Testimonials
Highly recommended! My wife was hit by a car on her moped and hospital bills were very stressful. We didn’t know what to do. I personally have no idea how insurance and hospitals work. Debra took all the stress away and thanks to her and her team, we are very happy.
And don’t take this the wrong way, but I hope I will never have to see her again. Lol
But if another accident does happen, I know who I’m calling.

I’m beyond satisfied with my experience with Leavitt, Yamane and Soldner. I am so grateful for having John Yamane & Jamie Grimm as my team. Wonderful service, very attentive towards getting me feeling better. John & Jamie both did an excellent job assisting me after unfortunate events. Walked me through the process, kept in contact with me and treated me as if I was part of their ohana. Big Mahalo to John Yamane & Jamie Grimm from LY&S.

Stuart Kodish, Rachel and the team from LYS recently represented me in settling a personal injury case. Stuart’s knowledge in dealing with insurance companies and his professionalism during the entire process was outstanding! I highly recommend that you seek out Attorney Stuart Kodish and his team to represent you should you ever need legal support in any personal injury case. Thank you Stuart & team for a job well done!

We had some legal questions regarding an incident I had and Judy came to our rescue! She took time out of her busy day to help guide us and explain how medical malpractice works. Although we chose not to take any legal action She still took the time to give us some options on how to move forward and we can’t say how heartwarming and pleasant our experience with Leavitt, Yemane, and Soldner was and it’s all thanks to you Judy! I hope I never need to take any legal action, but I’d definitely work with these lawyers if I did!
We owe you Judy! Mahalo!

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’m sure 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 ❤️

Giving a big shout-out to paralegal Debra Ota at Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner for promptly returning my calls, answering all of my questions & keeping me informed with details & updates to my case. The care & support of the LY&S staff has been consistently high from my first meeting with Mr. Leavitt until my case was recently closed. Strongly recommend this firm to anyone needing legal representation with personal injury matters. They truly care.

Woody and his team at LYS helped us immensely! My husband was in a car accident and they helped us navigate through, in a very vulnerable time. We could focus on taking care of my husbands healing while being at ease that they were diligently working on his behalf. They kept us updated and answered our questions quick and efficiently. Mahalo!

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.

Mahalo to the entire staff at LYS! Stuart and his team went above and beyond to provide exceptional service, even after my family and I relocated to another state in the middle of my case. Stuart was always looking out for my best interest, was available when I had any questions or concerns and never hesitated to do what was necessary to obtain the best outcome for my case. Appreciated Stuart's professionalism and transparency. Thank you for all your hard work! I am definitely a satisfied customer and would recommend LYS to my family and friends!
Mahalo,

I would have to say that my experience with Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner was far beyond what I expected. They did all the work which left us stress free. They finished everything in less than 6 months of taking the case. The communication was excellent and we made new friends for a lifetime. I would recommend this firm to anyone that needs help with an accident claim. Thank you Mr. Yamane and everyone who helped with the processing of our claim. Love you Brenda. Happy Holidays and Aloha.

James Leavitt and his associates helped my brother's MVA case, which took a little over two years to complete. They never hesitated to take on my brother's MVA case. He suffered from a fractured tibia and a minor fracture on his skull. They never gave up on my brother's case despite of COVID-19 pandemic. Without Mr. Leavitt, Debra, and a couple of other Staff that assisted with the legal matter of his case, it would not have been possible for him to recover quickly from his injuries from the traumatic vehicle accident. Debra was a very helpful, caring, and amazing associate from start to finish. She was the bridge from us to Mr. Leavitt. They did everything, I meant everything for us, from taking care of medical bills to a legal matter. All we had to do was provide all documents needed for the case and sign documents. Without this AMAZING Legal Team from LYS, my brother wouldn't be successful today. LYS has delivered an outstanding performance that resulted in successful resolution to my brother's MVA Case. Thank you!

I cannot express how much we appreciated them. My mom finally got the medical help she needed. They really listened, took the time to figure out what was going on, and was super patient. They far exceeded what we thought was possible. The whole team, every single person that helped was thoughtful, kind, patient, understanding and always made us feel supportive and cared for. A special thank you to Stuart for taking great care of us and always got the job done. Thank you for everything!

Ms. Debra Ota & Mr. Leavitt handled my case with one thing in mind. Getting me the compensation that was fair and deserving of my injuries. Debra Ota has especially been there for me from the very beginning. I’ve shared so much of my lowest personal moments with her after my injury and she has also been so supportive with my struggles with my employment status and family crisis. With the “manini” amount that was initially offered they were able to fight for me and settle my case for a larger amount than I would have ever expected! I would recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
