My husband and I have been working with Okura Law over many years after we were first introduced to them at an estate planning seminar. Every encounter has been positive, and all staff were professional, friendly and provided high quality service. They individualized estate plans for us and were extremely patient in understanding our life situations/needs, clarifying and answering our many questions. Thank you everyone at Okura Law!

Most helpful office ever! Highly recommended!

It was my pleasure to work with Okura & Associates over several months in the Fall of 2023 to establish an estate plan and Trust. Each and every legal and admin person I worked with was exceptionally competent, knowledgeable, helpful and patient with all my many questions. Mahalo nui to Melissa, Ethan, Michelle and all the office staff. The finished product we developed is extensive and gives me peace of mind.

I needed help with my brothrrs longterm medicaid. Chanelle Gaison was extremely helpful and started the review process with patience and care. Met with Ethan Okura and Ms Gaison. They had reviewed my brother's information thoroughly and were prepared for my questions. They were very informative, and were able to help us with specific steps, and gave us the piece of mind we needed.

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.

Ethan is definitely God sent! Timing could have not been more impeccable for our family. He gracefully stepped in and swiftly executed an estate plan for my Aunty. His knowledge, experience and compassion is an absolute game changer! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Ethan for everything you have done for our family. We are forever grateful!

My mother and I reached out to Okura & Associates for advice on my father’s long-term care options. From the start, everyone was very helpful and honest about their services. Michelle was our initial contact who set-up the consultation with Carroll “Cary” Dortch, the attorney. Cary explained everything in detail and was patient as he answered a million of my questions. We’ve since been corresponding with Chanelle, who has been absolutely amazing in handling my father’s case. Everyone we had contact with are very knowledgeable in elder law and we feel at peace knowing that they are taking care of our family’s needs. I haven’t compared fees to other attorney offices, however Okura & Associates charged us a flat fee, which we felt was very reasonable for their quality of services. I would not hesitate to recommend them and/or utilize them again.

Everyone was very helpful and friendly. It was a great experience.

My Estate Planning went smoothly and the fruits of my hard work will be protected in the future. Thank you Okura & Associates!

I had a great and informative experience which I would definitely recommend to others. The process was easy and they explained everything throughly. After our documents was done I was impressed of how organized it was and easy to read. Also the staff was friendly and courteous.

After trying several other estate attorneys with no lasting satisfaction, my mom and her late husband went to Sanford OKURA Esq. for estate planning help “back in the day”. They were very impressed with Mr Okura’s work on their estate. When her husband passed away, my mom went back to OKURA associates for additional estate planning help. My mom has utilized their help 2 or 3 times to date. In the Fall 2022, Melissa Summers-Day Esq. revised my mom’s trust, will and health care documents. We are extremely impressed with all the assistance and support by this law firm. Everyone has been super helpful and easy to communicate with. Fast forward to January 2023 and Ethan OKURA Esq as well as Melissa are working with our family on some additional legal issues which have arisen. We have great confidence and trust in Ethan OKURA Esq. , Melissa Summers-Day Esq. and their staff. We appreciate all the legal assistance and work this office has provided to our family over the past 20 years. They are easy to communicate with, very helpful, very skilled in legal issues and practices. We recommend their legal assistance. Mahalo OKURA and Associates Esq.

My family and I were panicked about what to do with my uncle. I did not understand the Medicaid system and no one could explain to me what was going on and how to deal with it. I asked Victoria to take a look at the letters, emails and documentation and she immediately told me what the plan would be and how we could proceed. I had many sleepless nights trying to figure things out on my own and once Victoria and Chanelle took over, I was extremely relieved they were on my side. Once they were able to reestablish him into Medicaid, my family was so grateful because we knew there was no way we could have done any of this ourselves. We needed professionals who were experienced and could guide us through the process. Our faith was in Victoria and Chanelle and they were amazing. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs legal advice and support. We are eternally grateful for all their help!
