Of the 43 practice specialties, lawyers in six practice specialties in Hawaii (family law, banking law, personal injury litigation, real estate law, corporate law, and "bet-the-company litigation") were designated "Lawyer of the Year."

Divorce With Complex Financial Issues:
We have been, for many years, the only law firm in Hawaii specializing in the representation of clients involved in more financially complex divorces. We will only represent those clients who legitimately need the kind of skill, experience, technical ability, attention to detail, standard of quality, and discretion which we offer. With going on four decades of experience, we have the skill and ability to successfully handle any divorce, no matter how complicated.

"Discreet, Dignified, Done Right":
Our approach to divorce law is best described by our motto: "Discreet, Dignified, Done Right." We go to great lengths to protect the privacy of our clients' personal and financial matters. We believe in a dignified approach because it produces the best results. We scrupulously attend to every aspect of every client's divorce, from the very beginning to the very end, to ensure that, when it's over, there are absolutely no "legal loose ends."

Hawaii's Divorce Educators:
We are Hawaii's best-known divorce educators. Since 1990 we have published the monthly Journal of Hawaii Family Law, since 1994 we have been the editor of the Hawaii State Bar Association's annually updated Hawaii Divorce Manual, and since 2002 we have presented the monthly Divorce Law in Hawaii and Divorce Options in Hawaii public education programs at the Hawaii Supreme Court. We believe that the fullest possible knowledge of the law and process of divorce on the part of all concerned contributes significantly to the elimination of needless conflict and expense in resolving matrimonial issues.

A Wide Range of Options:
We offer the widest range of options to those with more financially complicated marital issues and challenges.

-We provide traditional representation to spouses in the process of divorce. We are skilled negotiators who successfully settle the vast majority of our cases. We are also seasoned litigators with experience in some of Hawaii's most notable landmark divorce trials and appeals, should a hearing or a trial before the Family Court, or an appeal to the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals or the Hawaii Supreme Court, be required.

-We prepare postnuptial agreements for spouses as a viable alternative to separation or divorce.

-We represent spouses in collaborative engagements, where lawyers are retained to settle cases, and not litigate, and if litigation ensues, new attorneys are required.

-We are experienced divorce mediators, arbitrators, private judges, and masters.
