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.

Honest - Direct - Doesn’t waste time
I was going through a horrible divorce and custody issues. I had contacted and consulted with about 10 to 15 lawyers/lawfirms befire finding Dominique. I was about to give up and then meeting with her gave me hope. The others were wasting my time and money, playing games and not listening to my needs...

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...

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...

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...
"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."
