About Kevin
Biography
If you are facing DUI charges in Honolulu, then your future is at stake. When your career and freedom are threatened, you can't afford to work with a lawyer who simply pleads out instead of thinking about your own well-being and best interests. You deserve to have a defense attorney who will fight all the way for you.
My name is Kevin O'Grady, and I am dedicated to providing the ethical, powerhouse advocacy you deserve.
You need a legal advocate who understands the complexities of the justice system, but who also is motivated by a genuine empathy for their clients. While I focus on crafting the strongest defense possible, I also make it a priority to get know each of my clients.
You will never feel like just another case number at my Honolulu DUI firm. I consider it my privilege and duty to see that your rights are fully protected. As a result of my dedication and aggressive advocacy, I have obtained hundreds of case dismissals for my clients, with a 97.5% win rate*.
I am also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. I handle civil rights cases, specifically suing the government to protect your Second Amendment rights. I am also the U.S. Law Shield attorney for Hawaii. If you have U.S. Law Shield as your carrier to protect you and a covered event occurs, U.S. Law Shield will pay my fees to protect you. I also provide Second Amendment consulting- See Molan Labe .
I am ready to sit down with you to thoroughly discuss your case and legal options. Schedule your free case evaluation with a Honolulu DUI lawyer now! Let's fight together.

Highly Recommend!
My experience with Mr. O'Grady and his team was above and beyond. Communication was on point and everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. His success rate definitely reflects his knowledge and confidence. I could not imagine having gone through the case without him by my side.
