I tried using a message service on the website that opened up a text with a BOT who told me to call the office. A paralegal named Judy answered the phone and was very abrupt and dismissive. She kept talking over me and did not want to listen to what I was saying. She did not take any information to pass to a lawyer. I guess this law office has too much business to accept new clients or even talk with them. read more

Mike , Kanani and there whole team did an amazing job for my brother and I in a time when we didn't know what to do.. but knew we needed justice for my mom .

From the time I called Leavitt Yamane & Soldner after my Fiancès motorcycle accident, they were AMAZING! They gave me information, explained to me how it works, sent me forms and explained in detail what I had to do, they always kept us in the loop. Answered EVERY single question me & my Fiancè had! The Paralegals were AMAZING too!! I thank you all for making this very tragic time in our lives, a breeze - from the paper works, to the emails, phone calls, texts, phone conferences, & everything in between, you all were amazing. If I had to choose, I would choose you guys all over again!! Mike, Kanani & her team, will be one of the best people you will ever work with! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! read more

Leavitt Yamane & Soldner helped me tremendously after my insurance company, the ER Doctor and my Primary care doctor dismissed my injuries and ghosted me following a severe t-bone mva. I had a concussion, loss of shoulder strength and an inability to run for more than 1/8 mile. LY&S helped get the rehab and subsequest shoulder surgery that I needed. read more

I'd like to send a huge "Thank you" to attorney John Yamane and paralegal Jamie Grimm for their professional, committed legal services in assisting and guiding me on my father's case who was an 88 year old pedestrian accident victim who lost his life. From my initial video call with John Yamane, who explained and outlined the whole process in detail, I knew I was working with the right person. The continuous emails from paralegal Jamie who always kept me in the loop and responded promptly to my questions made the days go by faster and showed true dedication to my father's case. If you are in need of personal injury legal services, I highly recommend the team of John Yamane and Jamie Grimm! Thank you again to both of them and although I miss my father dearly, with John and Jamie's assistance another chapter has finally closed for me! Tracie Uyechi read more

Based in the ratings alone I really expected better. The attorney who called me back, sounded like an older female (could've been a dude I'm not sure, just to describe because I didn't get a name), was rude and dismissive. Kept interrupting and not even asking pertinent questions. Finally I explained the issue of a car accident and she said "and what were you calling us for"? Like hello! A polite and courteous but in pain potential client calls about a car accident representation for personal injury and you don't even know how to speak, or what they're calling for? No thanks, plenty of other places in town who are actually kind, professional and helpful. What is the world coming to when people can't be courteous in the least? This definitely wasn't someone from Hawaii, could not have been. Had that mainland cadence and brittle salty attitude with no courtesy. The initial interaction with the voicemail was a lot more positive and helpful, and this interaction really was a waste of my time. read more

I contacted them over the phone because my grandmother broke her hip at a nursing facility. I was transferred to a man who began collecting information, and seemed to be very disorganized. When I gave him names, I he could not understand, and I had to spell them phonetically. He wasn't able to keep pace with the conversation, and his dog kept barking in the background. The final straw is when I told him my grandmother's hip was broken, not fractured... and he told me he wasn't going to argue semantics with me. After all the commercials I've seen on TV, talking about how compassionate their legal team is; this was clearly not the case for me. I wish I had asked for this man's name, because he should not be allowed to answer calls. If this is the quality of people they employ, I question how accurate they are portrayed in their paid advertisements. read more

My family was in a car accident that resulted in two fatalities. As one can imagine, this has been a financial and mentally challenging process to go through. We reached out to LY&S and all expectations were exceeded. They thoroughly walked my family and I through the legal process in a way that allowed us to mourn at the same time. Working with Mike Cruise, Kanani, and the rest of their team lifted so much stress off our shoulders. While we were processing the difficult life we had ahead of us, we knew the legal process was well taken care of. read more

Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner must be Hawaii's reigning champions of over-marketing, shamelessly profiting off the tragedy of the Lahaina fire to bankroll their endless ad blitz. Watching their commercials 100 times during a single football game is pure torture. It's clear they can afford this saturation only by gouging their clients and exploiting disaster victims. If something tragic ever happened to me, I'd rather walk away with nothing than let a crooked, money-hungry operation like this profit from my pain. Thanks, but no thanks--your ad budget speaks louder than your ethics ever could. read more

