She covers every base and accomplishes the task and is always ahead of the game . I felt safe and protected under her care. Joy definitely has your back. Thanks Joy for a great job.
Well done.

I cannot recommend Joy highly enough. You will be hard-pressed to find another attorney anywhere with her level of education, knowledge, wisdom, and experience, paired with her work ethic and integrity. She personally led me through the most horrific experience of my life (divorce from a most unsavory, unscrupulous predator) with her full attention, a strong sense of urgency, and a solid plan. I had the makings of a very messy divorce, involving assets and children -- the kind that could have dragged on in court for well over a year. With Joy leading the charge, we were able to avoid litigation and get the divorce finalized less than 2 months after filing. And through it all, she gave me encouragement and compassion.
Anything legal is highly stressful. The peace of mind you gain by having complete confidence in your attorney is immeasurable. Joy is that kind of attorney.

Joy was absolutely amazing in her preparation and communication when it came to fighting for me and my kids. She goes over and beyond to ensure you know what to expect with the deliberation process. She is transparent in her works and will do everything in her power to provide the best possible defense for you. I highly recommend her! She’s a blessing and I will be forever grateful for her service.

My experience with Carol was simple and excellent. Carol made me feel comfortable, secure and she went out of her way to help me. I appreciate her guidance, good morale, and integrity. She represented me so well and I would recommend her to anybody seeking legal counsel.

I hired Carol Tribbey 3 times over the past 4years...First time was for family court to get life time child support for my special needs son which she worked hard on paperwork, evidence and finding father to serve (since he was hiding service) we got everything we asked for...Second times was to represent me in a child support hiring my ex falsely requested knowing that family court order states mediation first (which Carol smartly asked
family court judge to place in orders prior to this happening)...Carol got it thrown out without even having the hiring, ex and ex's lawyer was not happy...I was...lol...Last was this past July for guardianship of my special needs son since he just turned 18years old...Carol had to get a process server for a out of state service to my son's dad and she made every effort to find a Processor in the state and made all efforts needed to try and contact him, which made it easy for me to get the full guardianship because true effort was made to contact him...Carol always got back to me in a timely manner, spent time explaining the process, offering me suggestions and advice, helped me to find evidence to support my case and always caring about the outcome...She treats you like family with genuine care!

Mr. Liebenguth was prompt and informative when initially seeking his consultation and service. I appreciate his approach as it’s geared towards understanding what your concerns are and educating you on his services before requesting payment. He is very knowledgeable about Military processes and without him representing me I believe my outcome would have been negative. Having him in my corner gave me so much peace of mind while going through a stressful situation. I strongly recommend hiring Mr. Liebenguth for representation to ensure your process is fair and just.

I wish I could provide higher than a five-star rating for Nathan. He is an exceptional lawyer. My family spent 3 years wrapped up with another law firm, caught in an administrative stalemate. I called around to find different lawyers (made 7 separate phone calls). Only 3 law firms called me back, and 2 of them wanted to charge exorbitant rates for what we needed. Nathan called back quickly and provided a detailed, step-by-step explanation of what was needed to complete our property conveyance and handle back taxes/administrative filing. He even encouraged us to take the necessary steps ourselves if we felt comfortable. Nathan took on our case, even though other firms told us it wasn't worth their time - in addition, Nathan handled this work promptly, professionally, and with a great sense of humor and patience. Nathan accomplished in 3 weeks what another firm couldn't complete in 3 years. Thank you to Nathan for singularly stellar service and for effective work at an unbeatable price.

Horrible. Save your time and money. Look for another Law firm. They are horrible. I asked to speak to Mr. Turbin and the Paralegal said he is too busy to talk with me. So I asked if I could talk with her, and she said she is too busy to talk with me. That is a red flag from the start. They never even reviewed our case but they said that they did. How can they review 1,300 pages of medical records in 2 days. Horrible. I am glad to go to another Attorney that makes time for their clients.
And I didn't even ask to talk with you about talking with 1,300 pages. It was only 4 pages tops of notes. So you knew the meret of the case. How would you know what I wanted to talk about or how many pages I had. You didn't even make time for me. You and your Paralegal said you don't have time for me even before I said how many pages I had or said anything else.
You said I'm not credible... I have the entire conversation between myself and your office staff recorded. It shows your sketchy.
And I didn't even demand nothing. I asked if I could please make an appointment to talk with an attorney. And they said your too busy. Then I asked if i could please schedule with the Paralegal and she said she is too busy and can't talk with me.
I just had some questions. But it shows your character. You lying and making up stories and you don't make time for your clients. I have everything recorded. So I have the proof.
But then again it shows you and your staffs character. It is what it is. There are better attorneys out there that truly care and take the time to help their clients.

