Appreciative Mother

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. Dealing with a High conflict divorce is always stressful but her honsety and willingness to take on my case was refreshing. Domin...ique took over where my previously lawyer left off . She ensured I understood what was happening step by step. And gave me the ability to focus on my son. When it came time for court she was prepared and I could not have asked for a better outcome. While we are still fighting this battle I have every confidence that she is working toward the best interest of my family. While going through a divorce with children involved is very difficult it can become unbearable without sound representation. I definitely recommend Mrs. Tansley and for her future clients I would say trust the process.

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...ntire process and answers all questions that I have. Thank you for everything and more to come!

Divorce and Separation legal aid

Dominique has been a very great source of support during this very difficult time. I have so many issues with my husband (hopefully ex very soon) from personal to financial and she has been very supportive and helpful. I work late at times and her willingness to take my calls in the evening has been... very reassuring. I even vent to her at times regarding my frustrations and even if she is unable to really do anything about the situation, she always listened and provided advise when she could. I am glad to have her on my side, and just awaiting the day when I invite her to my divorce party.

Very satified

Dominique is an excellent lawyer. She helped me thru a difficult divorce and I felt from the beginning that I was in good hands. I felt very comfortable with her throughout the process. She explained how things would proceed. She told me what she would do... and then followed thru. She was ver...y detail oriented I highly recommend hiring her.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
