Diane helped consult my family and I on how to get my mother, who is mentally ill, the proper treatment that she needs. Diane is an expert in the Assisted Community Treatment (Assisted Outpatient Treatment) laws here in Hawaii as she has completed petitions, worked with psychiatrists and gone to cou...rt hearings about these cases in the past. She is one of the only lawyers in Hawaii who is knowledgeable and experienced in this area and completely understands the purpose of the ACT program, who needs it and how it can help save lives. I recommend Diane to anyone looking into the Assisted Community Treatment program or anyone who is a caregiver of someone that is mentally ill and looking for ways to get their loved one help. Through Diane's wisdom, expertise, passion and empathy, she will be able to both represent you legally as well as support you personally. Thank goodness for lawyers like Diane who provide such valuable services for families like mine and for the community as a whole!

My case was a State retirement disability. My application was turned down and I hired another lawyer for an appeal. He took my money upfront, did nothing, then quit on me. Lady luck smiled on me when I found Diane Haar and her Hawaii Disability Legal Services team. She took my case and put togeth...er an amazing appeal which reversed the denial. The appeal brief she put together was above and beyond what I expected. It was amazing! I can't say enough great things about Diane Haar. Brilliant, nice, caring, efficient, thorough, knows the law and does her research! I have dealt with lawyers professionally & personally throughout my life and Diane is by far the best. I can't thank her enough! If she takes your case, you are in the best of hands!

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY! Before I sought out Diane, I was floundering on my own attempting to navigate the Social Security disability process and I was very frustrated and getting nowhere. From my first meeting with Diane, she was courteous, professional and treated me exceptionally well. She took on... my case and it moved along pretty quickly, with her providing timely updates throughout the process. I was so impressed by her services, I referred two friends to her who report that they are quite happy with her services too. Finally, she really showed sincere compassion and tenacity in representing me all the way through my hearing. I just received my fully favorable decision from Social Security and I will receive benefits soon. I cannot thank Diane enough. I will continue to refer friends to her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