My 9 month old son and I were struck by a car while crossing a busy street. What a nightmare that was! Thank God for Nicole Kalakau and her team! They were helpful, kind, and understanding throughout the whole process. I don't recommend getting hit by a car but if it should ever happen to you, go see Nicole! read more

Great people to deal With. They answer all my questions then did great follow up which is unlike most business in Hawaii.. read more

Mike Cruise, Kanani, and their team assisted me in an insurance claim and settlement related to a car collision and resultant injuries. Even though it wasn't big money for them, the legal team went out of their way to do their best for me. They are knowledgeable, effective/reliable, and empathetic. I could focus on my own physical recovery and not worry about the legal issues, trusting them to take care of my case, which they did. I recommend them to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer. They are the people you want to represent you when you're dealing with a life-changing challenge. Big mahalo to LY&S!! read more

Long story short this amazing team with Nicole K. took my case and helped me. Such a great team, always checking up on me and making me feel like family. Thank you for this wonderful experience!! I recommend this law firm if you're ever in an accident. read more

Words will never be able to express the gratitude my family and I have for Mike, Kanani, Debra, and everyone else at LYS. My grandmother was in an accident a few years back. Between my own responsibilities to take care of and helping my grandmother through this process, working with Mike and Kanani have been a blessing. They're so understanding and patient (I cannot stress their patience enough). There's so much I want to say, but in a nutshell, the staff at LYS are amazing. Thank you again! Also wanted to mention Kelly. Thank you! read more

We needed legal advice and was able to set up an appt right away w them after my daughter received 2nd degree burns at a restaurant. I'm not sure what happened in the process but before u know it, they dropped us not too long after and we didn't hear from them after. So was pretty unfortunate especially since my daughter still has the scars from her unfortunate experience. Smh shucks I heard from others and they said that these guys only take cases they will win shucks sad for my daughter that the didn't even try. read more

I was involved in an accident in 2020 in which my car was totaled. The other party that hit me had no insurance. We were offered nothing. I was referred to John Yamane and Jamie Grimm by a lawyer friend of ours. They were both so helpful from the start and helped me in every possible way. They called me and communicated with me and checked up with me and guided me through all the months and years. Jamie was very patient with me and kept in touch with me by email and phone and answered all my questions and kept me updated on everything that was happening with the case. This made everything a lot of things easier on me. I would recommend their service to anyone that needs legal advice and legal help for an injury case. I want to thank this firm for all of their help. read more

My boyfriend had a really tough experience at a rehab and we were looking for legal help. Judy called us back immediately, after hours even, and helped us with compassion and great advice. She wasn't even getting paid to talk with us and she provided the best service and care that I've experienced bar none. Lawyers and legal teams have a bad reputation for being cold or unhelpful unless you are paying them but Judy took almost 20 minutes to help us and gave us all of our best options. Judy is amazing and I'd imagine the firm she works for is no different! These folks care and have so much Aloha! Thank you Judy we will never forget your kind heart read more

Me and my sister was referred to John Yamane. We met with him and Dexter for the first time and was willingly to squeeze us in on a weekend to talk about our case. To me, I find them both accommodating to us. I would recommend anyone to see John and Dexter as they're very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful people. My sister and I got involved in a car accident and they helped us in every way possible. Dexter and John was really great at communicating and checking up on us throughout the months. They were both very patience with us and they did most of the work! All they ask is for you to keep in touch with them via email/phone. Fighting for a case should never be stressful and they made it very easy for us. Thank you John and Dexter! Again, I would recommend! read more

Woody and his team at LYS helped my husband with his claim after his car accident. They took care of helping us navigate through all the insurance claims, medical payments and other details so we could focus on his health and healing. They returned emails and calls quickly and explained the process so we felt at ease. Most importantly they were professional and caring. You can trust LYS. read more

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a drunk driver. I was in such disarray; not knowing what to do about my health, my car, and my bills. Mr Yamane had laid it out so easily and was always there with me step by step, through the whole process. I cannot have move forward, but with his guidance and very caring attitude, I was able to get everything taken care of with complete easiness. Thank you so much MR Yamane. You and your staff Brenda have treated me like family from the very start which is a very sensitive issue since most places treat you like a number; so thank you. Aloha and Mahalos, WP read more

My son was in an accident on his moped while attending UH. We talked to several attorneys before settling on Leavitt Yamane & Soldner. They did an amazing job representing him and getting him a great settlement. Nicole Kalakau was his attorney. She is very professional and efficient. Her paralegal, Judy Miller, was very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend this law firm. read more

