About Law Firm
​
We represent both victims of negligence as well as defend persons from claims. We also collect personal and commercial debts as well as defend against abusive collection agencies.
We represent our clients on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee is a fee that the lawyer earns only if he/she recovers money for you. If there is no recovery there is no fee. The fee is a percentage of the recovery. We charge a 1/3 (33.33%) contingency fee, meaning that if we recover for you, we receive 33.33% of and from the recovery. If we file a lawsuit for you, the fee increases only 1.67% to 35.00%. The Hawaii General Excise Tax (4.172%) is also applied to the fee. The advantage to a contingency fee is that the client does not have to pay any money to hire us. The only items that a client would have to pay for are "costs". However, costs are only incurred with your prior consent. Typical costs are the court filing fee (between $140 and $400 depending on the court), medical record fees, court reporter fees, expert fees and expenses, and investigation search fees.
