Greg is professional, responsive, and always makes time to answer questions. He has the right playbook and strategy for any legal situation. Before seeking Greg's advice, I had several court appearances, which resulted in continuations. However, after consulting with Greg, my case was resolved in just one session.

Biased, unprofessional, and a total waste of money -- Katie Bennett made my divorce worse, not…read morebetter. If I could give zero stars, I would. Katie Bennett was one of the most unprofessional people I've ever dealt with in a supposed "mediation" setting. During my divorce, she openly judged me when I mentioned I was dating again--making a face and suggesting my now-husband could be "a predator." That was not only insulting but completely baseless. My husband is a wonderful, supportive partner--the opposite of my ex. Her behavior was out of line and totally inappropriate for a mediator. She also had no problem disturbing me while I was on vacation either with an unnecessary phone call to lecture me about "communication" with my ex, only because my ex complained to her. It was intrusive, biased, and unprofessional. Despite months of exhausting sessions and thousands of dollars, I ended up caving to my ex's demands because Katie repeatedly dismissed my concerns and failed to advocate for a fair resolution. She insisted the final divorce decree was "good to go." Years later, I'm still stuck battling over parenting plans and financial issues because of how poorly this was handled. Katie constantly pushed against the idea of going to court, warning me it would "not be advisable." Looking back, court may have been the far better option compared to the ongoing mess created by her biased and ineffective mediation. Bottom line: Katie Bennett is biased, unprofessional, and a complete waste of time and money. Save yourself the time, money, and trauma -- do NOT hire her no matter what your lawyer advise you. If your lawyer says great things about Katie Bennett, find another lawyer.

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.

They were also trainers for our company for of course, Dispute Resolution. When I was in litigation with a company for injuries sustained on their property, we finally ended up at Mediation in lieu of jury trial. After a brief introduction, or "re-introduction", Mr. Hunter explained the process, to which I compared to buying a car at a dealer. Both he and my attorney chuckled and said "kind of"... It's a "make your best deal effort". This worked for me... as I was in my element. Without telling enough of the story to give away the details, we did okay. :) Mediation is very much like buying a car... but if you're negotiating a divorce settlement? Don't do that to your Estranged Wife! (Its not Burger King, you cant get it your way!) Just remember who your adversary is.

The program is much more in-depth that any vision board advice you will find on Pinterest, and the coaching sessions at the completion are amazing. I am still working on my dream life, but look forward to seeing the items on my dreamboard come to fruition. Some of the things already have. : )

I have been working with Tiare for over a year a half in the Dream Life and Legacy Academy. From…read morethe beginning I've had confidence all over my dream boards. I can feel myself everyday becoming more and more confident in myself. I wake up every morning feeling grateful for the person I am today. If you had told me I would be feeling that 2 years ago, I wouldn't have believed you!   Before being in the Dream Haven I was feeling lost, unsure of myself and my goals in life, emotionally unaware, I knew I wanted to make an impact but I didn't know how. And now, 1.5 years later, I am crystal clear on my goals and dreams, I know just how to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on the world, and I am confident that I have the tools within me to manage any struggles that come my way. I feel so empowered and I'm so grateful I get to share what I've learned with my clients.   Some other dreams I've manifested in the last couple years have been: Solo camping, teaching group fitness classes, connecting with other life coaches and retreat facilitators, investing in a life coach and NLP certification course in Mexico, starting my own podcast, creating a more loving relationship with my parents, surfing with confidence, healthy digestion, learning EFT, practice clients after my NLP training, and seeing Elton John in concert in LA!   I don't know where I would be without Tiare and Aloha Dreamboard. I have never been so clear on who I am and what I want to do in my life. My relationships are healthier, my values are stronger, my dreams are clearer, my self worth and self love is more vibrant, and my vibrations are vibrating so high! I feel more at home in my skin and truly love the person I am becoming. I still have struggles, battle depression, and have days where I want to give up and let all my dreams float away. However, I now have the tools within me and the support from the Dream Haven and my close relationships to help me through it. I feel more emotionally balanced and am continuing to learn what that balance looks like in different aspects of my life. I couldn't have done all this and feel the way I do today without Tiare and the loving members of the Dream Haven. I am so grateful and so honored to have all of these special people in my life.

Andrea Blackstone and her team are amazing…read more We had been working on trying to find fair legal representation for over a year. Most of the lawyers often told us (my boyfriend) that there was nothing that could be done to make a case to have 50/50 rights to his son since the original orders were already set due to being late to his court hearing. He's an amazing father and often he or his family was caring for his son majority of the week or making changes at the drop of a dime to avoid any "repercussions". Bottom line there were too many grey areas that only ended up causing stress and pressure for his son. While trying to find representation (while being discouraged again and again) one lawyer recommended The Children's Law Center as a way to get mediation and help with co-parenting. We accidentally got a consultation for representation which was the best mistake. They went over realistic expectations. Even explained with us why the other lawyers discouraged reopening the case. They were very transparent and even explained and set the right expectations of what were the realistic changes they would help my boyfriend request, always with his sons well being and future success as the main priority. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. We have seen so many spend 10s of Thousands of $$$ just to be disappointed because the outcome wasn't what they were expecting or wanted. Andrea and her team listened to my boyfriends story, showed empathy with his frustrations, learned the other side of the story directly from his sons mother and ultimately laid out options that would best benefit his son. They used their time very effectively and gave us easy to understand itemized bills to show where the money was going. I wish he was the one to write this review however he's a man of little words. Thank you very much. Highly recommend!!!
