Would use again

Kanoa represented my husband for our prenuptial agreement and later we used him for our wills. He was easy to work with and kept things succinct. We appreciated that he offered a fixed fee for our wills so we knew the cost up front. We will definitely go back to him if we decide to update our will...s or do other estate planning in the future.

Director of Wealth Transfer

I am the director of our tax and wealth transfer group at Brighton Jones Wealth Management Group. We often have the need to refer clients to estate planning attorneys and facilitate the process of having their estate plans drafted. Kanoa is one of the select attorneys that we work with, we have found... Kanoa to be extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and discreet, and extremely responsive to our and our clients needs. We continue to regularly refer clients to Kanoa and plan to do so in the future. He is an outstanding estate planning attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
