Kainani Christine Collins Alvarez

When I got served my divorce notice in September of 2023, I had to kick it in high gear in hope of making it official by year’s end (for tax purposes and to move forward without delays). I was referred by a family friend to seek legal advice from Kainani. At our first meeting she was very welcoming..., cordial and receptive to my feelings cluelessness and concerns about the whole process. I had a copy of my ex’s terms in the decree and wanted to have an experienced set of eyes to review it. She identified areas to revise in favor of myself and children. The professionalism and effective communication from Kainani and her team put me at ease so that I could focus on the wellbeing of my children while preparing for our future. I appreciated her patience in explaining things and expertise with drafting terms on my behalf. She and her team were responsive to my emails and queries. We all know divorce to be a dark, ugly and extremely stressful time, including the challenges afterwards. In my case, Kainani and her courteous, focused and “client first” approach alleviated a lot of anxiety and provided an invaluable learning experience. Mahalo for your time, patience and resources which accomplished the goal of making the divorce official prior to year’s end.

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 know Kainani professionally and I contacted Perrault and Alvarez over a holiday weekend to ask them to take an emergency case for my friend whose ex made false allegations of abuse and contacted CPS as well as filing a family court TRO. Despite only having one day to prepare, Kainani slaughtered t...he false accuser in court, resolved the CPS matter, and my friend got his kids back to him the same day so he could take them back home to the mainland. I would recommend Kainani to anyone needing a tough, whip-smart, and ethical lawyer who will fight for you and your loved ones.

Ms. Alvarez was my second attorney in my post divorce and custody case. I hired her well into a year after my extremely complex case had already began. When I met Ms. Alvarez I was defeated, broken, scared and uncertain of my children’s and my fate in my case. Ms. Alvarez from the moment I met her wa...s confident, professional and knowledgeable. As time went on my case went to trial. I contacted Perrault & Alvarez many times leading up to my trial and each and every time my issues and concerns were handled in a prompt and professional manner. A trial is an extremely stressful and scary time when you are leaving your life in the hands of the legal system. However, when Ms. Alvarez walks into a room everyone stops and takes notice. Her booming voice can be heard from floors away that commands a presence by all. In the courtroom she is professional, aggressive and will fight not only for you but alongside you. Ms. Alvarez is well liked and respected by her colleagues and someone you want in your corner in your darkest hour. I am no longer the woman I was when I met her as working with her in my case challenged me to be confident, brave, and seek my self worth to fight for the truth to be heard. She won my case and changed the lives of my children and I. There are not words to express how thankful I am to her and her staff who worked tirelessly in my case. I have the absolute utmost respect for Ms. Alvarez and the entire staff at Perrault & Alvarez.

I hired Kainani after a referral from an attorney in another area. She was very professional and responded promptly. She worked hard on my case, was very thorough with every single detail, and made sure I understood everything that was going on. She always made time when it came to corresponding and ...was honest and forthcoming with all of the information pertaining to my case. I could tell from the start that she was very knowledgeable in what I was going through and I strusted she had my best interest in mind. I'd definitely recommend her.
