10+ Years of Experience

I am an experienced criminal defense attorney on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii providing legal representation in all courts throughout the Hawaiian Islands and to military members anywhere in the world. I am admitted to practice law in California and Hawaii. The focus of my practice is defending civilians and servicemembers accused of a crime. However, I have a full service practice and you do not need to search any further for an attorney to represent you in any matter.
