After a brief meeting in person I knew I would want him representing me in court and that he'd offer the best defense possible against not only the DUI but speeding and reckless driving as well. James never made me feel pressured and only offered useful advice. My case became very drawn out due to how the court works and I had to go in five times, sometimes only to reschedule as they ran out of time. James was always there and he always kept me informed as to whether my case would actually be dealt with, where we were in the case, and allowed me to make strategic decisions based on his explanations. James was well known and well respected in the courtroom from my experiences there and I was always happy and felt relaxed that he was representing me. James immediately got my excessive speeding charge reduced to a traffic fine and we were debating the merits of taking the deal for the reckless charges depending on how the officer presented my driving. He also felt we could make a strong case against the DUI charges. So I was in pretty good shape even though I felt pretty rough when it first happened. However things ended even better than expected as after almost a 13 month wait James was able to get all charges dismissed with prejudice. All while I had moved away from Hawaii in the last two months to pursue a graduate program. So everything was dismissed and I never had to come back for a court date. I will always be grateful for James and how he helped me.

Alethea is known for providing dedicated legal representation, she offers extensive tax & retirement knowledge and experience in family law, aiming to resolve cases efficiently for the best possible outcome. Alethea's deposition uncovered diverted funds, which I had no idea my spouse was hiding. She worked tirelessly on all the details, including the appraisal on my home. My spouse had paid an appraiser to overvalue our property in order to lessen my share of the assets. She was so compassionate with my financial situation. I'm a realtor, so I paid her only when I made a sale, which removed a lot of stress from my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today. She has become a TRUSTED friend and advisor. If you want a fair settlement, she will fight for you, her ethics are stellar.

Alethea Rebman is simply the best attorney ever. She's responsive and fierce and patient and specific, exactly the kind of person you'd want in your corner. She assisted my fiance with a motion for post-decree relief after his divorce, and we will absolutely not hesitate to hire her if we have need of her services in the future. What a great advocate.

I was searching for an attorney for a post divorce issue when Alethea Rebman was highly recommended to me by a friend. My original attorney had proved to be incompetent, and another well known attorney I contacted declined my case, telling me I would not prevail. When I contacted Alethea she took the time to thoroughly listen to my case, ask relevant questions, and then she agreed to represent me. It was a particularly hard time in my life as I had a family member ill with cancer and another with a serious drug addiction. Alethea was always compassionate and concerned with my well being. She is extremely smart, focused, and impressive in the courtroom. She fought tirelessly for me. By the end of my case, which she brilliantly won, I felt she was not only my attorney but also a trusted friend. I highly recommend Alethea Rebman and her firm.

I’ve been an attorney for 20 years and know an attorney can be his or her own worst client. So when I had a minor business dispute with a vendor, I hired Ryan to handle it. it was settled in a few days on more favorable terms than I’d authorized. Great job, for a fee that was more than reasonable. I’d recommend Ryan to anyone.

My family came to Ryan with a fairly uncommon problem. We needed his help transferring the guardianship of an adult from one state to another and also from one co-guardian to a new co-guardian. Sounds simple right? Ryan does not specialize in this type of law (I don't think many do), but he didn't bat an eye. We hired Ryan, and he was able to find out everything he needed to make our complex request He filed everything in a timely manner to get us in front of a judge and to get our matter handled. His prices were so reasonable, we felt compelled to give him a bonus for his stellar performance. I would choose him a thousand times.

Called Ryan to get some advice for an estate with no signed will. We spoke for about 45 minutes and he took a real interest in my situation. He laid out expected fees and other costs and asked great questions and relayed a similar circumstance he dealt with and it made my decision easy.

I put my case in Alen’s trust and he came through. At times I was frustrated and impatient and he assured me he was on the right path. He was 100% correct. I highly recommend him.

I hired Alen after letting go of my previous attorney on the Big Island where my case was located. This proved to be the best decision EVER, because not only did we win, but also because Alen was so kind, considerate, and most importantly determined! It’s unfortunate to be in a situation where you need a criminal attorney, but when you do, it’s nice to have one who has empathy towards you and what you are going through. Alen is highly knowledgeable of the law, impressive in the court room, and was completely motivated to win my case. He was always quick to respond to any questions that I had, proactive with the case, paid attention to the smallest of details, and worked extremely hard from beginning to end. I cannot say enough about how great of an attorney Alen Kaneshiro is. Alen is very talented at what he does, and I am so grateful that he took my case!

