Pending Workers Compensation

"We thought for a long time if we will consult a lawyer" . and Attorney Alita de Asis proved to us that we need it . My husband was injured at work and hoping that it will get better after a while but the pain did not go away . The Insurance for workers Compensation for my husband working place be...en giving us no assurance to approve his case, its been pending for several months. We are so fortunate that Attorney De Asis was the first lawyer that I called and she was the one who answered the phone . That moment I feel her concern and care while patiently listening to me on the phone. We are so blessed to know a lawyer like her who showed Concern and Care to us from day one . She is reallly dedicated to her job and have a good heart . I highly recommend her I highly recommend Attorney Alita de Asis . If not her help we don't know what will happened to my husband case . We would like to THANK YOU from the bottom of our heart Alita . God Bless you

Happy couple, great service!

We are glad that we met and decided to work with Alita and her assistant Gary. They both were very professional and very knowledgeable about the ins and outs about filing bankruptcy. if we had any questions and or concerns they are quick to call back and give you a answer. we didn't have to call back... again and again. We worked with Gary most of the time. We instantly felt comfortable with him. Truly felt like we were important, and their number one client! price was reasonable. the outcome was GREAT and fast. we filed within a month and by the third month we were pretty much done. Thank you so much Alita and Gary!

Quitter

I hired Alita 3 yrs ago I live on Kauai and she's from Oahu. She came here once and I've been emailing and telephone off and on 3 yrs. Ive been in VR for awhile and she tried telling me thats the reason my settlement offer was low. Blaming me for trying to get back to work. She takes 6-7 even up to t...en days to respond to emails i sent her. which is totally unacceptable being that is our only form of communication. She says something in an email then tells me something opposite on the phone. When i called her out on it she acted like a little child and hung up on me . I thought she was for the worker but now i feel she works for the insurance companies. She didn't even wanna try to get me a fair settlement when i told her what i and many other lawyers thought my injury was worth. What a complete waste of 3 yrs..i will be contacting the bar association about how i was treated. She talks over you and interrupts you when your trying to explain things. Definitely do not hire this so called workers comp lawyer ....i certainly wish i hadn't

We regret that we found it difficult to continue with representation as we have standards to uphold. We respectfully invite this reviewer to discuss any grievance directly with us. We would prefer not to dignify this reviewer's negative comments as such comments are obviously false given all of the positive reviews on this review site, other than to to share this reviewer's own positive comments on February 25, 2015 as follows: 'Overall rating: Good. I recommend Alita de Asis. Alita is a very hard working and very passionate lawyer who cares about injured workers and their rights. I couldn't find a lawyer on my island of kauai so i called a couple from Oahu and she was the only one who would take my case. She flew over here for the hearings and talks to me through the phone and emails. We won the hearing that the insurance denied fault. Im very happy with everything she has done for me so far and am looking forward to her handling the rest of my case. I would recommend Alita to anyone in hawaii that has been injured at work. She fights hard for employees. Also she has done all this without any form of payment yet which is the best. Not many people will do that. Im glad she agreed to take my claim. If you need a great workers comp lawyer she's the one...definitely would use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.'

"I have been practicing law in the state of California for the last 13 years. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing attorney Alita Ong De Asis for just as long. During that period of time, I have come to know Ms. De Asis as a hard-working, dedicated and compassionate litigant. She always has her clients’ best interest in mind and provides them with zealous representation. If one of my own relatives had an issue with a workers’ compensation, family law or bankruptcy matter, I would not hesitate to refer them to Ms. De Asis. I recommend her without reservation."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
