Happy Outcome

I recently hired Daniel Chen to resolve a legal issue our company had with a local company located in Hawaii. He moved quickly and efficiently to bring about a happy ending as we had hoped at the lowest cost to us. I recommend this attorney for any legal issues.

Awesome Lawyer

I have received legal advice from Mr. Chen on several occasions regarding a wide variety of legal matters ranging from reviewing contracts, dealing with harassment at work, and a trust dispute. He has always been very reliable and has provided me with clear and straightforward legal assistance that ...allowed me to make the right decision. I would recommend hiring him.

"I have known Dan Chen since law school. He was a determined, methodical, detail oriented, and brilliant student. After we passed the bar, we worked for several years at different civil litigation firms in neighboring buildings in Bishop Square. When we met for lunch or pau hana I would pick his brain for ways to improve my practice. I eventually left civil law and went to work for the public defenders office, so I never had to face him in court as an adversary. I'm glad, because he practices law just like he studied: with patience, brilliance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. For the past decade, I have referred friends and family who contacted me with legal questions to a very short list of civil attorneys. Dan is almost always at the top of that list. When and if I ever have a business dispute, or get involved in a situation involving estate litigation or insurance defense, my first call will be to Dan Chen. Highest recommendation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
