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...rough all the barriers that were thrown our way. I am without words for everything that she's has done for us. I would and will recommend Dominique to family and friends who need a smart, caring and tenacious person to fight for them.

Great Attorney

Dominique Tansley goes above and beyond what any other attorney had done for me. I really think that the empathy she had for me and my situation helped get a fair deal in my custody case. She is patient, listens well and most importantly, she is real. I immediately felt comfortable with her. Ms. ...Tansley had been my third attorney involved with my custody case. She was able to get me what I wanted which was to spend more time with my children. Words cannot express how truly appreciative I am for all that she has done

Truly Committed to You AND Your Family!

Dominique has been doing an amazing job with the family law matter I have been going through! She overcame every hurdle thrown at us; and she always handles herself professionally, no matter what. Dominique is honest, loyal, and truly commits herself to you AND your family. She goes above-and-beyond ...to ensure you get the best possible outcome. Dominique will fight for you and what is right! I highly recommend Dominique, and I will be forever grateful for everything she has done for me and my family!

Justin Sturdivant

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."
