also known as Ohana Legal
I was born in Honolulu and then moved back to Hawaii after college and attended law school here. I left my position at a large, corporate law firm because I wanted to practice law on a more personal level and use my skills to help people resolve their legal problems.
When you hire me, you will be hiring a lawyer who is accessible, responsive, and dedicated to providing excellent client service. I will take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. I will explain the legal process and issues to you in plain English and provide a straightforward and honest assessment of your case.
When am not in the office, I am usually spending time with my husband and my two boys. We love to hike the mountain trails around the island, especially any hike that ends at a place to swim! We enjoy cooking dinner and watching movies together. I like to relax by working in my vegetable garden or reading a good novel.

Really helped to calm me down in my situation and to keep things fair throughout my divorce process. I will definitely continue to use Domonique Tansley throughout my child's upbringing as needed.

Dominique
She was very thorough during the free consult and seemed to really care about our situation. We went to court for a TRO that was placed and she helped us out with that. She is currently helping us on a custody issue, and so far has been great! Sometimes we don't get a reply right away, which is unde...

Dominique Tansley has been a blessing to my somewhat complicated case. Even before she was hired on she gave me sound advise in my attempt to move my custody case forward.

Couldn't have picked someone better!!
Ms. Tansley has been absolutely wonderful through my custody battle. She keeps it real when I get a little bit hot headed or if I have expectations that are unrealistic. I have had her as my lawyer since June 2016 and I do not regret my decision for one second. She has been incredibly flexible this e...

Dominique exceeded all my expectations!
Dominique is attentive and enthusiastic. She's very straightforward and honest. She always provides us prompt and reliable legal advice/counsel. Dominique helped my family through an extremely difficult and lengthy custody battle. She helped me get joint physical custody of my daughters. She broke th...
"Ms. Tansley has a sharp legal mind, insightful as to procedure and points of law, and is tenacious in her efforts. We frequently discuss recent appellate opinions, and Ms. Tansley keeps on top of developing Hawaii family court policy. Ms. Tansley is a very capable litigator, but she also seems to value the benefits of negotiated settlements-- both to the good of her clients, I believe."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is extremely diligent and has a "can do" attitude. She is a good attorney and even better person."
