I highly recommend Mr. Bordenave. If you want a highly competent, professional breath of fresh air to advocate for you as you progress forward, this is your man. I have tried for several years, with no success, to register a trade name for a product I want to introduce to the market. Mr. Bordena ve's name came up in a conversation and I decided to give him a call. I received a call back that very same day. As a business owner for many years I have used attorney's in the past and I was pleasantly surprised to find a knowledgeable, considerate person who listened to what I wanted and my concerns. Our business was conducted over the phone which was very convenient for me. He answered my questions and also asked questions of me so that he could proceed forward efficiently. I had my trade name within 2 days and the filed paperwork in my hands within a couple weeks. He also had excellent follow-through, which I found terribly lacking in my prior dealings with attorneys . Imagine my happy surprise! What a time and energy saver for me his services turned out to be! I found Mr. Bordenave to be very professional, with a heart. Because of such a positive experience, I have retained Mr. Bordenave for a much more complex case. I know I will be treated with the same care, respect, and professionalism.

Personally called me to discuss my case and the type of criminal defense his firm can provide including a balanced, well thought out perspective to the options and rights I have in this felony iindictment and trial strategies.

William A. Harrison has given numerous talks over the years to my graduate students at the University of Hawaii on the topic of the USA PATRIOT Act and subsequent laws passed to either confirm or modify that legislation. He skillfully relates that to the specific topic of the courses, drawing the students into the subject and emphasizing how this legislative stream will affect them in their professional lives. The students always respond with great interest and, in some cases, surprise at what they learn. Although I selected "Hired" rather than "Consulted" in this case the talks were done without remuneration. His dedication to the education of our students has been evident and impressive. William Harrison is an excellent, highly engaging speaker. Hence I have given him the highest rating available.

My son hired Bill Harrison as his defense attorney, but I was inadvertently pulled into the case due to communications the plaintiff had with me and consequently was listed as a witness. During a very stressful period of 6 months Bill guided my son expertly and kept him informed of how the case was p rogressing. Even though he thought my son had a very good chance of winning the case, he never committed to an outcome, which was both professional and very responsible. I had great respect for that. After the case was extended in December, it was finally called three months later. Even though the court proceeding was short on this day, it is here where Bill Harrison's expertise and extensive knowledge of the Law became obvious and evident to all. For every objection or counter argument the prosecution had to continue the case once again, he had a better answer and could deliver proof of what he was saying. His arguments were concise and absolutely to the point. He managed to get the case dismissed with prejudice! I was truly stunned, for the outcome of this short hearing was better than actually winning the trial! I highly recommend Bill Harrison as a criminal defense lawyer. He is committed and absolutely dedicated. We knew that we were in the best hands possible and we were not wrong.

Where do I begin...William A Harrison is not only an excellent defense attorney but most importantly he’s a true humanist. Hes been by my side frm the beginning...pre-trial, voire dire process, trial, conviction, incarceration, 2 appeals n YES eventually overturned by the Hawaii Supreme Court! Mr. Ha rrison visited me numerous times to keep me abreast on my appeals. One particular counsel visit tht touched my heart was 2 days before Christmas n hours before Mr. Harrison was to board a flight. He stopped by despite his grueling schedule in order to reassure me tht he has not forgotten about me. I was truely inspired by his compassion n my hope restored...with him in my corner I can do 100yrs (metaphorically speaking) THANK U THANK U THANK U! U are my Jesus. I would n have DEFINITELY recommend Bill

Bill is certainly in the top tier of Hawaii's defense lawyers, and his fees are quite reasonable compared with those of his more arrogant and media-hungry colleagues. I was facing a pretty serious federal charge, and he negotiated a plea agreement that resulted in a very light sentence. The prosecuto r talked to me right after sentencing, and told me Bill had "saved my life." I can't think of a better recommendation than that. As others have mentioned, he won't return all your calls, or reply to all your emails. There's a lot of anxiety associated with being on the wrong end of a criminal case, so I considered knocking a star off for that. But you just have to trust him. The impression I got is that he's focused on whatever case is most urgent at the time. But when it's your turn, you have his complete attention, and he really knows what he's doing. Bill's a friendly guy, highly respected by his colleagues, and driven to get the best possible results for his clients. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend! Mr. Sam took my case, ran with it and got the judge to rule in my favor! He’s very knowledgeable!

