Extremely Professional and Result Oriented

First, I would like to say I am an actual client of Jared Washkowitz. Unlike the opposition that left a negative comment on his page. But it says a lot about an attorney when the opposition leaves a negative comment. It says that he is the attorney you want to represent you. Hiring Jared was one of t...he best decisions I’ve made, to represent me with one of the worse decisions I’ve ever made. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. This simple divorce case was drawn out unnecessarily by the oppositions for almost two years. Her motivation was to “try” to take everything I earned because I no longer was willing to be used and wanted out of the toxic, dysfunctional marriage. Fortunately, Jared was with me every step of the way. He was with me through all the useless (mandatory) mediation sessions, crazy rants, harassing emails and text, false accusations, fabrications, defamation and straight lies from the opposition. He reassured me that everything was going to be ok and to trust the legal process. That was sound advice because at the end of it all, the Judge ruled in our favor. I served honorably for over 25 years, so trust when I say he’s military friendly. So, if you’re looking for a lawyer who’s competent, trustworthy, honest, reliable, responsive, and hardworking; Jared Washkowitz is the attorney you want.

Absolutely amazing family law attorney in Oahu, the best!

After going through three previous law firms in Oahu, Jared was all I needed in my years long divorce/ custody battle. Jared was honest, up front, accommodating, and settled my case when I had given up hope in Oahu with representation. You will not be disappointed, Jared is rare and executes!

Excellent- quick and easy!

I was going through an extremely challenging situation in my marriage, and did not know what to do or where to start. I had heard horror stories of lawyers costing a fortune and taking forever to get things done, but Jared was the opposite of that. He exceeded my every expectation; extremely knowled...geable and is committed to getting things done right away. He explained everything to me step by step, and kept me updated throughout. Any concerns were dealt with promptly and professionally. Jared put my mind at ease, checking in on me from time to time, making sure I had no unanswered questions or concerns. The process was quick and affordable, and I recommend Jared.