Tom took on my case of coercive control. We settled a TRO, a cross TRO and a Paternity in 2 hearings. The father of my child is a police officer and really knew every card to play the system. Tom got me my child, child support, back support, and has held my hand through CPS interrogations, and every negative card my baby’s dad threw at me. He sees right through him. This process wasn’t easy for me, and I’m very young, and of course I made many bad choices and mistakes, but tom handled them all. Like I said, he stayed by my side through a CPS interrogation that was extremely biased. I will forever be grateful to this man for standing up for me in ways nobody else has ever stood up for me. My reputation and credibility was being slaughtered very quickly. Tom handled it. Period. End.

A Lifesaver in Family Law: Krystal Myge & Sarah Vibinwell at Wong Leong Cuccia
My situation was incredibly complex, and after contacting literally dozens of lawyers, I felt hopeless. Then I found Krystal Myge at Wong Leong Cuccia. Krystal was a beacon of hope! She, along with her amazing assistant Sarah Vibinwell, exuded kindness, compassion, and professionalism throughout the entire process. They were clear and prompt in their communication, which was invaluable during such a stressful time.
But Krystal and Sarah weren't just brilliant and professional - they were also badass! They got to work and achieved the outcome I desperately wanted. The relief I felt is indescribable, and I will never be able to thank them enough.
If you're facing a family law challenge, look no further than Krystal Myge and Sarah Vibinwell at Wong Leong Cuccia. They're the dream team!

We needed to locate legal counsel for a child custody situation involving our son who lives in Maui but is not native to the area. As many folks in the same situation would quickly learn, trying to source legal representation for this purpose presents a challenge on this tiny island. Wong Leong Cuccia was recommended to our family through a long-term friend and lawyer from the Boston area. His suggestion was absolutely the right choice for us. Krystal Myge, assistant attorney was appointed to our case. From the initial free consultation to the eventual custody agreement being finalized, we could not be happier. Krystal understood the nuances of Hawaii custody law, understood the courts position on such custody agreements, and worked closely with the opposing lawyer to foster an agreement before the case even went to trial. We are truly thankful that she was able to negotiate on our behalf with the minimal financial output and to our satisfaction.

What a terrible lawyer. I paid $1250 for my case and sat around for 6 months with him telling me to just wait. He kept telling me to do work and then he would look at it and screw up the details as he was trying to edit it. I watched him type relevance and underscores below 11 pages of time line I wrote instead of copying and pasting for an hour and then I had to go back and delete the underscores because as most people know you can't type on top of them. I found out later he charged me $300 for that day. He also charged me for a lot of things that weren't in our contract when I got a bill for an additional $3000. I told him I wasn't paying it because I read the contract and he violated his own contract. Billing more for paralegal time and for phone calls he wasn't supposed to be talking to certain people. He said I was going to have to pay and I told him to sue me for it and I would win because he was a crappy lawyer and broke the contract. That was over a year ago and he hasn't gotten a penny from me. Then he told me he would sue me for libel if I left him a bad review. We'll guess what, challenge excepted. I'm leaving you a terrible review for you being a terrible lawyer who did nothing for me and in the end I was cleared because I was innocent and just sat down and spoke with the investigators and cleared my name against his advice. Almost $1300 down the drain for exactly 2 pages of handwritten notes that are illiterate saying don't do anything. Thanks but I could have done that for free. I wanted a lawyer to be with me by my side but he was always too busy. He would email and then you would respond and I saw he auto deleted your response. He wanted you to respond on a program even he didn't use. He was never available to answer your call and you would be told be his office he would call and then he wouldn't. Horribly unprofessional, unclean and disorganized office place. Find a lawyer that isn't such a wuss and know what they are doing. Go ahead, try sueing me and I'll make you look stupid.

