Kainani Christine Collins Alvarez

Attorney reviews I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Kainani C. Alvarez and Diamond Grace from (Perrault / Alvarez: https://www.familylawhawaii.com ) in a TRO matter. From the outset, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of Hawaii law. Their a...pproach was both personalized and strategic, making me feel well-informed and confident throughout the process. One of the aspects I appreciated most was their expedited process to represent me in court the day after I retain them. Kainani level of engagement was incredibly reassuring and put me at ease. Moreover, their advocacy skills are commendable. They were thorough in their preparation and eloquent in presentation, which I believe played a crucial role in the positive outcome of my case. I am thoroughly impressed by Kainani and Diamond dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation. Their expertise, coupled with a genuine concern for their clients, makes them an outstanding attorney.

I hired another attorney and had been unsuccessfully dealing with a high conflict, contested paternity case from October 2021 to April 2022. The lawyer I had was not getting anywhere with my case and I felt unsupported and I was terrified that I was going to have unfavorable results and decided I nee...ded to hire Kainani. She came highly recommended for the type of case I was dealing with. It took her less than two months to completely turn my high conflict case around. She not only got me exactly what I asked for, but beyond what I ever imagined was possible. I got sole legal and physical custody of my child and was able to relocate with my child without accruing the extra costs of going back to court. She made suggestions that saved me money from my retainer, she communicated very effectively and I felt supported and heard throughout my entire experience with her and her team. I hope I never have to utilize the court system again but if I do, I know exactly who I will hire to represent me. She was ready to go all the way if necessary to get me the results that were in the best interest of my child.

Kainani was the second attorney I hired for my highly contentious paternity/ custody case and she was the best decision I made - a complete game changer. I went from 4 years of supervised visitation for only 1.5 hours/ week and monthly child support, to 50/50 shared custody (physical & legal) and zer...o child support in the 1.5 years she worked on my case. Kainani is smart, strategic, and transparent in her approach. She has an excellent balance of zealous client advocacy and client control - fighting hard for you and your parental rights, but also keeping you realistic about your expectations given the way the family court system operates. Kainani helped me navigate a high conflict court case masterfully while being compassionate towards my experience and mindful of the costs, successfully using the court to require my ex to honor my parental rights. While I do not wish a high conflict custody case on anyone, if you find yourself in that situation, Kainani is exactly the type of attorney you want on your side.

Kainani is a fearless advocate for her clients. I was in the middle of a long, emotionally draining family court case when a friend suggested I meet with Kainani. I was hesitant to switch attorneys, but I am so glad I did! She quickly became acclimated with my situation; she scheduled a court date... and she wrapped it up with a positive outcome. I am so thankful for her professionalism and support. If you want a tenacious attorney that will stand up for you, I highly recommend Kainani Alvarez.

I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT KAINANI! Divorce, Custody, Child Support, Alimony…. It was all a big mess and my ex-wife fought me hard on all of it, trying to take it all away from me. She fought hard for me to have nothing. Kainani fought back for what was fair!! She won me joint custody, alimony..., 50% of my ex-wife’s retirement and child support. AMAZING!! She knows her stuff when it comes to family law and has an amazing team behind her. She is resourceful, quick and does not hold back. An honest attorney will save you in the long the haul and Kainani is exactly that! She is real about the case as it may change each time you head to court. She is always prepared for the most aggressive opposing parties and the most complicated cases and always ready to battle it out if needed. She goes the extra mile for her clients and has unwavering confidence in the court rooms. Thank you Kainani!!!!!
