First, I would like to say I am an actual client of Jared Washkowitz. Unlike the opposition that left a negative comment on his page. But it says a lot about an attorney when the opposition leaves a negative comment. It says that he is the attorney you want to represent you. Hiring Jared was one of the best decisions I’ve made, to represent me with one of the worse decisions I’ve ever made. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. This simple divorce case was drawn out unnecessarily by the oppositions for almost two years. Her motivation was to “try” to take everything I earned because I no longer was willing to be used and wanted out of the toxic, dysfunctional marriage. Fortunately, Jared was with me every step of the way. He was with me through all the useless (mandatory) mediation sessions, crazy rants, harassing emails and text, false accusations, fabrications, defamation and straight lies from the opposition. He reassured me that everything was going to be ok and to trust the legal process. That was sound advice because at the end of it all, the Judge ruled in our favor. I served honorably for over 25 years, so trust when I say he’s military friendly. So, if you’re looking for a lawyer who’s competent, trustworthy, honest, reliable, responsive, and hardworking; Jared Washkowitz is the attorney you want.

Jared went above and beyond to help me with my custody case , he was always easy to reach no matter day or time , responded quickly and well to my concerns and or questions , and dealt with the opposing party for me , I highly recommend him as he is one of the best attorneys I have hired !!

Jared is excellent is the law field, whether it’s custody, child support, tros, housing, small claims. He is well knowledgeable about the laws and gives the best advice on what to do. Any questions you have he’s definitely the best to consult with. I would recommend you to hire him as an attorney as he’s quick & always delivers to what you want. I got my son back & thankful for Jared and his hard work. Jared also has a great price if you want him to represent you, and he works with you if you are in a financial distress. He is truly the best lawyer on Oahu & I would recommend anybody who’s unsure about attorneys should definitely go with Jared. Thank you Jared for everything, you are truly appreciated.

Jared is all about results not billable hours. I consulted with Jared about child support documents and he provided good points and clarity on our situation. He gave good advise and guidance on how to proceed. I will definitely seek his services in the future and recommend him to our family and friends. Thanks, Jared!

After going through three previous law firms in Oahu, Jared was all I needed in my years long divorce/ custody battle. Jared was honest, up front, accommodating, and settled my case when I had given up hope in Oahu with representation. You will not be disappointed, Jared is rare and executes!

I was going through an extremely challenging situation in my marriage, and did not know what to do or where to start. I had heard horror stories of lawyers costing a fortune and taking forever to get things done, but Jared was the opposite of that. He exceeded my every expectation; extremely knowledgeable and is committed to getting things done right away. He explained everything to me step by step, and kept me updated throughout. Any concerns were dealt with promptly and professionally. Jared put my mind at ease, checking in on me from time to time, making sure I had no unanswered questions or concerns. The process was quick and affordable, and I recommend Jared.

Jared helped me in the transaction of selling my lawn and landscape company. He was very helpful in making sure that all paperwork protected my (the seller) interest in a owner financed transaction that will ensure payments for the life of the loan. I was also very impressed in how quickly he always responded to any questions I had and how he also asked questions to make sure all documentation was as it needed to be for the specific needs to my transaction. Thank you Jared!

I actually contacted Mr. Washkowitz twice, as I hadn't heard anything the first time. And while he gave me information I expected, it came across as not really interested - maybe because it was in email, not actually over the phone - which I think I didn't provide a phone number, so not his fault - it was just that I didn't feel that he was vested in my case. Though I sent a few pictures, and explained there were 3 separate incidents. With that said, I gave him a good rating, because I didn't tell him everything, just a few items about my claim. From those few items, he covered items that I was concerned over. Explained that it could/would be financially draining, etc. Which going into any lawsuit is. I already saw what the fee is for an hour, and that's just the lawyer, doesn't cover any assistants or legal aids, people that need to be paid to make an investigation and come to a conclusion or testify, that may be needed, which may not be as large hourly, but still. So, if it wasn't worth it, even based on actual vs. principal, wouldn't even bother calling. Because this isn't something someone can tell me an estimate for, and guarantee it won't be more than, as if it needs to go to court, wait time, etc. will just keep adding up. It was the 'no guarantee' and that was it, that left me feeling like he didn't have faith in his ability to win or that he saw my claim as being worth it. I appreciate that it's honest. As it's a third party who will decide the outcome if we go to court. I obviously believe that anyone who doesn't see the damage caused by another person/party, should be compensated and made whole, is wrong, but I am partial cause it's my property. It was the feeling of not having someone who felt the way I did, that not only were lives jeopardized during each occurrence; harassment from the employees of the company; the lack of consideration to my property, and using it as a dumping ground; the overall lack of follow through; etc. that I went through - actually still going through. There was just something about that last sentence that left me feeling uneasy. I expect a judge to be impartial, but fair - but a lawyer I need to understand and empathize with my situation. I want to know, feel, that they are all in, to support conveying my feelings and frustrations to the court, to the best of their ability. I would recommend people to him, because he actually read what I sent him, which I found rare and responded professionally. With while I may change my mind if I can't find what I'm looking for, and see if he's willing at that time... In any event, Mr. Washkowitz took the time to contact me; spent time actually reading what I sent (which to me, makes him automatically a good lawyer - as I've gone through the sending only to be asked the same questions I've already answered in my email); and I'm grateful he took the time to answer me in a professional and honest manner. Thank you.

I am a Hawaii-based business consultant/developer , who hired Jared to help me to get paid for services I had provided to a former client of mine. I was dreading the arduous and bureaucratic process, but Jared was so professional and efficient, he helped the procedure go very smoothly. From your first conversation with Jared, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. It took Jared only one well written/to the point letter to my former client that spelled out how we would proceed, if we wouldn't get paid promptly. RESULT: We got paid within a couple of weeks. Last but not least; since Jared opted to sublease a reasonable priced office space in the heart of downtown, he was/is able to offer a compatible rate. Not cheap, but compatible. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Jared. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Jared.

While on vacation I suffered an injury on a boating excursion that changed my life and activity level in many ways. I first learned about Jared by researching for a personal injury attorney specializing in maritime law in Hawaii through the AVVO website. His high rating and positive reviews led me to contact him. I was not disappointed! I had never been part of lawsuit before and was very nervous about the whole process. Jared listened to me and provided me excellent feedback and advice so that I felt comfortable moving forward with the case. He is not only very knowledgeable and professional but also personable, patient and understanding, easily available (even with our different time zones), always willing to answer my questions, explain my options, and calm me down when I would get stressed over the legal process. Jared really cares about his clients and treated me like a friend and a real person and not just as "another case". I feel very blessed to have Jared as my attorney, and now also my friend, and was very pleased with the results of my case. I highly recommend Jared to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Most of my clients are elderly and have a hard time finding people to trust. My client asked me to find her an attorney and I connected her to Jared. She is so thankful! He was so patient and understanding. Best of all, he won her case! My client and I highly recommend Jared!

I recently worked Jared Washkowitz for legal assistance regarding my business, and navigating which type of entity the business should be set up as. Jared gave me excellent feedback on my options, and quickly made things happen. He is very knowledgeable, understands the Hawaii business market, and is very professional.
