For the more than a year it took to settle my case, Kendal Luke and his staff stuck by me and always treated me with value and respect. He never pressured me to compromise on my values and was always reasonable when accounting his fees. Most importantly, during the critical moments of the case, it would be his capacity for compassion that was key to representing me well. This is what drew me to selecting him, and I really feel that I couldn't have selected a better attorney. Now that my case has finally come to a close, I look back and am so thankful for having the team of Doi & Luke on my side. Kendal Luke and his staff often went above and beyond in various ways, so that I always felt as though I was among friends. "Island Lawyers" is a fitting name for this firm as they truly reflect the down-to-earth warmth that characterizes our islands. Mahalo nui loa, Kendal Luke and Team! I will be forever grateful. read more

Don't go there waste of money!! They don't return calls and are very selective of cases they take.

Kendal was one of the attentive and awesome attorneys I've ever worked with. He saved me in a clutch situation and I highly recommend him and this office! read more

I would not use this attorney. Today I met another person who was also taken in by Kendall and Gavin. Don't waste your time with these attorneys.. They don't return calls. I would give them minus 10+ if Yelp provided that. read more

Gavin Doi missed my court date didn't inform me and tried to call him 10 times and he doesn't return my calls.

K. luke was not attentive at all to our case. We initially stated what we wanted and he went the total opposite. Multiple times my husband granted me permission to speak on his behalf and he kept ignoring me through emails, texts and office visits. Wasted plenty of money just to hear him talk about random other things. He's the worst attorney I love ever experience and we wish we did not waste our time and money on him. Lack of empathy and compassion in our case!!! On top of that, we felt he was paying more attention to the opposite party in the case. Next time charge the opposite party instead of us. read more

Mr. Kendal Luke did exactly what he said he was going to do and get me my son back! I'm so grateful to him and his polite staff. Immediately walking into the office I was greeted and treated with the utmost respect. He made me feel very comfortable and reassured that he had my back and would be right there by my side the entire time. I think it's awesome that he only had 11 days to prepare for court and was right on time; ready to fight. I will definitely be hiring him again in the future for all my family law needs. Thank y'all and God bless! read more

All I can say is---RUN! They state to you that they will help you to their fullest extent. They promise that they will be with you every step of the way through your divorce. The only things they do are make empty promises, string you along, make multiple mistakes on legal statements, and of course send you routine monthly bills! Especially if you are a strong, white, woman-don't even waste your time dialing the phone to listen to how much they are going to help you. They have NO intention to, only to milk you out of as much money as they can. They don't answer your calls or questions. They discuss over the phone, when they finally contact you, what you have already discussed just so they can charge you again. I had what would be considered a very simple divorce. No property. No children. Took years, close to $20,000, and a lot of frustration. By the way, they charge you for their mistakes, which are manAgain, this firm is how lawyers get their bad reputation. I first went with them because of their rating, it was VERY WRONG!!!! Again, all I can say is--RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Wondering if KL ever handled a divorce case before. Had to ask him to make so many corrections. Waste of money.

This review is past due. I first retained Kendal Luke in September 2014 after being in a physical, mental and emotional abuse relationship with a military officer. When I met Kendal I was in a very tough situation I was firing my female attorney because of her lack of empathy. When I met Kendal he had less than one week to prepare for my TRO hearing.  I was thankful on my initial consultation with Kendal he took a very through history and listened to all my complaints. I was amazed how well prepared Kendal was despite having only a few days to get ready. By the time we went to the first hearing Kendal was well versed. I was extremely impressed how much Kendal had poured into my case. When speaking to the judge I felt confident and comfortable I had retained Kendal.  Unfortunately because of the difficult personality and false allegations from my ex-husband Kendal and I had to go to several more hearings and eventually went to trial. I always felt prepared and knew Kendal would fight on my behalf during court. Kendal was able to keep me calm  and was supportive through many of my crying episodes when the divorce proceedings became almost unbearable.  If you're looking for an empathic, supportive,caring and ethical attorney then retain Kendal Luke. read more

I would absolutely recommend Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law to anyone looking for legal representation. Thanks to Mr. Doi and his fabulous paralegals, I was able to get out of a really serious situation. When a person has earned the admiration of not only his clients, but also his peers, that's how you know whether or not that person is a good attorney. Mr. Doi has earned a respected reputation in the legal community. I continue to rely on Mr. Doi and recommend him without hesitation. read more

ONE WORD "AMAZING". I hired Mr. Luke to represent me in a child custody/support case. Every step of the way Mr. Luke did not sugar coat anything, he was very professional in giving advice and letting, me know my options and what to expect during the process. He insured me that dispute the frustration and stress, trust him because he will make the process as smoothly as possible. I was informed about everything, every step of the way in regards to my case. The staff at Doi/Luke are very respectful and understanding in my situation and worked with me the best way possible. I was very stressed about winning my case, I would call Mr. Luke and he would ensure that everything would be fine and to leave it up to him. I trusted Mr Luke an his staff and was granted SOLE/LEGAL custody of my daughter. I was very grateful to have Mr. Luke represent me in this case in such short notice. I highly recommend Doi/Luke Law, you will definitely not be disappointed. I can say this with confidence that you will be just as grateful and full of relieve when everything is over. Once again THANK YOU Mr. Luke & Staff for everything you have done with my case. I am grateful for your work and will recommend you to everyone I know in Hawaii. read more

