Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Hawaii... Hands down!

I was referred to him by a very reputable judge and Alen was very professional and informative. He will tell it like it is and will deliver. He walked me through the whole process and gave me options and his opinions on the outcome. He always responded very quickly with any questions I had when I te...xted him. He developed a sincerity in his actions and explanations and showed a true concern for my outcome and will give you the confidence that he will prevail. He was awesome in action in court and at the ADLRO hearing. Alen got my license back and also got my case dismissed and I will always be indebted to him and the judge who referred me to him. Thank you is just not enough.

Thank you so much!

After reading about the court process and talking to friends, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get through it alone, so I called Alen. He didn't cut any corners and I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend hiring Alen.

Totally recommend Alen!!!

Alen was the most professional yet humble attorney and therefore, thats what I based my decision to hire him on. Did not promise me anything from the get-go like other attorneys I consulted with. Yet, he represented me with utmost professionalism and hard work and in turn, my case was dismissed. I...'m not promising you that he will be able to do the same for you but I can say that he will represent you to the fullest and it's easy to see that he works hard for your case.

Honest, reliable, and all around great attorney!

Alen is a wonderful attorney. I was involved in a criminal matter and Alen supported and fought for me throughout my entire case. He was able to represent me from the mainland which was relief so I didn't have to return to the island for court. He is everything I could have hoped for and more. He is... trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, and kept a responsive open line of communication. He was not only easy to work worth but seemed to always think 3 steps ahead and have a plan of action. He kept me informed and comfortable through a bad situation. Ultimately Alen was able to get my case dismissed due to a procedural defect. His hard work and attention to detail paid off! I am more than satisfied with the decision I made to hire him. He was a perfect fit for me, my case, and my particular circumstance.