Mr. King was very prompt in responding, professional, and kind when I had urgent questions about my situation. He spoke to me without judgement, was patient, and I could tell - really, really cares about people. I gained much more clarity just by talking with him for a short time. Thank you Mr. King.

I am truly ruined when it comes to Lawyers. Sam King has set the bar extremely high for my expectations with Lawyers and I know this because of his professionalism and expertise during my divorce. I am active duty stationed here in Oahu and was in need of a good attorney that wouldn't gut my bank a ccount in the process. He gave me a free consultation after which he quoted me a flat rate price for services depending on my situation for my divorce. Which means that I could call him up, send him an email with more questions or concerns and he doesn't charge me by the hour or by the email; this alone is worth its weight in gold for active duty on a budget. As we went into the "negotiations" with my ex and her Lawyer he explained clearly my chances of winning custody of my son if we were to go to trial. Which was great because I didn't want a Lawyer that just told me what I wanted to hear; he told me the real brutal truth even if its not what I wanted to hear. As active duty I didn't have a lot of faith in my situation but with Sam as my Lawyer handling my divorce he helped me get split 50/50 physical and legal custody of my son. As a father dedicated to my son this was huge because there isn't a lot of information out there for active duty males and my son is my world. In a nut shell Sam King did exactly what he said he was going to do, there was no hidden agenda or surprises, he was honest and straight forward and if you hire Sam as your Lawyer you will not be disappointed in your decision of hiring a Lawyer. I am ruined because I know that he is a rare thing, a solid Lawyer you can trust and you will never find another one like him.

My mother suffered a fractured jaw and bruised ribs from a fall at a commercial parking lot in Kailua. It was obvious the property management firm was negligent due to no lighting and obstructions leading to the overflow parking lot. You never want to settle directly with the insurance adjuster unl ess you have representation from an attorney. After consulting with dozens of attorneys who claimed they specialized in personal injury claims 99% refused to take the case citing: age of mom, Medicare issues and/or trouble prosecuting premise injuries. I finally came across with Sam King. Wow immediately I knew I found the right attorney. Most lawyers did not even want to spend much time on the phone discussing the issue but Mr. King invited us to his office and I could immediately know he was knowledgeable and very experienced in handling such cases. He knew how to work the system and who to talk with to get a good settlement. Other attorneys were simply clueless on many of these matters. I also liked that Mr. King never charged a penny upfront and I was free to consult with him regarding matters to this case. Very friendly and honest he could discuss the possible issues to expect. What my mom and I REALLY cherished from Mr. King was his ability to really listen. All these other attorneys talk and interrupt you constantly. Many times victims are formulating their thoughts and instead of assisting your thought process other attorneys cut you off. But not Mr. King. At the end we got a really big settlement w/o even having to go to trial. I would overwhelmingly recommend Mr. King to anyone who has experienced a personal injury. Sincerely, Richard and Nina Nov 2017

Sam helped some friends and I get out of a jam. We got tickets for being in an area we were not supposed to be in, unbeknownst to us and were mandated to show up in court. First, he was relaxed, which immediately helped us to feel reassured and calm. Second, he had a case file, plan, and defense/exp lanation already outlined as well as a description defending our character. By doing that, he already worked with the opposing lawyer and the judge and the case was essentially over before it started without our having to lift a finger, say a word, or spend any time on the case other than just showing up as mandated. It could not have gone better. If you are ever in need, I highly recommend Sam and believe you will be the best of hands.
