Daryl Shinji Takeno

Came to Daryl looking for advice on my H1B visa and options going forward with transfer and renewal. He was incredibly knowledgeable, clear and compassionate and really helped with my situation, providing me with information about LCAs and competitive recruitment. Would not hesitate to consult or hir...e Daryl again, a great experience overall.

We were in the final stages of getting citizenship for our children via N-600. Perhaps we made a mistake on the forms, I don't know, but USCIS wanted more information from us. Rather than take any chances and responding directly we decided we needed a lawyer. We spoke to one who had great reviews, bu...t she was rather dismissive of our situation. We suspect she didn't have experience of this particular issue. Then we spoke to Daryl. He could not have been more different! He researched our problem, advised on documentation needed, wrote letters to USCIS, and made Freedom of Information inquiries. Six months later our children became American citizens. It was all relatively painless and inexpensive. And there were no unexpected bills either!

My immigration case was very complicated, the process took almost 1 year. Daryl Takeno took my case after two different attorneys recommended that I would wait one more year before attempting to apply for citizenship. Daryl took his time to understand my case and went above and beyond to help me. H...e was easy to reach every time I had a question or concern about my case and last month I finally got my citizenship. Daryl is an excellent attorney and I definably recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable and knowledgeable attorney. Thank you Daryl .

I have known Daryl Takeno since his days as a law student, when we both worked as editors for the law journal. Daryl has a wide array of legal work experience, having worked for one of the biggest law firms in the State of Hawaii as an associate attorney. The fact that Daryl has chosen to concentra...te in the area of immigration law suggests to me that Daryl has both a passion and expertise in this area. I recently worked with Daryl in helping a Japanese client purchase a business and obtain an investment visa. Daryl was precise, prompt, and highly effective in his work. I was also pleasantly surprised at how fluent Daryl is in written business level Japanese. I would definitely recommend Daryl to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. Last but not least, Daryl is a highly ethical attorney, who will always put the interest of his clients before his own.

Daryl was just more than I expected from a Lawyer. I started my petition as an alien in 2012 and had Daryl set up my papers and help on the interview. Daryl is just the kindest person, and was so patient with me during this process. After I got my 2 year green card I moved to Kauai and ended up thi...nking that it would be bad to have a lawyer far away to remove the holds of it, so I ended up hiring someone else. That was the worst thing I have done! Although my lwayer now lives close, he doesn't pay enough atention to my case, and on a lot of times I have still asked Daryl questions, who answers my emails with explanations very well organized about each step I can take, and have still helped me always when I needed. The next petition I am filling, I am definitly going back to Daryls care! =)