I live on the island of Maui and unexpectedly woke up in a hospital on Oahu after having been run over by a bus. I spent two months hospitalized and had multiple fractures throughout my body and a number of other wounds. Needless to say, getting hit by a bus is highly traumatic for the person being hit, as well as their family and friends, and there was no shortage of uncertainty about what the future may hold for me. Thankfully, over the years my wife and I had seen Leavitt Yamane & Soldner advertisements on TV and elsewhere, and when friends came to visit me in the hospital nearly every one of them said, "I hope you called Leavitt Yamane & Soldner." So for us, not knowing the road ahead, we called LYS in search of some strategy and comfort in dealing with what we assumed would eventually be a lawsuit. ( As a side note, I thought if I had been seeing their advertisements in prime time ad slots, they are clearly doing something right for their clients. Being able to pay for that ad space for so many years should say something about how they treat their clients and perform for their clients.) While I was still immobile due to multiple spinal fractures and all the rest of my injuries, John Yamane appeared at my hospital bedside after my wife reached out to them. He is a kind and professional gentleman who clearly knows how to navigate all the hurdles and nuance of the legal system and do so while keeping his clients clearly informed as to what is taking place and why, each step of the process. He has a wonderful supporting team who all helped provide us with comfort, kindness, and the confidence they were here to help us find our way through the thorny brambles of personal injury and into the flowery meadows of physical recovery and financial compensation. Kaui, Jamie, Brenda (and I know there are others I may be omitting here and for that I apologize) were all involved in my case and were a wonderful supporting cast along the way. I simply can't thank them enough. I should also point out that after I had recovered enough to come home to Maui, John flew over to meet with me at the scene of the accident to better understand what took place. He also utilized other experts to support my case. So in addition to their own legal team, there are other third party experts LYS have at the ready to support a case as needed. In short, they spared no effort or expense to ensure the best possible outcome for their client. For those who may be reading this as a source of information because of a situation you'd rather not be in, I am sorry for whatever circumstance you may be dealing with and wish you all the best. If you are in search of legal representation, I can attest to the fact that John Yamane and his team are top-notch. The legal system is a beast for those, like me, who have never had to deal with it. This team of professionals are exceptional at keeping their clients informed and educated throughout the process of helping you find some peace of mind amidst the most trying of circumstances. They know the law, the system, and the best strategies for guiding you to an outcome that helps you move forward with your life. Mahalo nui loa once again to John, Kaui, Jamie and Brenda....and others behind the scenes...who helped me and my family find some peace of mind. read more

We contacted Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner after losing a family member due to someone else's negligence in 2012. Since then we've been working with attorney Mike Cruise and we've never regretted choosing LYS law to represent us. They are all very knowledgeable and KNOW what they need to do to help make a WRONG RIGHT. The entire staff is always so welcoming & pleasant to work with. They treat us like FAMILY not just another customer! I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We are so grateful to LYS law for their guidance this year. They were reassuring, clear and very easy to work with. My husband was hit by a car while riding a bike in downtown Honolulu. His knee was crushed and he had to have surgery and be in a brace for 3-4 months with a long recovery and physical therapy. Amidst the chaos and emotional burden of the accident, having support from the team made all the difference in navigating the confusion of ambulance costs, medical bills, car insurance phone calls and so forth. This would have been much harder if we had done all of this on our own. I cant even imagine where we would be financially and emotionally if we had had no representation. He is able to walk again and we are so happy to be on the other side of this period of our lives. Mahalo nui to Nicole Kalakau and Tris Baker and everyone else who assisted us with our case. read more

WONDERFUL PEOPLE! Helped me a lot! In 2014 I was hit by a car while walking. In a cross walk. I had suffered a traumatic brain injury. I had to quite school, work and my daily life. I was at my lowest point and I felt like giving up. Then we met with Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner, they helped me understand that I was going to be ok and they were going to take care of me. I first met with Woody Soldner, and he introduced me to his team! They were great people! The lawyer that worked with me personally was Mike! He was the best! He worked really hard to get me what I needed. I highly recommend Mike! Please look into them! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Leavitt, Yamane & Solder you guys helped me move forward and get back into my life. Mahalo Kaylee Rowe read more

After getting into an accident due to someone else's negligence, I sought legal help. I am so grateful to have had Mr. Yamane and Dexter assisting me in my case. If not for their help, I would have been left with financial worries on top of my physical issues. I concentrated on getting better and it made my matter much easier to cope with. His assistant Dexter always returned calls on a timely manner and on all occasions was pleasant. I hope to not ever use their services again, but if need be I will not hesitate to give Mr. Yamane a call. I highly recommend Mr. Yamane and Dexter. read more

