About Robert
ROBERT “BILL” HASTINGS is the founder of the Hastings, Laun & Houser, LLLC law firm. He has been a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel since 1988, serving as Hawaii State Chairman from 1995 to 2000.
Mr. Hastings has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 1989 and has been recognized by Honolulu Magazine as one of Hawaii’s “A+” attorneys.
