Mr, Mukaida did not return phone calls, from us or the workers comp company. He failed to answer a letter requesting a second opinion causing the Department of Labor to get involved. When asked about it he said that he thought he sent a letter, three weeks and several messages later he was able to be reached by phone and would not explain why he just stopped contact and work on the case.

If it was possible to give 0 stars I would have. Under no circumstance should you hire Trina for anything, especially with any visitation with TRO in place or custody issues. She is in it for herself…to get paid. He care nothing for the kids, especially their emotional and psychological well being. She traumatized my kids further. DO NOT HIRE HER.

Hired as a custody evaluator for a child abuse case. She did an excellent job investigating and uncovering facts, but did a very poor job testifying. On the witness stand she seemed to have forgotten many important details. She responded "I don't know" or "I don't remember" several times to facts that she had provided while testifying on my child's behalf.

Mr. Chur was hired by me to help with a workers comp. case. He dragged the case out, got a mediocre settlement and took 50% of the settlement. He nickel and dimed me by charging for things like phone calls, office supplies and office clerk work at attorney rates! This guy is a rip off and has no shame! On a positive note, the toilets were clean.

Daniel Chur represented me in a work.comp. claim with John Insurance representing my employer for a back injury which caused me a discectomy operation. And Mr. Chur used his expertise to settle my claim as fast and without my consent as possible, when I questioned him as to a settlement without my approval he said he already gave the insurance company "his" word and if I didn't go along with it he would "release" me as a client. He settled within the year, took more than a third and cared the less that I was still in daily pain.

This attorney drafted my family trust incorrectly. Our wishes were to have my Grandmother qualify for Medicaid, after 5 years, and have the assets go to the surviving child and grandchild. The way this attorney drafted our trust, my Grandmother would not qualify for Medicaid, and all the assets wouldgo to a distant cousin in Japan. We paid him 5,000 for his incompetent services. We now have an inaccurate trust, that puts my family's assets at risk, the complete opposite of what we wanted. My family is looking to fix this problem, but it will require further attorney fees. Clients beware!

benefits assistance atttorney, Appealed decision of Dept of Human services Hawaii to deny assistance for qualified individual. Attorney did a fair job on the appeal. But what i didn't like as a client was her attitude not to look beyond the scope of what was really happening. After the decision was granted by Circuit court Judge in our favor, DHS needed to schedule a new hearing. I asked for a original document be entered into evidence during the DHS hearing this document said i asked for money while pending a hearing date. I never sign any papers of such a sort. The only papers I signed was at legal aid of Hawaii. They gave me papers to sign to represent me, some of these papers I signed were blank. This paper was one of a few main reason i gave to being right. Days b4 hearing I had ask attorney to ask for documents bcuz i never signed or gave a reason asking for finacial assistance pending hearing. The day of hearing I asked My lawyer did she ask DHS/AAO for document she ignored me. long story short after losing that hearing.

When I spoke with Carolyn Oshiro she stated that her first consultation was free. We did not have a first consultation. We had a few phone calls which SHE initiated to me after my first call to her, asking about a consultation. She never told me that each time she called me she was charging me. She initiated all the calling. The bill for just her phone calls to me where I answered some questions, was over $200. Had I known she was initiating calls that she was charging me for, I would not have spent the time I did with her. You can imagine my surprise when I got the bill. Also, I asked her to send me copies of what she was doing, and she did not. However she charged me over $500 for two sheets of paper with a dozen or so questions. Beware. I would not recommend this attorney.

We contacted Atty. Rhoda Alvarez seeking help in assisting our niece in obtaining a green card. The answers and options she gave us were vague and not at all helpful. One thing she suggested was that we find someone to marry her. I don't think that this is even remotely legal and not a route we would pursue. The fee we paid for a Zoom consultation was high and not worth 1/4 of what we paid. Having dealt with really competent Attorneys in the past, this was a letdown.

I contacted Mrs. Orque, first by email then later by telephone, leaving my name and phone number along with a brief message. After my initial email, she said she would call me on Thursday, but the day came and went with no contact. (I did hear a woman shouting that she could not accept the case because of her conscious or some such comment that day near my home though...) This was also my third or so try to get Mrs. Orque to contact me, after she said she would.
As someone who is seriously looking for a lawyer to represent me, I would have to say that her actions were unprofessional, and I would not recommend her to anyone else.

I have called this office numerous times to obtain counsel pertaining to liquor licensing. I have scheduled a few appointments and the attorneys have failed to be present. I feel this firm’s operations are not aligned with companies looking for professionalism from their legal team. The attorney we were to be working with was Robert K. Ichikawa.
I do not believe in this firms ability.
One should take a lack of professionalism as an indication of the lawyer and services you will receive.