In July 2018 I was pregnant with my daughter about 30 weeks. My family was driving to go get dinner in downtown when a car had whipped out in front of us and tried to drive off. They did not get very far. I thought I was fine but a little in shock as I had never been in an accident. I was wearing my seatbelt and thankfully my husband who was driving was going 20 mph and had breaker enough the airbags didn't deploy however after getting checked out they said I had high blood pressure and needed to be taken in come to find out I was in pre term labor the hospital had to give my day steroids to try and develop her thankfully she managed to stay put after a number of ER visits following the Accident for preterm labor we were lucky enough that our daughter was okay but it was the scariest thing in the world to go through. my mother recommended a lawyer and I had no idea about any of it. I worked with Mr.Leavitt and Debrah they took care of everything I honestly could not thank them enough they made sure we didn't have to worry about anything and when the time came we were more then compensated. They explained everything so I knew what was going on. They are incredible people Debrah called to check in every so often to make sure I knew how to fill out the forms and through out the whole process. I can not recommend them enough. These are the people you want taking care of you trust me. read more

Leavitt Yamane & Soldner - Amelia born happy and healthy at one years old - Personal Injury Law Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Seriously, Debra and Leavitt was awesome! So I went in for a consultation and I was intimidated by Leavitt's height but as we sat and he talked, he was nice but professional and most importantly straight! No sugar coat! By this time I saw them, I spoke to 3 other lawyers that would not even try to take my case! He was straight and still sympathetic. I was in a car accident and was hit in the back. I totally went over my PIP coverage and was still getting treatment for my back. How was I going to afford this?? Needless to say he took my case. They did everything!!!! All I did was sign my consent to get medical paperwork and Debra did all the research!!! Debra is wonderful! She communicates well and timely! Leavitt explains thoroughly in a kind manner. At the end, they took care of all my medical bills! And some!!! I was stress free!!! **They were very supportive throughout the process as I had many doubts. Checked up on me as I continually went to the appointments. And closeout was quick!! **They also checked up on me months after just to see how I was feeling, so impressed!!! read more

***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** Me and my family were injured in a head on auto collision. Thankfully, and most importantly, we are all still around to talk about it if we ever need to. The aftermath of the accident affected my family greatly. Me, I was the most injured of us all. Because of my injuries, I missed weeks of work. My dad suggested I contact an attorney. I called Leavitt, Yamane, and Solder's office. No sooner was I in a meeting with Jon and Dexter where they explained my rights and what services they were willing to provide me. I retained their services. Fast forward two years, my case was completed successfully. I credit Jon, Dexter, and their assistants for their diligence, professionalism, concern, and steadfast work ethic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CONTACTING LEAVITT, YAMANE & SOLDNER if you were injured in an accident. read more

Thank you to Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner for representing me after and through my traumatic experience, I really appreciate it!!! Made a lot of things easier on me. A big mahalo to Debra!

And here's proof this company needs an investigation! My yelp comment was taken down from my real profile and placed in a fake dummy. To have yelp remove. My statement is true and I did get a return call from receptionist. I also got a message from firm to apologize but havnt checked back as I was dealing with ordeal the message appeared in inbox so I read it and pushed reply and phone froze up and everything was erased!!!! This company gave me a dummy profile and place the negative comment in a made up account to confuse yelp!!. What a nightmare. I'm not sure if that comment I posted was fair but I honestly was degraded and humiliated. I have pics of burns and ER visits. How dare this company as they actually prove there dishonesty and potential conflict of interest. I was grateful I received an apology at first then bam i was huh? Where'd it go? Check it out everyone I didn't know it was possible but there's a way to defame a person to negate a comment! read more

If your seeking a personal injury lawyer, consider this firm!! I was a previous client and I am very satisfied of their work. They did whatever it took to figure out or to settle the problems in my case. I had a difficult case and extremely complicated with everything I was involved. Debra the paralegal worked so hard to deal with it all. Also after an accident you would think the insurance companies you paid for would help justify and settle the problem out; in my case nothing happen until I seek out this firm. I didn't even know any details of the accident until Debra gave me the police reports. Leavitt & Debra did everything they could for me. I honestly wouldn't have gotten through all my recovery if it wasn't for this firm. Choosing the help from this firm was the best decision!! read more
