Alethea Kyoko Rebman

Alethea is much more than a lawyer to me. She became like a family to me, and her law firm feels like an extended family. Seven years ago, a friend of mine recommended Alethea as a great divorce lawyer. She met with me, and she agreed to take over my case from another lawyer who was OK, but I needed ...someone who can understand me better. I needed a woman to represent me and fight for my children and me. Every divorce is painful, especially when the children are involved, and when one of the sides starts hurting the children to destroy the other side. That was extremely difficult for me. Alethea was there for me every step of the way. She would respond to my calls at any time of the day or night, and we went through some challenging situations that involved life and death situations, TRO, and many more. Throughout all that time, I knew I could count on Alethea and her team. Her partner Dyan was there as well. She would step in when needed, with all her expertise. Her paralegals are kind and willing to help all the time. They became so familiar with my case, and they were living through each heartbreaking motion and unfortunate event with me. I am an immigrant and alone on the island without family and support. Alethea was, and still is, my family and my biggest support. Honestly, if it was not for here, I am not sure I would be here today. The words cannot describe how thankful I feel for having her in my kid’s and my lives. I was scared, insecure, emotional wreck, and did not know what to do next. Alethea and her team helped me regain self-confidence, strength, and support I needed when I did not have where to turn to. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a divorce lawyer to chose Alethea and her firm. You will be thankful forever. She is brilliant, sharp, knowledgable, organized, understandable, loyal, supportive, a BIG heart, kind, and she will fight for you like she is fighting for herself. She knows when to act and what to do. I was dealing with an extremely difficult ex-spouse, but Alethea helped me to get the 100% physical and legal custody for my children. If it were not for her, the monster of the family court system would eat me alive. Last but not least, whoever reads this, it means you need help. Go ahead and chose Alethea and her team. Choose Alethea because she will HEAR you, she will be there for you, and she will be your (and your children’s) rock and protector to receive the justice you deserve. Thank you, Alethea, and the team. Borjana.

If you are going through a divorce with custody issues, you need a great attorney who knows the law, how to litigate in court, and cares about you. This is especially true if you are dealing with an uncooperative spouse. Alethea knows how to fight and win in court, and she also looks for ways to st...ay out of court. Alethea is incredibly intelligent, perceptive, and ethical. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Family court is extremely personal as well as emotionally draining, I really cannot express how thankful I am to have had Alethea and her staff represent and work with me. In the middle of a move out of state, my ex filed for divorce with full custody. I did not see it coming. Worse, she did everything she could to keep the children from me. My first lawyer had no idea what to do, and I lost valuable time. Alethea stepped up immediately and submitted a very scholarly motion into the court that restored my phone and physical visits. I rearranged my life and returned to Hawaii, only to find out my ex’s real plan was to move to another state. Alethea masterfully litigated in court to protect my visitation rights, resulting in an award of joint custody with the children spending half the time with me. Alethea’s litigation experience in the prosecutor’s office was invaluable. After years of being bitter and vindictive towards me, my ex ultimately decided to leave Hawaii and planned to take the children with her. Thanks to Alethea’s expertise in family law the children are now with me full time. Alethea still checks in with me from time to time just to see how the family is doing. Thanks to Alethea, I can always respond that the family is doing great. Without all the drama, my daughters are now excelling in school and have many friends, which was not the case before.

For the most part I don't believe most of the population walks around from day  to day anticipating ever having to navigate the legal system. Even to the most educated, it can be a nightmare, full of legal jargon, statutes and rules. This is the situation my family was faced with during a two year di...vorce/ child custody battle. After reviewing her impressive educational background including years at Cornell University, her years of experience in the Hawaii court system, and her general advocating and service to the surrounding community we decided choose Alethea Rebman for our family court needs. This is the best decision we could of made. She acted as a die hard advocate for us from day one and handled our case with understanding and expertise. Nothing about our case was simple or cut and dry. Yet we couldn't be happier with the end results. Ms Rebman continues to follow up and guide us as needed. She and her colleagues receive 5/5 stars in my book and come highly recommended. There is no doubt that should the need arise we will turn to her services again.
