Client

Not being a resident of Hawaii and needing legal counsel it was Barry Sooalo that we decided to hire. Mr. Sooalo and his firm were knowledgeable, professional and at the same time showed compassion. Mr. Sooalo and his team responded promptly to all correspondence whether it was via text, email or pho...ne anytime of day. His years of experience as a criminal defense attorney did not go unnoticed. He defended and fought effectively throughout court hearings. No one foresees needing a criminal defense attorney but if you find yourself in a situation like ours we would highly recommend Barry Sooalo from start to finish. The outcome was in our favor and highly satisfied. After legal proceedings were completed, Mr. Sooalo took the time to check in and make sure our family was okay. He went above and beyond for our family, and for that we are eternally grateful!

Best attorney in Hawaii

Hired Barry as my attorney and I am more than satisfied with his work. He is very professional and has great knowledge of the Hawaii laws. Got to see him in action during my trial which I was acquitted ! I highly recommend him

Case closed

I got a DUI last year and found that Barry sooalo was the attorney i wanted to represent me because his experience with dealing with similar cases like mine and the reviews that I ve looked at I didn't hesitate to call and hire him. One year later my case was dismissed and now I'm able to work again ...being that I am a commercial driver I'm thankful for Barry's help and I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I'd highly recommend him to represent anyone who has a DUI.

Criminal Defense Attorney

Barry took me on as a Court appointed attorney for some traffic issues I had. It turned into several felonies. Barry saved my ass. I was looking at 10yrs and Barry got me Hope probation and time served plus a little more. Now I'm looking at a big case and he's kicking ass. Someone you want on your si...de.

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.
