About Dominique
Biography
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.

Child Custody
I am extremely happy I hired Ms. Dominique Tansley. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the federal law and the legal process in Hawaii, and was able to answer every question I had about my case.

Exemplary Representation
Ms. Tansley handled my cases professionally and properly. She is highly knowledgeable about the law and has a great amount of experience in how the legal processes work in Hawaii. I could not have asked for better legal representation in handling my divorce or other two cases.
Dominique Malia Tansley's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
