Yesterday, I had emailed several law firms, regarding a personal injury I had received from an assault 3 years ago. Due to the circumstances of my case, I knew the chances were slim that I could seek any restitution, but I needed to try, nonetheless. I was very quickly contacted by one of the firm’s attorneys, Jeremy O’Steen, Esq., who spoke with me for quite some time, answering my questions, giving me guidance, and ultimately explaining why I am unlikely to have a case at all. He was very kind, professional, helpful, and he seemed truly sympathetic towards my situation. He recommended that I seek other opinions on the matter, though I would likely receive the same conclusion. Though mildly disappointed (which had nothing to do with anything he did), I was very grateful for his time. He surprisingly called again, today, with more information and some good news! Though the firm still wasn’t interested in taking my case, Jeremy had called with information and advice that might strengthen my case and help to get representation. I think his kindness speaks highly, as to what kind of person he is, and even greater for how much he cares, as an attorney. The fact that he sought out information after we spoke, yesterday, and not only filed it away in his brain to have for future cases, but CALLED ME to educate me, as well......that is above and beyond. I’m not saying that he (or this firm) will always have time to do this for every case they reject, but I AM saying that I believe that if Jeremy or this firm were to represent you, YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS. Thank you, to Jeremy and Bickerton Law Group, for going out of your way to educate me and give me a bit of hope. I wish you all the absolute best, and I appreciate your time. If you are looking for an attorney who cares, and is dedicated to serving you in the best way possible, Jeremy just might be your guy! I can tell that he is driven to succeed, and that he won’t hesitate to find answers, if he doesn’t already have them. I believe he will strive to do his best as your attorney, and that he will provide you with all the guidance you need, along the way.

Was delayed in response for a number of reasons after several positive discussions. Personal feeling is my pockets were not deep enough as contingency fee seemed to be a long haul. We did not come to a representation agree. Jim is articulate and sounds like a great trail attorney. Wish he was on my team but not today...

This law firm handled my employment law case against a local government agency. They were not afraid to go against the deep pockets of local government, and they faced the most expensive, hired-gun law firms in the State. Loretta Sheehan was my lead attorney, and I was very happy with her heartfelt dedication and performance. All of the attorneys at DLL are top tier litigators, and took my case very seriously. They had the extensive knowledge and expertise to prevail against the law firms that corporations and government agencies hire to hide the truth. When DLL took over my case, my stress levels dropped significantly because I knew that they had my best interest in mind, and they were going to do everything they could to make things right for me. They did, and I am eternally grateful.

In March of 2016, my mother passed away after complications from an endoscopy exam. After getting no reasonable explanation from her physician, I knew I had to get answers somehow. My mom was an otherwise healthy 69 year old with a history of small bowel obstructions. I tried to find the best lawyers in Honolulu and landed upon their website. The legal process is extremely hostile toward ordinary citizens suing doctors or hospitals, but Matthew Winter, Kirsten Bennett, Thomas Otake and all the other amazing people there guided me through the lawsuit and into trial. I owe a debt of gratitude to them, as I now know what happened to my mother. I believe that universal healthcare is long overdue in this country, but until then we need firms like Davis Levin Livingston to help victims of medical negligence in a for-profit healthcare system run by pharmaceutical and insurance companies. Highly recommend them.

Mark Davis and his firm represented me in a case of utmost sensitivity. What I appreciate most about the entire legal team of Davis, Levin and Livingston is their passion for justice and their dedication to their clients. My wife and I were always treated with respect and our desires were confidently represented in mitigation and in court. We were included in all decisions regarding our case and our concerns throughout this long and, at times, tedious process were always heard. They also followed up on our concerns until they were able to answer our questions knowledgeably and accurately. The availability, personal touch and professionalism of the entire team was first rate.

They were always so welcoming and compassionate. Communication was never a problem and emails were answered super fast, especially when we had so much questions.They showed so much dedication to our case, and allowed us to provide justice for a loved one. We wouldn't have chosen any other team!

After doing extensive research I knew that Davis Levin Livingston was the firm for me due to the success they have had in cases like mine. What surprised me was their personal touch. In the 3 years it took to resolve our case, I became good friends with Matt Winter, one of the many amazing lawyers and staff members who worked on my case. Living on Maui and having my entire case on Oahu had me concerned of how my case would progress. Matt and the firm kept in touch and I was regularly informed of the status of my case. Due to financial restraints I was unable to afford plane flights back and forth. Matt limited the times I would need to appear and the firm covered my airfare when it was necessary. Now that my case is over, I still keep in touch with Matt, who has always shown not only a professional, but a personal interest in my daughters and I. I'm thankful for all the hard work everyone at Davis Levin and Livingston has done for the future of my family.

