About Lars
Biography
I was born and raised in Germany and relocated to Hawai’i in 1999. After graduating from the University of Konstanz School of Law in 1997 and completing the mandatory two-year clerkship, I obtained my German juris doctor degree. After relocating to Hawai'i, I first attended the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, then the University of Cincinnati College of Law, where I was awarded the American Bankruptcy Institute Certificate of Excellence in Bankruptcy and received my U.S. juris doctor degree in 2005.
