Do not let our location fool you. The fact that our firm is located in Honolulu on the island of Oahu may make it seem as though our clientele is limited to Oahu residents but that is not the case at all. While it is true that our firm of criminal defense lawyers serves clients throughout Hawai’i, (including Oahu, Hawai’i, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai) we have appeared in courts throughout the United States. In addition to the location, we represent clients in all state, federal, military, and appellate courts. Our attorneys are licensed to practice law in Hawai’i, New Jersey, California, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.
We have even represented local clientele globally. Some international jurisdictions have included Japan, the Philippines, and New Zealand.
