I am looking for a specific service and although it is not his area of practice, he gave me two names to check and did it very quickly (and over a holiday!).
I am a recovering lawyer. Darl Gleed and his associates combine competence, judgement and reasonable rates rarely found in lawyers. I have used his services for estate planning and non-profit corporate matters and have always been pleased with the results. The local newspaper has listed his lawfirm as one of the best in Kona.
Sophisticated trust and estate work, including marital/exemption trust planning, life insurance trusts, preparation of estate and gift tax returns. Also basic planning with revocable living trusts, wills, advance directives.
Real estate transactions, closings, investment, research, and deed preparation.
34 years, 4,000 cases
Given the demographics in the Kona-Kohala-West Hawaii regions, my office is called upon regularly to handle complex and sophisticated estate planning, real estate, trust and estate, and business transactions. Michelle in my office rivals any paralegal statewide, particularly in understanding Hawaii's complicated real estate deeds, and recording systems. I have the pleasure of dealing with high net worth clients, and execs and CEO's who split their time between Hawaii and the mainland. We are known for our ability to act swiftly in transactions, corporation or LLC formation, probates and real estate matters. In between all of the legal work, we find the golf course, stand-up paddleboarding, photography and running among some of the most beautiful island landscapes in the world.
