As a fellow Hawaii family law attorney, I highly recommend Emma Littman and the Law Office of Emma…read moreLittman Baker. I've had the opportunity to work with her on divorce and custody matters, and she is exactly the kind of advocate clients need in what are often difficult and highly emotional cases. Emma is knowledgeable, strategic, and consistently well-prepared. She has a strong command of the Hawaii family law, as well as courtroom rules and procedures, and she handles complex issues with clarity and precision. Just as importantly, she exercises sound judgment and takes a practical, client-focused approach to resolving cases. Emma strikes an excellent balance between being a strong advocate and a professional, reasonable counterpart. She knows when to push and when to work toward resolution, which is critical in family law. That balance makes her effective both in negotiations and in litigation. Emma also maintains a high level of professionalism and credibility with opposing counsel and the Hawaii Family Court, which speaks volumes about her, personally and professionally. When presented with the opportunity, I recommend Hawaii family law attorney Emma Littman, highly and without reservation.

If I could explain Emma in one phrase: A breath of fresh air. Her reviews are what drew me to her, and my experience is what showed her high rating. Emma is beyond knowledgeable, and accommodating with giving you the knowledge to do your own work without giving the pushy "Hire me" spill at the end. If you decide to select Emma, you will do so 100% of your choice. But listen, if you choose her, she is a bulldog to get what is fair and to let you breathe as her and her assistant tackle all those tedious admin tasks. Thank you so much!!!

It was a great pleasure and experience knowing that there are honest and good lawyers willing to do right by their client.

He turned out to be exactly what we needed throughout the process. He also was reasonable in guiding his clients so court costs were kept as minimal as possible.

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.

I was already nearly a year and a half into the divorce when Jared took on my highly contentious case.

He worked hard to help mediate between both parties and ended up helping us settle the day we were supposed to set a date for trial. I greatly appreciate his attentiveness and flexibility. I highly recommend him to represent you!

Long story short Mr. Glenn took on the case did not go through all the bells whistles hoops and shenanigans the other attorney put me through presented the case totally ripped the Custody Evaluator to shreds and won the case for my children and I ! I can't say enough about Mr. Glenn he is absolutely amazing he knows custody law like the back of his hand and performs like a poet in court, he speaks out challenges and always one step ahead of the game. He's affordable doesn't overcharge and honest. Trust me when I say high profile firms can't touch Mr. Glenn his track record speaks for itself his integrity unmatched! my only regret that I didn't come to him first instead of wasting time money and energy with the other attorney that clearly didn't have my best interests at hand.

If life were a poker game, sometimes we're dealt with a bad hand. And, when that happens, there…read moredoesn't seem to be much we can do to change the fate of the game in which we're playing: Exactly 12 years ago (to the day I took this photo of our final court date), I met my now ex-husband...Funny, how life works. Some would say it's a matter of choice-- others might say it may be a karmic lesson-- either way, I'm glad it's finally over; Thank you, Mitchell! For those of you in search of the right attorney to take you through a major life decision (one filled with many emotions)-- you might've stumbled upon some negative reviews of Mitchell. I can't say anything about these personal experience(s), but I'd like to share with you mine instead-- Giving others the benefit of the doubt and not relying on internet reviews, I was undeterred and called Mitchell. After all, you never know these days-- sometimes personality clashes can happen between people, but that's not to say that your own experience would be the same. After consulting with 3 other attorneys (who had raving reviews), I contacted Mitchell. With the fear of the unknown being at the top, along with the lack of financial strength--I researched and asked detailed questions regarding contested divorce cases. He eased my worries and answered all my concerns--instilling confidence in me, I decided to move forward with him. After a year of a "pending" divorce, I learned things can change within minutes. If you have an ex-spouse who is the reason for a contested divorce, you'll learn that being on edge and desiring to give up happens a lot. Every time you feel cheated/bullied/attacked in some way by your ex, you will want to cry and not know how best to move forward. With Mitchell's help, however, each time I had doubts about something, he was always ready to call and talk to me. He looked out for me and my best interests and encouraged me to fight when needed. It takes courage to walk away from an unhealthy relationship and when you have someone supportive and having your back during the hardest of times, and being your sounding board for anything that requires logic, deeper analysis, or tact and a good game plan--you would be lucky! This is how I feel my experience with Mitchell has been. On another note-- I hope those of you reading this understand, from a business perspective, that attorneys are very busy filing cases, and there are only X amount of judges (I think 3) handling thousands of divorce cases every day on Oahu (i.e. contested divorces can take years to close). Mitchell works hard on all his client files (weekends/ weeknights). Email responses and phone conversations from him late nights tell me that he does his best to respond. So for those who say he doesn't respond, that isn't true. I'm a busy working professional myself; I can relate in this regard. How you handle this is through communication of expectations, compassion, patience, and definitely respect for each other. It might take a few calls/emails/texts to get a response, but I was always responded to when needed most. If you're looking for someone to represent you, with less overhead/staff and a smaller office, you may find yourself having to pre-fill out forms (no biggie!). Other attorneys will charge thousands of dollars for something we can do with our own hands! A little legwork on our end saves money to help us move forward when and where we need to, especially if your case feels anything like mine-- where the future seems uncertain, yet for the better. In summary, I highly recommend Mitchell to represent your case; he will be my go-to attorney a hundred times over. He has years of experience, knowledge in this field, isn't driven by money (just compassion and understanding) and witnessed/experienced many contested cases in various aspects/regards; you will feel less alone in your journey. (I can't thank you enough, Mitchell, for the past 12 months of your representation and service. I hope this review will help others find you in their greatest time of need).
