Excellence in communication, efficiency and cohesive collaboration. The efficiency that Barry’s team brought allowed my case to be dropped before it even began. Barry’s team cohesively communicated and collaborated with all parties so to navigate the legal conflict with minimal stress for everyone in...volved - but particularly alleviating for me. Barry is truly an excellent communicator and informed me of all legal rules, consequences, etc so I could feel fully prepared and protected regardless of how given circumstances transpired. His team handled everything start to finish and laid it out properly for myself and the prosecutor. On a personal level, Barry was caring and respectful just as on a professional level, he exceeded expectations and beyond.

I contacted Barry over what I considered a wrongful arrest. I am active military and could have faced real issues if the arrest stuck and my clearance was pulled. After a 10 minute conversation with Barry I immediately felt confident that my case would be dropped. He was able to have all charges drop...ped prior to my court date. I’m thankful that I came across this outstanding vet and lawyer.

Barry dealt with my case in an extremely professional manner. He is polite but more importantly very personable. I was comfortable when talking to him about my situation because I knew he was listening, and actually hearing me. He treated me like his equal. He explained each step of the process and t...ook each step with me. And bottom line..he believed me. I highly recommend him to any one who wants a lawyer that actually listens to you and believes what you are saying. The truth and Barry's expertise has cleared my name!

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!
