I'm so glad I hired this firm ! They got me money on items I never would have know to ask for. The entire staff, especially Kelly, have been wonderful ! Would highly recommend them !Laura SchroedelMarch 6, 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 !Janis 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.Brian 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!Dave 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.Eliza ROctober 28, 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.Jan 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!

Jamie is a rockstar! Instead of writing a review, I will share an email that I recently sent to LYS: Dear Jamie and John, I hope this message finds you both well. Now that a resolution has been reached, I want to send my deepest gratitude for the incredible support and expertise you have provided during the last two years. Jamie, since we had the most communication, please know that I am truly appreciative of the time and energy you invested in my case. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, your professionalism, guidance, and patience with all my questions were a real source of comfort during some challenging moments. Thank you for your great communication. Your email responses were very clear, straightforward, and very timely. Words of gratitude cannot capture how grateful I am for you, but please know I am truly, truly thankful for you Jamie, thank you, thank you. Thank you both for being more than just legal professionals – you have been a source of reassurance when I needed it the most. I am very fortunate to have worked with you. Please extend my gratitude to the entire LYS team for their collective efforts in bringing this case to a conclusion. I am truly thankful for you and I will always remember your kindness and expertise. I wish you both the very best. With Gratitude,Ricardo BarronApril 9, 2024
