In Hawaii, probate, guardianship and trust practice areas of the law are very specialized and very few lawyers have the experience to litigate disputes involving estates and trusts – we have that experience. Our firm of Hawaii fiduciary litigation attorneys has the capabilities and personnel to handle any size lawsuit. In some cases, we are willing to take the case on a contingent fee basis. We also welcome the opportunity to jointly represent cases with other attorneys.
