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.

I highly recommend Dominique!
Dominique was so helpful for me during a very long and emotionally difficult legal battle with my ex. I initially retained her in 2014 for a TRO case against my ex, which then led to over a year long legal battle regarding property we co-owned. Dominique was very knowledgable, caring, and understan...

Horrible!! Avoid!!
I hired Dominique 3 years ago for an uncontested divorce case and just needed follow up to see how we could complete it since my ex didn’t seem to know what to do. She told me it should be done in 3 months and within my retainer fee. After I paid her I didn’t hear from her for 8, yes, 8 months. Durin...

Highly recommend
Dominique is a really great lawyer. I am going through a really ugly stressful divorce. She has been very compassionate and honest. She takes the time to talk to me and explain everything thoroughly. I fell really blessed that I have her as my attorney.

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...

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...
"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."
