I waited a few years before I reached out to an attorney, who shall remain nameless, who has ads and commercials claiming to help you with your Social Security Claim, but I was denied during my intake. So, when I reached out to Hawaii Disability Legal Services for assistance with my claim, I was less optimistic that they could or would help me but from day one they were very attentive and active with my claim. They stayed in contact with me and provided me with updates on the status of my claim over the years. I was discouraged, again, after being denied, again but I was encouraged to trust the process and not give up hope. They appealed the decision and requested that I submit some relevant information regarding my treatment and providers. I was scheduled to have a hearing several months later and they were in contact with me throughout the process. TLDR Diane and her team fought like hell and helped me get approved. I would suggest that if you are serious about your claim and want to have a chance of winning, do yourself a favor and call or email them asap.

I was able to email Mr Healy and get my questions answered.

I can imagine he's a top notch attorney and it's unfortunate for me not being able to retain him but lucky for those who do.

Gassed out, eyes almost shut, backed into a corner by a 16-0 opponent trying to keep the fight from going to the judges. If you know the feeling, you can understand how time slows down, the room goes silent and you hear one voice yelling from your corner "Weave hook!" ...and in that moment of clarity you dig deep and blindly, weave, hook and connect. Not for the win, but just enough to finish the round still standing. That feeling of losing a match, but winning hope is hard to explain. Its a lesson you can only learn by staying in the fight and not giving up, knowing that when it comes right down to it, and you need help, you have someone in your corner to help you learn from your mistakes, train, come back and fight another day. That is what it feels like working with Michael Healy. He sees openings, strategies and angles no one else sees, and he keeps you in the fight even when you almost feel like its over. Easily one of the best attorneys to work with in Hawaii bar none.

When I met Jason for the first time, the first thing he said was, "I am so sorry that you are going through this. Nobody deserves it." I cried so much and felt relieved. I didn't need to win the case. I just wanted someone to hear how much I had suffered from this emotional stress. I knew it was going to be a long journey, but I wanted to find justice. From the beginning, he was very honest. If he didn't take my case, I'm pretty sure I would have been lost. He is one of the best, and he will fight for you.

5‑Star Review for Pedric Arrisgado…read more If you need a strong, confident attorney, I highly recommend Pedric Arrisgado. He genuinely stands out -- not just because he looks a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio, but because he carries himself with the same calm confidence. From day one, I never felt like just another client. He gave me a direct line to his cell phone, no secretary, no gatekeeping, no screening. Yes, he's busy -- extremely busy -- but he will get your messages and he will get back to you. That level of direct access is rare and honestly one of the things I appreciated most. He's also surprisingly easy to be around. Smart, sharp, and actually kind of fun, which is not something you expect to say about a lawyer when you're dealing with stressful situations. Overall, I felt supported, taken seriously, and treated like a real person. I highly recommend him.

He was able to navigate that effectively and get the matter overturned. He is realistic and provides honest, professional advice, but it always comes from a genuine place. This was a very difficult experience for me, especially having no prior involvement with the legal system, and he guided me through it with clarity and confidence. Like any highly capable attorney, he is busy but when it matters most, he shows up prepared and focused where it counts and that is in the courtroom.
