It was a great pleasure and experience knowing that there are honest and good lawyers willing to do right by their client. At first I thought he was going to refer us to another colleague but I had this strong feeling about this lawyer being the right person for us. 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. I feel like he's our go to lawyer if ever I need one.

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).

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.

This office appears to have been disorganized and unresponsive. I initially spoke with Amber, the…read moreadministrative/legal assistant, on behalf of my daughter to confirm that the firm did not already represent her husband. Amber provided Mr. Perrault's email address, and my daughter subsequently sent him a Fact Sheet along with a request for a consultation. After 10 days and receiving no response, I called the office to follow up. Allurie informed me that Mr. Perrault was unavailable but assured me that she would relay a message requesting that he contact my daughter. After an additional week passed without any response, we sent a second email to Mr. Perrault asking that the document previously sent be destroyed. Mr. Perrault replied that he had never received the document and indicated that it had not been reviewed. This suggests there may have been a breakdown in internal communication within the office.

When it rains, it pours, and it was "storming" in my life when I called Doi & Luke Island Lawyers…read more I was seeking a female attorney by referral but found that she no longer worked there. Emily, who received my call, warmly suggested that I speak with Kendal Luke, who patiently listened as I explained my situation and showed real concern. It wasn't until I shopped around and spoke with more than a half a dozen other attorneys, that I realized how fortunate I was to have found Kendal Luke on my first attempt. Every other attorney I spoke with after him I found to be abrupt, condescending and wary of answering too many questions during that first complimentary call. Kendal Luke, on the other hand, treated me more like a friend rather than a number, and was open to discussing any question I had. I felt at ease with him. He certainly stood out like a gem among the rocks. So, when it was time for me to hire an attorney, he was my obvious choice. But would he be a good attorney? Time would tell. Throughout the proceedings, which took more than a year, there were many highs and lows and even times of frustration, such as that which occurs even between the best of friends. Yet, through it all, Kendal Luke and his staff stuck by me and always treated me with value and respect. He never pressured me to compromise on my values, even when I began to waver. I also appreciated that he didn't nickel-and-dime me, as is so common with attorneys, but was always reasonable when accounting his fees. Most importantly, during the critical moments of the case, it would be his capacity for compassion that was key to representing me well. This is what drew me to selecting him, and I really feel that I couldn't have selected a better attorney. Now that my case has finally come to a close, I look back and am so thankful for having the team of Doi & Luke on my side. Kendal Luke and his staff often went above and beyond in various ways, so that I always felt as though I was among friends. "Island Lawyers" is a fitting name for this firm as they truly reflect the down-to-earth warmth that characterizes our islands. Mahalo nui loa, Kendal Luke and Team! I will be forever grateful.

I strongly advise against hiring Norman Wong with the law firm of Carmen Di-Amore Siah…read more My experience has been extremely negative. Before I paid the retainer, I was given an overly optimistic picture of my case and led to believe that achieving certain outcomes would be simple. I paid a $5,000 retainer, plus an additional $5,000+ for documents and investigations that I specifically requested. In the end, I felt that this work was used against me rather than to support my case. After retaining Mr. Wong, I did not see any meaningful action taken to benefit me or my children. Communication has been poor and inconsistent. Messages and questions were often not returned in a timely manner. When I wanted to object to certain matters, I was repeatedly advised not to--advice that I believe has harmed my case and potentially affected my children's future. In my opinion, Mr. Wong has demonstrated a lack of professionalism, reliability, and advocacy on my behalf. I have felt neglected, disrespected, and unsupported throughout this process. At times, it has seemed as though he was more responsive to the opposing party's needs than to mine. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Norman Wong or the law firm of Carmen Di-Amore Siah, and I would encourage others to seek representation elsewhere.