Hands down the best decision! Once finding out I was under investigation for a misdemeanor (yet very serious) allegation, I consulted with nearly a dozen attorneys. Alen was by far the most responsive, professional, helpful, and practical of all I spoke to, so I hired him. While some lawyers wanted to "wait it out" and see what the State was going to do, Alen engaged immediately and in the end, the prosecutor did not file charges in my case. His ability to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and provide candid support about the case was reassuring during an extremely scary/confusing time. His patient-level headed approach to analyzing the details and compassion for his clients is crystal clear. If you want a responsive and knowledgeable professional who is no doubt "on your team", he's the lawyer you want.

Mr. King was very prompt in responding, professional, and kind when I had urgent questions about my situation. He spoke to me without judgement, was patient, and I could tell - really, really cares about people. I gained much more clarity just by talking with him for a short time. Thank you Mr. King.

My mother suffered a fractured jaw and bruised ribs from a fall at a commercial parking lot in Kailua. It was obvious the property management firm was negligent due to no lighting and obstructions leading to the overflow parking lot. You never want to settle directly with the insurance adjuster unless you have representation from an attorney. After consulting with dozens of attorneys who claimed they specialized in personal injury claims 99% refused to take the case citing: age of mom, Medicare issues and/or trouble prosecuting premise injuries. I finally came across with Sam King. Wow immediately I knew I found the right attorney. Most lawyers did not even want to spend much time on the phone discussing the issue but Mr. King invited us to his office and I could immediately know he was knowledgeable and very experienced in handling such cases. He knew how to work the system and who to talk with to get a good settlement. Other attorneys were simply clueless on many of these matters. I also liked that Mr. King never charged a penny upfront and I was free to consult with him regarding matters to this case. Very friendly and honest he could discuss the possible issues to expect. What my mom and I REALLY cherished from Mr. King was his ability to really listen. All these other attorneys talk and interrupt you constantly. Many times victims are formulating their thoughts and instead of assisting your thought process other attorneys cut you off. But not Mr. King. At the end we got a really big settlement w/o even having to go to trial. I would overwhelmingly recommend Mr. King to anyone who has experienced a personal injury. Sincerely, Richard and Nina Nov 2017

I was very fortunate to have Ellen represent me in wrapping up a divorce that was not only contentious but also complicated by the fact that it involved property matters in both Hawaii and California. I appreciated her dogged approach, knowledge and experience in sorting out difficult time and property division issues. She was very clear in what I needed to do to make things work and I appreciated both her seriousness and her sense of humor. I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking a qualified and effective counselor.

Ellen is a consummate professional whom is direct whilst also being considerate of her client's feelings and perspective. She is patient, taking her time to explain things her client may not understand as well taking her time to thoroughly answer any/all client questions. Ellen makes you [her client] feel like a priority, walking you through the divorce process and bringing levity to one of life's most-stressful seasons. I would readily recommend Ellen to anyone in need of her services; personally, I will always be grateful for her and for her energy and efforts on my behalf *Mahalo Nui Loa*

Noah took on a very very complex case of mine. We went threw order of protection to settlement or attempt there of out of court. Noah was there to help keep me in check and gave me a dose of reality when the law seemed so unfair and one sided. I would highly recommend him as a divorce attorney. He won in my favor every time my ex called me into court with an emergency summons.

Mr. Peterson exceeded all my expectations in his representation of my case. He is professional, yet able to handle my ex husbands rude, dishonest, snake of an attorney without hesitation. Mr. Peterson grasped the facts of my case quickly, and worded the motions and responses perfectly. He handled settlement negotiations swiftly, did not waste time on rediculous offers, or hesitate in taking my case to court. In court he was prepared and quick to respond. Mr. Peterson had filed and prepared every request of the court, and pointed out to the judge that the respondent had not. He has a charming demeanor that is balanced perfectly with the confident, aggressive representation that is necessary to prevail in litigation.

I am an exceedingly satisfied client and most appreciative for Mr. Peterson’s expertise and doggedness!

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
