Dominique Malia Tansley

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. She used reason and evidence to help me win my custody case. She is extremely quick and efficient, and mor...e than fair with her fees. Ms. Tansley is an extraordinary lawyer, and anyone would be so lucky to have her represent them in court.

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...ding. She always had my best interest in mind and consistently communicated with me throughout the entirety of my case. When needed, Dominique thoroughly explained things to me regarding my case and advised me on my options without ever making me feel as if I "had to settle" for unfavorable terms proposed by my ex. She always suggested settlement options that were in my best interest and favorable for my case. My case finally wrapped up toward the end of 2015 and looking back, I can truly say I couldn't have done it without Dominique. She played such a significant role throughout my entire legal battle and she really helped me feel supported throughout the entire process. In the end, Dominique helped me see that settling my case was not a "loss" but however, a "win" toward closure and freedom to move forward in life without continued emotional and financial stress related to my case. I highly recommend Dominique for any divorce/separation/family court related case!

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...g that time I had emailed her repeatedly, with no response. I finally got in touch with her and went through a big process of filing a motion which was dismissed. I sent her a packet to turn into the court and asked her if anything was missing but she didn’t state that anything was missing and that it should be fine so she just turned it in and said I should hear within 8 weeks. Well we are a whole month past that 8 weeks now, and I have heard nothing from her after multiple requests for a follow up. She is asking for more money outside of my retainer fee as well. 3 years for an uncontested divorce is incredibly horrible service. It is very straight forward as my ex and I are NOT arguing about ANYTHING. Do yourself a HUGE HUGE favor and DO NOT hire this woman. I cannot afford to hire anyone else and she is not doing anything to help me finalize a divorce that was filed nearly 5 years ago now. S
