Alen MatsuoKaione Kaneshiro

Hands down the best decision! Once finding out I was under investigation for a misdemeanor (yet very serious) allegation, I consulted with nearly a dozen attorneys. Alen was by far the most responsive, professional, helpful, and practical of all I spoke to, so I hired him. While some lawyers wante...d to "wait it out" and see what the State was going to do, Alen engaged immediately and in the end, the prosecutor did not file charges in my case. His ability to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and provide candid support about the case was reassuring during an extremely scary/confusing time. His patient-level headed approach to analyzing the details and compassion for his clients is crystal clear. If you want a responsive and knowledgeable professional who is no doubt "on your team", he's the lawyer you want.

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.

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. His style made me feel like a collaborator rather than a bystander (which I have had... the experience of dealing with as well) and Alen was always available for consultation. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family as a direct result of his knowledge and experience.
