Mike and Kelly really took care of me. After a horrendous accident due to someone else running a red light, I was left with injuries and a ton of questions. Kelly made sure I knew how things would proceed and took great care communicating and gathering all information. Mike was so easy to talk to and ensured I was fairly compensated. They also handled all medical correspondence which was a life saver. Thank you again!imgRyan ParriottAugust 24, 2025
Thank god for local boys like Yamane and he is a lawyer. He has a paralegal,Jamie Grimms who is on it like a hornet. She’s really good keeping clients in the loop. And getting things done. I live in Arizona but while visiting mom for her 89 birthday we were driving thru and intersection and Bam!!! Airbags deployed it happened so fast and thru the powdered micro fiberglass air that filled the vehicle my 89 year old mother moaned in agony. Long story short we survived. Time has passed my mom’s hip gives her problems on the daily. For myself something tore inside my rt shoulder. We decided to seek advise thru LYS attorney at Law. I felt so at home with yamane and his small kind pigeon slang. No worry sista…He is true to his word of what he was gonna be able to do for us. Thank you Mr Yamane and paralegal Jamie grimmsimgDee “Babadee” DonnarummaAugust 20, 2025
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 UyechiimgTracie UyechiJuly 16, 2025

I was referred to LYS Law Firm by my daughter’s friend’s Mom. Debra Ota , paralegal for Mr Leavitt was awesome to work with . She was pleasant and very knowledgeable. She made the process of my personal injury case a smooth one. A settlement was reached without having to step in a courtroom . That’s definitely a plus in my book. With Debra’s many years of experience we are able to settle our case amicably and all my major medical bills have been paid with the finds from the settlement. I have extra funds to take care of other expenses and put me in comfortable financial position. Debra is a hard worker and she works for her clients like they are her family. She is compassionate and caring and her goal is to provide her clients with a fair settlement. I would highly recommend LYS Law firm and please ask to for Debra Ota. I don’t what I would have done without LYS law firm . They even made recommendations to increase my UIM coverage to protect myself from future accidents. they are the best !imgJanis LoventhalFebruary 27, 2025
A few years ago, my wife slipped and fell on the landing outside of our Condo. She was seriously injured due to the mold and algae which was growing in a wet spot on the pavement. The onsite manager was notified by a few residents about the condition, but never corrected it. Fortunately, a friend recommended Stuart Kodish from the law firm of Leavitt, Yamane, & Soldner. Stuart immediately put us at ease with his demeanor and professionalism and explained the legal process to us regarding our case. Even though our case was difficult because some of the defendants had left the country, Stu was still able to win a monetary judgement that was better than we expected. I can't thank Stuart and his Law Firm enough for what they did for my wife, and appreciate the work Rachael did on our behalf. I found out later that Stuart Kodish was recognized in Honolulu Magazine as, "The Best Personal Injury Lawyer in Hawaii". I can recommend Stuart without hesitation.imgBrian GrubertJanuary 30, 2025

They were there to help while I was stuck in the hospital. They took care of all the paperwork for me and put a stop to all the foot-dragging by the insurance companies. They were a huge help!imgDave ZulsNovember 14, 2024
I found much relief and support when my mom was injured from a pedestrian accident. Mr.Leavitt really treated us with such kindness and graciousness as well as his amazing paralegal Deborah Ota! She would always be available and constantly checked in on us to see how we are doing, and really carried us through the whole ordeal. An amazing experience; we felt cared for, I felt my mom mattered as a person in what she went through, and they both really made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend both Mr.Leavitt, his practice, and lovely Deborah Ota.imgEliza ROctober 28, 2024
I was involved in a collision while riding my motorcycle in Honolulu. I was referred by a friend and influenced by many great reviews for Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner while researching a legal firm to represent me. I am happy to say that this firm lived up to their reputation. Stuart Kodish is an awesome attorney!!! He explained my case in a way that I could understand the legal process. He was quick to respond to e-mails and telephone calls - kept me well informed throughout of my case. My case was settled with favorable results, not surprised! I attribute my success to Stuart's professional experience & legal expertise. I want to thank Rachel O., paralegal with her professional services and pleasant interactions. It was a pleasure working with you as well. PS> I recommend Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner to anyone seeking excellent legal services. Mahalo! Derrick T.imgDerrick TokumotoOctober 5, 2024

I was hit by a car when walking, resulting in extensive injuries, including a concussion. Attorney Mike Cruise and his legal team, particularly Kelly Guadagno, came highly recommended. I was not disappointed. I was impressed by their systematic and meticulous approach. What I found most reassuring was their ability to negotiate with the providers and insurance companies to reach the best possible resolution for my benefit. I also appreciated their minimum intrusion on my time. They have my sincere thanks, and highest recommendation.imgJan H PrinsSeptember 20, 2024
I cannot say enough about Kris Watanabe. She is top-notch and absolutely amazing!!! For almost 4 years after the car accident and subsequent head injury she has guided me every step of the way towards my settlement. She patiently answered numerous questions, always took my calls, and replied to emails in a timely fashion. She deserves a humongous bonus! I highly recommend Leavitt Yamane and Soldner and Kris Watanabe!imgWehilani MullerAugust 29, 2024
