Extremely helpful and Professional

Mr. Crabtree successfully helped my husband and I settle a claim while my husband was deployed. Mr. Crabtree was very helpful, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond what we could have asked for, and it was refreshing to work with someone who supported our... troops.

Jeff Crabtree: A Dedicated Professional

After my husband was killed through the gross negligence of another driver, Jeff Crabtree's professionalism and guidance provided me with hope during the darkest days of my life. I was able to consult with him any time I had questions or concerns, and his council gave me the strength to face both t...he insurance company and the person who was convicted of negligent homicide. Jeff worked diligently to ensure I was at all times completed informed while he respected my right to make decisions about the process. I was very grateful that he answered all of my questions honestly, even when the answers were not what I had hoped to hear. I spoke with several lawyers before I hired Jeff Crabtree, and I chose him because I was impressed with his direct style of communication, strong work ethic, endless patience, keen attention to detail, and forthright manner. I give my highest recommendation for Jeff Crabtree to anyone who is searching for a strong legal ally.

Caring and Dependable

I hired Mr. Crabtree a few years back to represent me in a partnership dispute. Although I was in some distress at the time, Mr. Crabtree made me feel at ease and comfortable. I recommend him.

"As you look around, you see nothing but beauty; blue waves crashing on the shore, plumeria trees in bloom, orchids in every garden and breathtaking volcano islands rising out of the ocean. You are on the vacation of a lifetime in sunny Hawai’i. Nothing can ruin your vacation, except perhaps an injury. Worse yet, and injury caused by someone else. Who can you turn to for help? Jeff Crabtree of the Law Offices of Jeff Crabtree. Jeff is a fabulous attorney, as evidenced by his peer ratings. Jeff is also one of the nicest people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. He is truly interested in getting to know each person he talks to. Once you spend time with Jeff, you will feel like you just met your long lost best friend. His passion for connecting with and helping people is apparent in his law practice as it is in more casual settings. I hope I never need his services while I am vacationing in his fine state, but he would be the first person"

"Jeff Crabtree represents those who are injured, be it physically or financially, and he deliberately keeps a small caseload to ensure that he personally gives each and every one of his clients’ cases the attention they deserve. He works with personal injury cases for adults and children, and he assists those with consumer protection problems, such as those involving auto dealerships and insurance companies. Jeff Crabtree grew up in Hawaii, and has appeared in trial courts all over the islands during his 25 years as an attorney. Jeff Crabtree’s membership in Primerus is indicative of his high standards and strong work ethic, and the recognition of such by his peers throughout the country. If you or a loved one is in need of an attorney who will personally provide you with superior legal representation, you should look no further than Jeff Crabtree."

"Most of us can't imagine getting injured on the paradise of Hawaii.  If we're lucky to go to the Islands (or even call them home), they feel like a protective paradise.  But the stark reality is, accidents happen everywhere...  even in paradise.  And if they do, I strongly suggest you contact Jeff Crabtree.  Why?  Simply put, he's the best the Islands offer.  He cares immeasurably about his clients, whether they've been injured, spent their hard-earned money on a fraudulent product, or are seeking their day in court.  He grew up in Hawaii, so he understands her people, her customs, and, most importantly, her judicial system.  I know him personally, and his education was not all Hawaiian.  Jeff spent several years practicing criminal and civil litigation in New York City and Boston. He brings a big city toughness to the Aloha attitude, and I know he sits down and carefully guides clients through their journey.  If you need legal help in Hawaii, Jeff Crabtree should be your attorney."

"It is an honor to recommend Jeff Crabtree to anyone injured in Hawaii due to the wrongdoing of others. All one has to do is look at the accolades he has received from his peers who constantly rate him at the top of his field. Jeff is a member of Primerus, an international lawyers' organization that has the highest admission standards and a strict and difficult vetting process to insure that it's members provide the finest legal services. At a conference we had earlier this year, I confided with Jeff on a case my firm is working on. His ideas proved to be both insightful and incredibly helpful. If you are in Hawaii and are looking for an ethical and hardworking attorney then Jeff is your guy."

"I have known Jeff for several years and have regularly worked with him on cases and we have attended and presented seminars together. He is one of the brightest and most dedicated lawyers that I have ever met. Always eager to help people and a remarkable knowledge of the law. He has been recognized by Honolulu Magazine and US News & World Report as one of the best lawyers in Hawaii and I totally agree. If you have a Consumer Law question, a personal injury matter, a Lemon motor vehicle, a malpractice case, or just want to know about the law and your rights, Jeff is your man. I highly recommend him to you."
