About Alen
Biography
Alen M. Kaneshiro was born and raised on the windward side of Oahu. He is proud not only to be locally born, but also locally educated. Alen graduated from Kailua High School, the University of Hawaii Manoa and received his juris doctorate from the William S. Richardson School of Law. After graduating, he worked for the Honorable Virginia Lea Crandall before joining the State Office of the Public Defender.
Alen has effectively represented thousands of clients charged with criminal offenses in front of both judges and juries resulting in countless dismissals, acquittals and post-trial conviction reversals after appeal. While primarily focusing on taking cases to trial, he has also negotiated thousands of plea agreements to the benefit of his clients. Alen spends his weekends with family, friends, and at the beach fishing with his dog Lilikoi.

Great job!!!
I put my case in Alen’s trust and he came through. At times I was frustrated and impatient and he assured me he was on the right path. He was 100% correct. I highly recommend him.

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.

Professional and Reassuring
Legal proceedings are always such an emotional and scary process. Alen was able to allay all of my concerns related to my trial and even took the time to explain his strategy and ramifications, every step of the way.
