This review is past due. I first retained Kendal Luke in September 2014 after being in a physical, mental and emotional abuse relationship with a military officer. When I met Kendal I was in a very tough situation I was firing my female attorney because of her lack of empathy. When I met Kendal he had less than one week to prepare for my TRO hearing. I was thankful on my initial consultation with Kendal he took a very through history and listened to all my complaints. I was amazed how well prepared Kendal was despite having only a few days to get ready. By the time we went to the first hearing Kendal was well versed.
I was extremely impressed how much Kendal had poured into my case. When speaking to the judge I felt confident and comfortable I had retained Kendal. Unfortunately because of the difficult personality and false allegations from my ex-husband Kendal and I had to go to several more hearings and eventually went to trial. I always felt prepared and knew Kendal would fight on my behalf during court. Kendal was able to keep me calm and was supportive through many of my crying episodes when the divorce proceedings became almost unbearable. If you're looking for an empathic, supportive,caring and ethical attorney then retain Kendal Luke.
I would recommend Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC to anyone in need of an attorney for family matters. As emotional as family matters can be, their attorneys kept me calm by explaining the process and options clearly so that I knew what to expect. Their attorneys insight helped me focus on the goals which I was able to achieve with their guidance. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. As a client, Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC has always treated me with respect and I never felt like I was being judged. The fees are reasonable and actually really a great value for the service and expertise you receive! I highly recommend Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC!
Gavin has been my attorney for nearly 10 years now. My divorce and child custody case was complex and incredibly stressful but Gavin took the time to listen and provide sound counsel on the matter. I immediately retained him and my confidence in him has only grown since. He always promptly returns my phone calls, and has never dropped the ball or missed a filing date. He is fair, knowledgable, and he acts with integrity. -Glad he's my attorney!
ONE WORD "AMAZING". I hired Mr. Luke to represent me in a child custody/support case. Every step of the way Mr. Luke did not sugar coat anything, he was very professional in giving advice and letting, me know my options and what to expect during the process. He insured me that dispute the frustration and stress, trust him because he will make the process as smoothly as possible. I was informed about everything, every step of the way in regards to my case. I was very stressed about winning my case, I would call Mr. Luke and he would ensure that everything would be fine and to leave it up to him.
The staff at Doi/Luke are very respectful and understanding in my situation and worked with me the best way possible. I trusted Mr Luke and his staff and was granted SOLE/LEGAL custody of my daughter. I was very grateful to have Mr. Luke represent me in this case in such short notice. I highly recommend Doi/Luke Law, you will definitely not be disappointed. I can say this with confidence that you will be just as grateful and full of relief when everything is over. Once again THANK YOU Mr. Luke & Staff for everything you have done with my case. I am grateful for your work and will recommend you to everyone I know in Hawaii.
After consulting with several attorneys at the onset of my divorce I chose Mr. Doi and it was one of the best decisions I made during an extraordinarily stressful, trying and difficult stage of my life - A High Conflict Divorce. Mr Doi proved to be very well versed in all legal matters dealing with my divorce. He was honest and straightforward and at the same time remained compassionate and concerned. He cared when no one else seemed to.
Mr. Doi didn't "sugar coat" things, but made it clear as to the clarity of the law, what was fair and appropriate, and conducted himself with highest respect and knowledge in the courtroom. I can retain the honor of knowing we conducted ourselves with dignity during the entire divorce. It was a privilege to be Mr. Doi's client and in such I can, without hesitation, give him my highest recommendation. Mr. Doi is an asset to his field and to the state of Hawaii.
Doi/Luke are amazing lawyers. They answered all my questions, and helped me get through my legal situation so easily! Their staff is also excellent. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends or family. As a bonus, their office is in a super convenient location!
Even with having backed myself into a corner, Gavin was nothing short of amazing! Without Gavin, I don't believe I would have been able to forge an equitable resolution. I couldn't have had better representation. He knows the law, strategy and how to handle the personalities involved. You could always sense he was the nicest guy in the world, but that he would demolish opposing counsel if it were in your best interest. I have the utmost respect for Gavin and highly recommend him as an attorney.
I hired Mr. Doi to represent me in a child custody/relocation case to gain custody of my children. From day one, when I was represented by someone else who failed to be competent, he took the time to listen and explain what he could do and was very realistic. Throughout my experience with Mr. Doi and his staff, they always did an amazing job keeping me informed and up to date with my case and the options we should address. What I truly enjoy is that he has morals—unlike many attorneys—and he respects my decisions and positions for me and my children. I would recommend him hands down and know you will not be disappointed.
Any legal situation is stressful enough, and between emotions and anxiety. In a child custody/relocation case, Mr. Doi “talked me down” many times to help me stay focused on what was important. He is my lawyer and my therapist in some ways. For anyone faced with the stress of family court, he keeps you balanced and on point. Be honest and be truthful, and he will do his best to represent you. He respects my decisions and values my input. With Mr. Doi, you get someone who genuinely cares and helps you navigate the process with integrity and professionalism.