We hired Kendal Luke as our family court lawyer. At our initial consultation, he seemed understanding, was easy to talk to and made us feel at ease that he would help us. Communication between us was satisfactory. However, he was weak at our court hearings so we never got anything we requested and pretty much left empty handed each time. He ALWAYS convinced us to take what was offered to us right off the bat before even trying to compromise with the other party. "Take it or leave it" kind of thing. It seemed as if he wanted an easy, short day at work. We needed someone knowledgeable, aggressive and that was in it for our best interest. He was the COMPLETE opposite; nothing like the other reviews. So, we hired new representation and it was the best decision we made. They actually got us more! We DO NOT recommend Kendal. read more

I hired Mr. Doi to represent me in a child custody/relocation case to gain custody of my children. Throughout my entire experience with Mr. Doi and his staff they always do an amazing job with keeping me informed and up to date with my case as well as current positions or options that we should address. What I truly enjoy is that he has morals unlike many attorneys out there and he respects my decisions and positions for me and my children. From day one, when I actually was represented by someone else who failed to be competent, he took the time to listen and talk to me and really take the time to explain to me what he could do and was very realistic. Any legal situation is stressful enough as is and between emotions and being anxious he has "talked me down" many times to stay focused on what was important. He is my lawyer and my therapist in some ways as with anyone that is faced with the stresses of family court, he kept me balanced and on point. I would recommend him hands down and know that you will not be disappointed. Be honest and be truthful and he will do his best to represent you. read more

I would recommend Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC to anyone in need of an attorney for family matters.

Their attorneys insight helped me focus on the goals which I was able to achieve with their guidance. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. As a client, Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC has always treated me with respect and I never felt like I was being judged. The fees are reasonable and actually really a great value for the service and expertise you receive! I highly recommend Doi/Luke, Attorneys at Law, LLLC! read more

First of all I had a child custody case. Before I hired Mr Doi, I had visitation every other weekend plus $832 a month on child support for 1 child, plus pay for my child and my airfare from Oahu to a neighbor island every other weekend. As you can see the damage really added up quickly. I decided to search online for good attorneys and came across Mr Doi's review. I quickly gave him a call and instantly made a connection. "My previous attorney had a bad attitude and would try to talk down and belittle me." I have never felt that way with Mr Doi. He listened to me, gave me important feed back and explained to me what direction we would move, what evidence we would use and why or why not it would be to our benefit. In the beginning of my situation all I wanted to do was just charge all in and go full blast on my ex wife because of the evil and conniving stuff she was doing, but Mr Doi assured me that we can still obtain positive results with out acting on the same level as my ex. When you have a child custody case It is very hard to keep your cool when you know all the lies and illegal stuff the ex tells the judge just to keep the child so she can keep the child support check coming. Well Gavin put an end to that quickly. I guess the best way to describe him is like having your martial arts Sensei with you when you are about to do battle. It's one thing to have the big brother in your corner when you're getting bullied, but it's even better when you have your Sensei with you when the bullies come by! You just seem to have that extra confidence with you. I know that there are many attorneys out there and not everyone will be everyone's favorite, you will not win all the time, but what you will get from Mr. Doi is that if the decision doesn't favor you it wont be because Mr Doi failed to represent you. I could go on and on about how good Mr. Doi's representation was, but it would take up too much time and space. Anyways I am glad to say that the outcome of my situation was that custody has been changed. We now have joint custody, but I have an extra day more out of the week than my ex, and the best part is is that she is now paying me child support! Bottom line I would hire Mr. Doi any day of the week to represent me or my family anytime. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you try giving him a call and see for yourself, all it takes is a call and if your not convinced he can do the job then all you wasted was a phone call and it didn't cost you anything. read more

Doi/Luke are amazing lawyers. They answered all my questions, and helped me get through my legal situation so easily! Their staff is also excellent. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends or family. As a bonus, their office is in a super convenient location! read more

I'm happy to recommend Mr. Gavin Doi. I wasn't sure whether I should get an attorney or go it alone and be the fool who represents oneself. I'm glad I chose to seek representation and was most fortunate to have found Mr. Doi. He responded throughout the weekend, answered questions and was intent to make sure I was happy for the long term --longer than he would be representing me. During the hearing, I had thought I knew what was going on, but quickly realized I did not understand the judges lingo to knowing when I could agree or not agree. I'm a worker bee so I'm not made of money but I am so grateful I decided to hire Mr. Doi. It was most comforting to know before the stressful trial that I had legal counsel in my corner. And then afterwards, it was equally nice that Mr. Doi let the other parties know...hey, if you need to contact my client, here's my business card, please go through me. read more
