Restoring Faith in the Justice System

Joanne Hicks represents the attributes "We The People" are supposed to be able to rely on from officers of the court within our justice system. Honor. Integrity. Truth. Valor. Justice. In our first conversation, she listened intently to what was important to me and why, verified the facts & th...en went to work. Joanne accomplished in one week, and without even having to make a court appearance, what 6 other public defenders and court appointed attorneys refused to do in order to uphold my rights and to represent my best interests. For a period of almost 3 years, my previous attorneys bent over backwards trying to run cover for the malfeasance of law enforcement and rogue officers of the court who were maliciously & vindictivly prosecuting me. Not Joanne. She made it very clear to the prosecuter that she would put him on the witness stand to expose the truth about my case of necessary. As a result, that prosecuter filed a motion to dismiss my charges with prejudice the very next morning. Joanne's actions didn't just show respect for me and my well being, but also respect for the taxpayers, who end up footing the bill for rogue officers of the court who trump up falsified charges against innocent people and unnecessarily drag those cases on by manipulating & suppressing the actual facts and evidence of the case. Also known as obstruction of justice. Every officer of the court, and government official for that matter, takes an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution as Supreme Law. Joanne Hicks did just that...She made sure that the Rule of Law was being accurately applied to uphold my rights & to ensure that I received effective legal counsel. Bravo to this intelligent, kind & valiant Patriot and Ambassador of the Aloha Spirit. She embodies the tenets our Founding Fathers envisioned for there to be liberty & justice for all. By enlisting her as your attorney, your legal needs will be well cared for & you will be contributing to a better & safer community. Bless you in your legal practice Joanne Hicks Respectfully ~ Hadassah Aun Vas

Hicks Law LLC Experience

I was very lucky to be advised by Joanne on a legal matter, and I can’t say enough good things about her approach to her cases and her clients. Her dedication to seeking justice while also understanding the human side of the cases she handles is truly commendable. Joanne exhibits a rare ability to... listen and connect with all parties involved, showing genuine compassion for her clients and their families. Her empathy made the legal process more understandable, and it’s clear that she is motivated by a sincere desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Joanne’s unwavering commitment to fairness and her ability to balance it with compassion is remarkable, it’s reassuring to know that individuals like her are there to make navigating our legal system less daunting. I have the utmost respect for her work and her dedication to making a difference in the lives of those she represents. Mahalo for everything you do Joanne!!