Dan was extremely helpful when my children and I were hit by a drunk driver. Being a military family, we had minimal knowledge of Hawaii state laws or insurance policies. Dan was able to explain everything in detail and guide me through the entire process, even after our family was required to move off island due to new military orders. He kept me up to date on the entire process and worked hard to get us the compensation we deserved. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone needing help in an auto accident case!

For the first time I had need to retain counsel in Honolulu Hawaii practicing in the plaintiff’s personal injury bar area. I was fortunate in finding after due diligence the Law Offices of Dennis W Potts and Dennis Potts, Esq. Most attorneys are presumed to have the required professional expertise and practical knowledge in their specialized areas of practice and Mr. Potts certainly satisfied that requirement. In retaining counsel the client does not know how responsive counsel will be and her/his “ bedside manner.” Critically, Mr. Potts consistently communicated promptly with me and kept me informed about the status of my matter and timely responded to my inquiries. I was fully satisfied with Mr. Potts legal representation.

I highly recommend Shim & Chang to anyone in need of a personal injury law firm. When I was severely injured in an accident, it was another attorney who recommended them to me. I was unfamiliar with the litigation process and not exactly sure I wanted to pursue it. My first meeting with Roy and Harvey changed my mind. They were very thorough in explaining each step in terms that I could understand. By the time I left that first meeting, I trusted them to move forward with my case if they thought it was viable. Harvey took over from there, and he was great to work with. He has enthusiasm and integrity and did many hours of research on my behalf. In fact, everyone I came in contact with at Shim & Chang, including the office staff, was polite and professional. In the end, I received a very fair settlement, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Mahalo to everyone at Shim & Chang!

He was very efficient and knowledgeable, and broke down every piece of what was happening in terms that I could easily understand so I knew what was going on. With the help of Harvey everything was settled and I was compensated for my injuries as well. Sharon at the front desk is also very sweet and helpful, she is very kind and also gave me a lot of information during the whole process. Overall I was very satisfied with my experience with Shim & Chang.

I was injured while on vacation in Hawaii and actually was referred to Shim and Chang by an attorney that had litigated against them in the past. I was told that if she were in my position that is who she would contact. Immediately that was a plus and a relief for me as I live in Arizona and had no idea where to start. I received a call from Harvey who asked pertinent questions regarding the incident. Immediately I was impressed by his honesty- he wanted to make sure we had a case before going forward- and his thoroughness in the questions he asked. After a couple of conversations, Shim and Chang agreed to take my case. From the start ,everyone I spoke to was kind, caring and made me feel I was important to them. I felt as though Sharon, Harvey’s assistant, was my long lost friend. She called often to check on me after surgeries and therapy. They made everything so easy! I had always heard that attorneys nickle and dime you... not the case whatsoever! I was actually stunned by the extremely minimal costs that were reported at the end of the case. I was very impressed by this firm from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are truly the best firm I have ever dealt with. Thank you Harvey, Sharon and all at Shim and Chang who were there for me at a very difficult time. I truly appreciate all that you did for me and my family!

When the condo owner living above us caused water damage to our condo, we were displaced for nearly two months. When his insurance carrier refused to compensate us for the inconvenience and the temporary housing cost, we hired the law firm of Shim and Chang to help us. They were easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and very professional. They put together a complete claim package showing the damage to our condo and listing the additional costs we had to incur through no fault of our own. Because they were so highly respected by the other side’s insurance company, they were able to resolve our claim. We would highly recommend the Shim and Chang law firm.

I was in a car accident in Kona, while vacationing and reached out to Ian's firm after flying home. Ian is great. His son, Scott, is great. The real workhorse was their associate, Rachel Otto. I worked very closely with her for almost 3 years. She is clear, responsive, compassionate and very hard working. I always felt I was in the very best professional hands after my frequent chats with Rachel. As we moved to close the case and settle, Scott made some suggestions but ultimately made clear that he was working for me and I was ultimately in complete control. When your life and health are turned upside-down by a game changing injury, the long journey from initial contact with a lawyer all the way to the end, can be a rollercoaster of emotions and states of mind. Having a legal team of very personable, capable, and friendly people can really keep you positive and confident throughout a very trying ordeal. This firm actually took a little less of the settlement so I could walk with the number I was hoping for. I have to think that a majority of firms wouldn't even hear of such a thing. Working with Ian Mattoch and associates was one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you to you all!

Before that meeting, I was scared, upset and lost, but with the guidance of Levitt, Yamane and Soldner, I found the confidence to fight for our case. The support of this firm is top notch. Our case isn’t a cake walk, and I doubt any case is. Our case is more like a marathon, and I’ve got the best team within this firm that is dedicated to be with us.

I was pleasantly surprised about how comfortable they all make you feel, from every person you meet in the office to the phone calls and follow-up. It is a bit nerve racking to reach out for help but I was immediately put at ease when EVERYTHING was explained in laymans terms at our first meeting. The staff was professional yet personable, when they provided updates or needed information.
