I asked a few trusted friends and relative who experienced severe financial hardship. They urged to research about bankruptcy and seek a solid legal advise. This led me to Atty Ed and he just took my anxiety and worry in one quick phone call. I prepared what he required, set an appointment, and after an hour or so, my bankruptcy application was complete. He called me for any update and he is always available, even after 7pm to answer my questions. I can't express enough how thankful I am to Atty Ed. He is really exceptional & restored my hope that I can rebuild a better life moving forward.

Out of all the lawyers my family has used concerning real estate, Ryan Au is by far the best and…read morehas exceeded our expectations. We were very lucky to find him and was grateful he accepted our cases. Ryan is the type of lawyer you would want to have on your side. He is a "no nonsense" type of guy and is very methodical when deliberating the best course of action for your situation. His hourly rate is a little bit higher than the lawyers we previously hired but he is very efficient and is cost effective in the long run. We definitely feel the value we get from his services. Even though he is very straight to the point, he has shown a lot of care for us as his client which we really appreciated. He is definitely our go to person concerning all our legal matters with real estate.

Please do not hesitate calling Ryan for any landlord/tenant issues you may have. We went through a…read morevery difficult eviction, and was so glad that we had Ryan on our side. He called us from the very beginning to make sure he understood our case, and was always there when we needed him. He would always personally call us to make sure what was going on in the case, and make us feel confident we could make it through the process. What we thought would be a long and challenging eviction, turned out to be faster and less difficult than we could have hoped for. Just wanted to mention Christie who is Ryan's process server. She is amazing at her job, and took what was a difficult situation and helped us complete the eviction.

It is so good to be retired! I don't miss the daily alarm at 4:30 am to get ready to face the…read moretraffic to work, deal with the work challenges, running to the market right after work, cooking dinner, and tending to the kids. It was just not enough time to do all that was needed. Now retired, I am, in fact much more busy than when I was working. But there is a big difference: I can choose what I want to do and enjoy every moment of it! We all have that choice to look forward to. I never thought I would be retired at age 58, as I had always thought that age 65 was the magic year. Enter Island Wealth Management (IWM), who made this happen. Started in 2008 by its founder and President of IWM, Brian Enoka, this company provides retirement planning, investment management, and multi-generational asset transfer strategies. They've helped our family to objectively create a customized financial plan for our needs by: * Putting our savings into assets, e.g., stocks and bonds, and managing them via LPL Financials, to realize growth that exceeds regular bank savings. * Overseeing our life insurance plans, as well as ensuring that we have adequate long-term care options. * Utilizing programs that can analyze our income and expenses in any point in time, taking into consideration when our next car will be purchased or any big-ticket items, such as travel, in the coming years. They plug in the numbers to estimate the monies needed and how we will get them. * Setting up a college fund for our grandkids, with the eventual withdrawal of college expenses being tax-exempt. * Coordinating with our Estate Attorney to ensure the proper transfer of assets to the kids. * Coordinating with our Certified Public Accountant to ensure that our tax liabilities are minimized. * Alerting us to take advantage of a little known spousal benefit in collecting social security. IWM's process includes a six-step process in understanding their clients' unique needs and goals: * Establish an advisor/client relationship. * Gather client data. * Analyze and evaluate data. * Develop and present recommendations. * Implementation. * Monitoring. They also provide various workshops for their clients during the year, with outside consultants giving presentations on diverse topics, such as social security benefits, Medicare, long-term care benefits, etc. These workshops allow us to understand complex laws and regulations on a more simplistic level. IWM is located at Waterfront Plaza, also known as Restaurant Row, and provides full validated parking. IWM has six Financial Advisors on staff, with each having many years of specialized expertise in retirement income planning, cash flow analysis, risk management/tax-advantaged investments, and/or insurance: Brian Enoka, Krystal Emge, Lance Miyahira, Grant Hashiba, Mike Moss, and Paul Moon. Accolades to Brian, who was ranked a third place finalist in Hawaii's Best of 2017 by the Honolulu Star Advertiser for Best Financial Advisor (Individual). We work directly with Brian and Krystal, who are always within an arm's reach when we need them to answer any of our questions. And I have called them many times whenever I had the slightest reason to do so, knowing that they will give you their undivided attention no matter how insignificant your question is. They are like family to us. We also have regular meetings at least annually and more often on an as-needed basis to check on our status and review any changes that have recently occurred. I only wished that we had financial advisors when we were in our 20's. Surely, at that time, retirement is the furthest from our minds, but once you have a plan, you could retire much earlier than the expected retirement age. Plus, there is always a way that one can balance savings and enjoying life at the same time. Believe me, these guys make it happen! Not only are we satisfied with their services, but are now encouraging our adult kids to sign them up as their financial advisors. We had never thought we would have needed financial advisors, as we thought they were only for the wealthy. But it is because of IWM that we were able to achieve our life goals and be able to retire comfortably when we did. Thank you, Brian Enoka and Krystal Emge, for your on-point advice in making our retirement truly possible and enjoyable!

Well look no further you have found an estate planning firm that is not only amazing but outright best in the business. I have personally worked with Monica and Tamlyn who are, I have to say, so professional, caring, thoughtful, patient, have an understanding of my sense of humor when it comes to this kind of planning, and man super thorough in explaining everything to make you feel comfortable. There are parts of your life that are difficult to talk about when it comes to planning your estate for your children, especially when you are not at that time of your life to experience it. But Monica understood what we both needed to get done and to make sure our little one was set if ever something happened to both of his moms. When you enter their office it's welcoming and you are assisted in a timely fashion. If you got time to spare and tell them your wishes they are patient with you every step of the way. If you are in a time crunch they are efficient in answering any questions and fulfill any requests within their limitations for the task at hand. Estate Planning is something we all should invest in and I highly recommend this firm as it is for everyone!
