Lawyer for Condminium Property Regime

Nancy was hired to get our family through a family issue with a property which had two houses on one lot. She was quite thorough in what was needed and what we had to do to separate the property in half. Unfortunately, we had issue with things beyond her control, which dragged the process on and on. ...Nancy was very easy to work with and returned calls promptly. We hope to never have to deal with property in the future but we would hire her again if the need arises.

My go to for deeds!

Nancy is my go to attorney when I need a deed! She knows real estate law and the bureau of conveyances like the back of her hand. I love that she is computer proficient and able to work remotely. She is super responsive and fair.

Need help with real estate issue? Ask Nancy.

Nancy helped us navigate through two different transactions - purchasing a property with a trust as owner as well as making sure a contract with our contractor was the way it should be. She knows what she's doing, easy to communicate with and very accessible, and extremely fair in her charges. You ...can't go wrong. We'd recommend her to anybody.

Business Attorney Who Actually Knows Business

Nancy is the rare attorney who really understands business. Her specialities include real estate transactions, condominium law, commercial leasing, and high tech deals. She works quickly and efficiently in order to get work done and achieve deal timeline dates. She is very well known in Honolulu, no...t only as a member of the bar but also as an active Rotarian helping the community.

Real Estate Exchange

We had a very complicated exchange whereby we exchanged a single asset for 72 like kind real property assets. Not only was this a little more complicated, it was one of the most time consuming 1031 Exchanges I have ever encountered. Thanks to Nancy we we were able to work through all our exchange...s with our escrow company and completed our exchange sale with a mainland REIT buyer that insisted on language that was not necessary. Nancy was able to get the attorney to understand leasehold properties in Hawaii and help us close the deal timely. I really liked the ability to contact her directly and get immediate feedback whenever needed on whatever legal issue arose.
