This Yelp review is due to his graciousness in responding back to me via Yelp. I had a legal…read moreinquiry and utilized Yelp for assistance. I went on several websites but received no response. I was able to email Mr Healy and get my questions answered. He seemed to care about my situation and although he doesn't practice what I'm seeking he took time to find out and answer my questions which was greatly appreciated. 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.

After over a week of making calls, sending emails and being shut down it felt like I had 30 seconds…read moreleft in the last round of a championship fight. 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.

I needed a reliable and responsive attorney to step into my custody/paternity case after the first…read moreone I had hired proved to be inadequate and downright negligent. I sent an email to Lynne McGivern, recommended to me by a another attorney (Greg Ryan) and she responded to my email within a day, just to let me know that she was preparing for another hearing that needed a lot of her attention as it was extremely important to that client, but that we would connect soon. Green flag #1. We scheduled a meeting within a couple of days and after explaining the uniqueness of my situation, she quickly stepped up and took over. It was an extremely valuable consultation and one that I recommend to anyone who is looking around for help. The cost was $300 with no time limit. She met me on a Saturday morning to accommodate my schedule. This was only 10 days before my next hearing was to take place and in that short period of time she not only managed to file the appropriate forms that my former attorney failed to file, but also draft a declaration for me based on my story, which was eloquently written and submitted to the court. What stood out to me was her empathy when she drafted this form. When we read the final copy she asked me if I was okay because it was "all of your trauma written down". In this same time she managed to get ahold of the other party's full police records, and get me into the Kids First program that my former lawyer said was unimportant. She helped guide me through my expectations and discuss what was reasonable and what might take some time, and by the time my next hearing occurred she made sure she fully understood our situation and was extremely well prepared for court to defend our position to the judge. On the day of my hearing, Lynne exceeded every expectation I had. She was passionate and well spoken, and because of her actions and effort I won the first battle of my case which was getting sole legal and sole physical custody. She also ensured that any visitation with the other party was supervised and recommended a wonderful private visitation supervisor who was great to my child and made a scary situation more comfortable. I appreciated her foresight and thought about my 13 year old who likely would not have enjoyed PACT. It speaks to her experience and empathy. In between the first and next hearing to revisit the visitation schedule, Lynne continued to prepare even though we had already achieved what I initially asked for. She asked for teachers letters, counselors and therapist reports, and visitation supervisor reports, and by the time we went back to court she was again extremely well prepared. We managed to close the case with everything settled. Overall I am extremely grateful to Lynne and Anita, who both went above and beyond for me and my case. The two of them make a wonderful team and have quickly responded to every email, made sure every form was completed correctly and submitted on time, and made me feel truly heard and safe during this process. I appreciate her experience and the way that she understood what "could" happen and her approach to fighting for me and what I asked for.

He apparently is the only lawyer that has any, but limited knowledge in estate planning and did a horrific job. Our only solution was to go to a firm that specializes in estate law and write off the fees as a terrible mistake. Stay away from this firm! JM
