I was very fortunate to have Ellen represent me in wrapping up a divorce that was not only contentious but also complicated by the fact that it involved property matters in both Hawaii and California. I appreciated her dogged approach, knowledge and experience in sorting out difficult time and prop erty division issues. She was very clear in what I needed to do to make things work and I appreciated both her seriousness and her sense of humor. I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking a qualified and effective counselor.

I consulted with Ellen about my custody case. She took the time to listen and steer me in the direction leading to a successful outcome. She was more than willing to assist me in any way possible even though she was working around her busy schedule and other commitments. She is friendly, profession al and knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I would highly recommend her as her background and experience speaks for itself. I am so grateful to Ellen for her support and encouragement during my time of need. If I didn’t consult with her, I know that I wouldn’t have the courage to pursue my case. Mahalo Ellen!

Ellen knows her stuff and is by the book. She fought hard for my daughters custody battle, I am very pleased with the outcome. If there's something she wants you too know she is not afraid to tell you, but I like that because If you're someone like me who doesn't understand most of the legal mumbo ju mbo she will set you straight. I would go with her again if she would have me ( I dont have anymore kids) but if I did and things went south she would be the first person I call.

I cannot say enough about the incredible work my attorney, Ellen, has done for me throughout an extremely complex and emotionally challenging divorce and custody case. From the beginning, she stepped into a situation that was already tangled, high conflict, and overwhelming, and she handled every sin gle detail with exceptional expertise, patience, and professionalism. She consistently fought for what was right for my children and provided clear guidance when everything felt confusing and stressful. Ellen was thorough, strategic, and never missed a detail, no matter how many moving parts there were. Most importantly, she approached my case with compassion. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my family’s well being, not just the legal outcome. If you are going through a complicated divorce or custody dispute and need someone who is both brilliant and deeply dedicated, I cannot recommend her enough. I am so grateful for her hard work and unwavering commitment. She got us through one of the hardest seasons of our lives, and I will always be thankful.

Ellen is a consummate professional whom is direct whilst also being considerate of her client's feelings and perspective. She is patient, taking her time to explain things her client may not understand as well taking her time to thoroughly answer any/all client questions. Ellen makes you [her client] feel like a priority, walking you through the divorce process and bringing levity to one of life's most-stressful seasons. I would readily recommend Ellen to anyone in need of her services; personally, I will always be grateful for her and for her energy and efforts on my behalf *Mahalo Nui Loa*
