TESTIMONIALS

Here is what “Client C” had to say about the experience working with us. Client C had a very complicated legal situation that involved several cases, including a divorce, and several relationships, including an ex-spouse, that were entrenched in hostile negative patterns. It took years but we were eventually able to achieve better rulings and create better relationships that allowed the parties to interact civilly without the need for continuous court intervention.

"YOU ARE THE ONLY LAWYER IN HAWAII I HAVE EVER RECOMMENDED"

I probably talked to about 20 attorneys, and paid several of them, before consulting with you. You were willing to take the time to explain to me in detail the real terms, not to just bullshit me. You were willing to level with me about how different decisions would cause me to be perceived.

I don’t think either one of us thought the case would end up costing about $70K but given how complicated the situation had become, spending the money was absolutely the right move. You are the only lawyer in Hawaii that I have ever recommended. I wouldn’t rather have had somebody worse for half the money.

What I have learned in this process is along the lines of the old saying, “if you want peace, then prepare for war”. If you have the resources, it is worth it to work on the strategy and get the professional analysis and experts to be ready for litigation from the beginning. And at the same time to be clear with the other parties that you are totally open to, at any time, on any day, settle if they will meet you partway.

In my case I wanted to know and to understand and, with you, we were able to work together to figure out how to move forward. By putting in the time and effort we eventually proved one party wrong, got another party to back off, and finally got to a place where my ex-spouse and I were actually agreeing to stuff. That is the very best goal you can possibly have - to get to that point.

Here is what "Client P" had to say about the experience working with us. In this situation both spouses were professionals with business and assets but were no longer compatible. "P' wanted to ensure that the divorce was as amicable as possible so we took our time to be certain that the process went smoothly. 

 “WE WERE 100% SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING AN AMICABLE OUTCOME”

I contemplated pursuing divorce for a number of years before I was ready to proceed. It’s a very difficult decision to make and it was also a daunting feeling not knowing which attorney to work with. 

 We were residing in Hilo at the time and I began the process by calling the Hawaii State Bar Association, inquiring with them specifically about who was the best divorce attorney to hire. The recommendation from them was Mirtha Oliveros in Hilo. 

 From the very first meeting with Mirtha and throughout the entire experience she was fully present, always listening and respecting how I needed the process to take place. Her expertise in divorce law and insight along with her ability to communicate all aspects of the divorce was invaluable. We were 100% successful in obtaining an amicable outcome!

Here is what “Client I” had to say about the experience working with us. In this situation the spouses had income, assets, and ties in more than one state which had the potential to complicate the divorce.

“I JUST WANTED TO GET IT OVER WITH”

Basically, I just wanted to get it over with as fast as possible. I was looking for the fastest and easiest way. I did not think [my spouse] would cause problems but you never know. [My spouse] had already moved away and left me and the marriage and I was stuck.

I got your name from my friend who had heard about you. After we met, I was willing to put down the money to hire you because I felt comfortable. Being divorced quickly and easily was worth it. You were easy to talk to and you understood and knew what I wanted. I felt that you were going to get it done as quickly as possible.

My best part about the divorce is that it is done! And it was done fast! I would feel good about recommending you. You listened and you were straight upfront about how much it would cost and what you would do. You understood and you followed through and it got done.
