Divorce Lawyer
I would like to thank Carol for handling my divorce proceeding. She is very professional and knowledgeable and is easy to talk to. She always answered my phone calls or returned them quickly whenever I had a question. I would highly recommend Carol, as I interviewed two other attorneys before deciding to go with Carol. She is very attentive and takes the time to listen to what you have to say. I appreciate all that she did for me.

Adoption Expertise
Carol was recommended to assist us with an adoption. We were anxious and nervous but she had a calm demeanor and helped us through the process quickly and smoothly. Her knowledge in Hawaii adoption laws gave us the confidence to move forward in our case and ultimately made our ohana complete.

Blessed
We were just recently blessed with winning our case. It was definitely a journey but we could not thank Carol enough for not only defending our case but for being very supportive, and personable, and for having the professional knowledge that she has shared with us. Carol has never felt made us feel like we were just one of her clients, instead she made us feel like we were her only clients. She spent a lot of time on our case whether it was in court, on the phone, in person, or even submitting all the required documentation needed to support our case. Carol has definitely been an angel to us during our case and we are beyond blessed to have had her as our lawyer. We would recommend Carol Tribbey to anyone and everyone that needs a custody lawyer. Thank you so much Carol for all that you have done to get our life back together and help make our family complete.

Family Law
A friend referred me to Carol Tribbey when I was searching for a family lawyer to get a divorce. I hired her as my attorney and she was very easy to work with. She is personable, professional and reliable. She patiently, and thoroughly, answered my questions and addressed my concerns when I consulted with her in person and over the phone. My emails were responded to in a timely manner and though I only needed to call her a few times, she was available each time I called her.

Family Court
We contacted Carol for our case and she met with us and from that day forward we hired her. She immediately drew up the legal documents and we received copies of the same documents that were filed in court. When called upon,Carol returned our calls and or emails. During our court proceedings she drafted all of the necessary documents that were required by the courts in advance to complete our case so that there was no lengthily waiting period and our case was expedited in a timely manner. Carol handled our case in a very professional manner and we thank her for her professionalism and I would recommend her to others.

Horrible
I hired Carol Tribbey for my divorce initially and then asked if she could represent me for my TRO case. This woman never answers her phone, calls you back, or even SHOWS UP FOR COURT! I presume that she's the worst attorney to date. I would ask her for documents and she would forget to write them or file them. She doesn't call to prep for cases. She never showed up for my TRO hearing. She acted like I was burdening her. She needs to be disbarred because of how terrible she is.

Response from Carol Tribbey November 16, 2017
I normally do not represent my divorce clients in their TRO cases, especially without adequate notice and time to prepare. I just saw this review from "anonymous" yesterday after AVVO brought it to my attention, and after reviewing my files, I think I know which case this is, and this person definitely did not retain me for a TRO case, and was extremely difficult to communicate with. My office policy is to return phone calls within 24 hours and to file documents the day they are signed by my clients. My clients are never a burden to me, and if this former client wishes to discuss this further, my contact information has not changed.
