Practice Areas
Business & Contracts
Starting a new business, drafting agreements, complying with regulations, managing employees, tax liability, and resolving disputes - such as breach of contract claims - can be challenging. We clearly guide you through your transactions to maximize the potential of any opportunity.
criminal Defense
When the government prosecutes you for any type of criminal charge, whether it be misdemeanor or felony offenses, it is often overwhelming and unpredictable. You are not alone. We strongly defend our clients against criminal charges in Hawaii District, Family, Circuit, and Traffic Courts.
personal injury
Car accidents and other injuries can be tragic and life-altering. There is always a route to a remedy when someone harms your physical health, real property, personal assets, or reputation. We fight to hold wrongdoers accountable and make our our clients whole again.
trusts & estate planning
Regardless of your situation, we help you rest assured that your loved ones are properly cared for in the future. We carefully craft Living Trusts, Wills, Advance Healthcare Directives, and POAs to ensure your legacy lives on according to your vision. We also draft and record all necessary Deeds to Trust, TODDS, Short-Form Trusts, and other documents necessary to save your beneficiaries from costly probate proceedings.
worker’s compensation
Getting hurt on the job is bad enough without the headache of navigating your worker’s comp claim. Taking proper action after your date of injury is critical to ensure your medical costs and lost wages are fully compensated. As we walk alongside you from the date of injury to the day you return to work or settle, we help protect your interests every step of the way.
real estate transactions
Whether it be drafting deeds and easements or verifying the accuracy of title reports, we will diligently analyze your land transaction and documents with focus and attention to detail. We can assist you at every stage of your transaction - from reviewing purchase or mortgage agreements, to recording with the BOC.
Intellectual Property
We work with the USPTO, state filing agencies, and performance societies to protect your clothing brand, song, invention, or other original works from infringement.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
The Hawaii State Constitution guarantees all Hawaii residents a clean and healthful environment. We will not hesitate to defend that right from any threats to our precious ecological systems.
Hawaiian Rights
Native Hawaiians have extensive protections under state and federal law. We stand by our commitment to upholding the rights of Kanaka Maoli here in Hawaii.
