3 times hired 3 times we won!

I hired Carol Tribbey 3 times over the past 4years...First time was for family court to get life time child support for my special needs son which she worked hard on paperwork, evidence and finding father to serve (since he was hiding service) we got everything we asked for...Second times was to rep...resent me in a child support hiring my ex falsely requested knowing that family court order states mediation first (which Carol smartly asked family court judge to place in orders prior to this happening)...Carol got it thrown out without even having the hiring, ex and ex's lawyer was not happy...I was...lol...Last was this past July for guardianship of my special needs son since he just turned 18years old...Carol had to get a process server for a out of state service to my son's dad and she made every effort to find a Processor in the state and made all efforts needed to try and contact him, which made it easy for me to get the full guardianship because true effort was made to contact him...Carol always got back to me in a timely manner, spent time explaining the process, offering me suggestions and advice, helped me to find evidence to support my case and always caring about the outcome...She treats you like family with genuine care!

TRO CASE

I hired Attorney Carol Tribbey for my TRO case, I was worried but Atty. Tribbey got sorted out after just a couple of meetings. My TRO case was dismissed and i got my kids back.

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.

My life has gone from chaos to once again living the dream thanks to Carol.