I hired this attorney to file guardianship paperwork for my incapacitated brother. If I had to do it all over again I would not use this attorney and I would not recommend anyone use this attorney. My brother was homeless on the street and this attorney lagged in filing the paperwork to get the process started to get him off the street. He lied about filing the paperwork and when addressed with concerns his response was fire me. Paperwork was never filed until a month after he was hired. A week after a news story was aired on my brother. His team made it seem as if we were waiting for the court to issue a court date but when I called the court they confirmed nothing was ever filed. I was told that because the news story had aired they hoped it would light a fire and get the process started when in fact the whole time they failed to even file the paperwork. This whole time my brother was homeless on the street in very bad health. It’s one thing to be behind on your duties but it’s another thing to lie about it and then rectify the issue with saying fire me when you are addressed with the concerns. Fast forward to today we were notified by the court that the lawyer failed to follow up with required paperwork needed by the court in regards to the granted guardianship. I would not hire this lawyer again and thank god my brother is no longer in Hawaii and in very good health today.

Mr. Phillips is very knowledgeable about family law in Hawaii. However, my case dragged far too long and experienced multiple delays. After paying more than $10,000, there has been very little progress in my case. I often was misinformed about the progress of document production and the dates that documents were actually submitted to the court. I often felt that information I conveyed to Mr. Phillips went unheard and was not considered when he spoke to the other lawyer. If you choose to use Mr. Phillips' services, be sure to follow up to make sure documents are being written and submitted to other lawyer and/or the court.

So grateful to have found and hired Mary. I live in another state, and fighting a custody divorce case was very overwhelming alone. After I hired Mary she took care of everything! She was extremely professional and stayed true to the facts. She was the strong sturdy force I needed thanks to her years of experience. I won my case and I finally get to move on with my life because of Mary. I would absolutely hire her again if I ever needed a court case taken care of again. She was very reliable.

In a high conflict child custody case, Mary Malone was not only extremely knowledgeable and reliable, but very client focused and would check in and make sure I knew what was happening at all times. She handled my case and other major issues promptly and effectively. She continues to help me in situations that I could not navigate alone. I recommend her to anyone who needs legal support. She is known to be a gem in the community and without hesitation, I give Mary Malone my highest recommendation.

Attorney Kimura is excellent. He took over for another attorney who wasn’t very good and seamlessly transitioned into providing exceptional legal guidance and assistance and achieved the best possible outcome for my loved one’s case. He goes above and beyond to get the most desirable results, giving his all and is one of the best attorneys in Hawaii. Would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Brower successfully helped me with my case against a major company that disrupted my life. I talked to other law offices that dealt with employment law and they told me that I had no case. Then I called Mr. Brower's office and on our initial meeting, he sounded very confident and I felt that he truly wanted to help me. On our deposition of the other adverse employee defendant, he was very prepared to ask the tough questions in order to get to the bottom of the truth. I won because of Mr. Scot Brower and his determination and firm resolute to see that justice was served and help people like myself who need a strong legal protector and he protected me because he knows the legal system. Mr. Brower really cared about my case and I have always gone back to him for legal advice. He is adept, determined, and fair to see things through. He helped me and he can help you too.

