Fifty-year legal career emphasizing the resolution of a wide variety of claims for businesses and individuals. Experience in a wide range of contract issues, land titles, long term leases, real estate development, real estate brokerage, personal injury and wrongful death claims, fee conversions, land use and zoning, restrictive covenants, securities brokerage, partnerships, insurance coverage, creditors rights and lender liability, construction contracts and defects, condemnation and eminent domain, unfair and deceptive trade practices, unfair competition, copyright, trademark, the American With Disabilities Act, wills and trusts and probate, Hawai`i Land Court, admiralty and maritime law, federal and state antitrust law, Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, Hawai`i Uniform Land Sales Practices Act, and federal civil appeals. Tried cases in all four Hawai`i Circuits, Hawai`i Federal Court and 9th Circuit, Los Angeles County Superior Court and the U.S. Federal Court in Saipan.

Once adequate discovery or other sharing of information has occurred, it is very worthwhile to mediate because the effort to resolve is positive as compared to trying to out prove the other side(s); you will probably even learn more about your case, bad and good; and, during the mediation you can continually evaluate with good information whether settlement is preferable to a trial or arbitration.
