Want Justice? Look No Further...

"Andrew Marcantel is a total powerhouse of a criminal defense attorney and I am proud to work alongside him at the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm in Hawai'i. He works hard and determined to get the best possible outcome for our clients."
"Andrew is second-to-none. He is passionate, hard working, and incredibly bright. Andrew treats everyone with dignity and respect. He also fights incredibly hard for the client and holds nothing back. Andrews ability to educate clients and Attorneys is impeccable. His patience and knowledge, combined with his personality, make him an ideal attorney. I endorse this lawyer."
"I have been practicing criminal law for over 21 years. In that time, I have hired many lawyers to work for my law firm. Because our standards are so high, most of the lawyers I hire don't make it at my firm. Andy is a rare find. He is one of the few lawyers I have met who really fights hard for the clients while truly empathizing with their situation. He sees his clients as people rather than merely clients of the firm. I would have him represent me in the event I needed a lawyer. That really says it all."