I hired Scot for a high conflict custody battle with my felonious ex. I believe my case was way to over his head and he was not capable of handling it. I have so much things in my favor,I've never been arrested, journeyman in the union, house, car, etc. My ex is a convicted felon and doesn't even have her license because of her multiple duis and she's not from my state. My ex tried multiple times to get me arrested on bs to gain the upper hand. I was served by the SWAT team right before our first custody hearing. At the TRO hearing I had so much evidence to disprove her claims but he didn't want to use it because it made the relationship sound volatile he said. It was things like her apologizing for trying to sexually assault me one night and how she previously tried to get me on harassment but immediately contacted me to meet her after she wasn't granted a protection order.He didn't even bring up the fact that she sent me her sextape while under this false tro. It was clearly her voice and I even had Google support verify that someone else hacked my account and sent it. The audio is clearly her as she has a distinct southern accent. If anyone talked to her for a minute they would recognize her voice. Why would you not bring that up? When I first hired him I asked him what about her belongings. He said 30 days and do what you want. At pre trial be said the closest thing they had against me was I sent a pic of her belongings about to be trashed. . But I only did that because she ghosted me for weeks about son so I assumed they were abandoned or they left to her home state. I gave her 15 weeks notice. He never even brought up that the very next message I had sent was that I still couldn't do that. It was literally the next message. He never brought up that she told me she was at the ala Moana hotel and that I didn't know but it turned out that it was a dvac safehouse. I was going there every other day to take them to the doctor. I had no idea. I have proof of everything I'm saying. All our messages were printed out in a PDF format too. He advised me to take a civil order and every other attorney I talked to after and showed them what I have said they would have fought it and gotten it dismissed. I was awarded joint legal at least. My final straw and the reason why i felt I could no longer trust him is because I had sent what my ex sent me in the talking parents app and asked her to not do that to harass or provoke me. She tried to get me arrested for that and the next day a cop came to arrest me. After showing him and explaining what happened he told me what to write so I wouldn't get arrested. He said why didn't your attorney make it a mutual restraining order so you can be protected. I called him after and asked and he told me "well unfortunately she can do that, suck it up". Wow. Ok. He have me no guidance over the course of 5 months I think when I hired him in December. He never even fought for me for custody or visitation and that worked against me. Like I said earlier, I have no record and no drug addictions and never been to rehab. My ex has though and I have proof of everything. I even have a section in my binder that was just her suicide threats. He was extremely disorganized as well he had their discovery questions for two months and gave them to me the day before they were due. Be never even told me to write anything either for them. when i finally had enough, and wrote a letter about my disappointment, he spent more time talking to me about how much of a better attorney he was than any other attorney that he didn't know who I was even talking to yet. That was the most he talked to me. My current attorney, did more for me in one week, than the course of 5 months that I had Scot. My regret was hiring him and wasting 8k. He took over 3 weeks to give me my file back also. Maybe I'm wrong but that seems like a long time to make some copies. I'm just grateful I have a good attorney now. I will be filling a complaint.

Mr. Scot Brower is professional and very knowledgable in the field - I recommend reaching out for legal advice regarding employment!
Reached out for quick legal advice regarding an employment claim and was satisfied with my consulting experience. Due to the urgency of my situation, I was worried he would not have enough time to work with my case but he was very responsive!
Within the first 5 minutes of the call, he was able to provide feedback of possible claims without the need for personal information or documents. I was impressed with his response and moved forward with a remote consultation. He immediately called back with all options available including possible outcomes. I appreciated his honesty and transparency without the pressure to take action. Moving forward, I will definitely keep in touch with Scot Brower as a recommended attorney in the future.
Reading through previous reviews - I feel its the client's responsibility to know your intentions and prepare questions before calling or reaching out. Initially, he did not request documentation or employment details until moving forward with the consultation. Lawyers want to help but will not waste time if they are unable to receive information needed to provide legal support.

Jim handled a difficult immigration case and my divorce. He is direct and straight to the point, yet funny! His easy-going nature really put me at ease, especially since i was already going through a really tough time. Everyone at the immigration office knows him and seems to like him too. I could have fought my ex-husband on the divorce but Jim's sage advice kept us on civil terms, which cost me a lot less money. I have referred several friends to him and everyone came out on top. Really glad i found someone experienced, knowledgeable, and hilarious to boot.

Mr. Stanton never submits requirements early or before the due date. He always procrastinates at the last minute. Speed is vital. He is easily annoyed when asked too many questions. Mr. Stanton should work on being more responsive to his clients.

I hired Mr. Castillo to keep my son from being relocated to another state, and he did just that. Alfred was also able to get me sole physical custody for my son as well. He always answered my calls, text, emails promptly. Overall Alfred was much better than my original attorney that I hired when I first got divorced. I wish I would have hired him back then, things would’ve gone much better for me and my son. Alfred Castillo is an amazing attorney and I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Al two years ago to assist with my divorce. Due to his incompetence and lack of professionalism we have yet to finalize. He is very unorganized and incompetent with regard to legal documents and basic email etiquette. For the safety of you and your family do NOT hire Al for any professional advice or services.

Speaking to a lawyer is rarely straightforward or enjoyable. But with Ted, it was both! During our consultation, Ted simplified legalese and our team left with a sense of clarity, confidence, and that Ted cared about our small business. Mahalo Ted!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
