Great lawyer, highly recommended

I got caught trespassing with some special circumstances. Barry did a phenomenal job handling my case. He walked me through the case and what to expect (his local knowledge of the nuances of Hawaii law was very impressive) given that I was from out of state. He negotiated hard and got me a good deal ...while being very communicative throughout the entire process. This was essential given how far away I was. After resolving the case, he went above and beyond and helped me make payment on time when I had accidentally put it off until last minute and couldn't go to the court (out of state)

Excellent Lawyer, Definitely Recommend

I got arrested because I was driving recklessly. Police found drugs and paraphanilia in my car. I had 5 charges against me, two of which were felonies. I was facing 5 years in prison. Thanks to Barry making a plea deal, the only thing I was convinced of was a DUI, no time in jail. I would 100% recomm...end Barry to anyone dealing with legal issues. He's an excellent lawyer. He really knows what he's doing. And he's also a really good person.

Lawyer Reveiw

Barry is very knowledgable in what he does. For me he told me from the beginning on what to expect and what my options are. He advises the best options and was very confident in doing what he would say for me from the beginning. He is very passionate about his job and his clients. I was informed all ...the way through of what was to come and how to prepare. I recommend Barry Sooalo in any case!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
