Roundup Weedkiller
Studies show Roundup weed killer, a popular herbicide used at home and commercially, can cause cancer. But many people in Hawai‘i were exposed to its toxic chemicals unknowingly. Its manufacturer, Monsanto, failed to warn the public of the risks of using their products. We are a leader in fighting for people injured by pesticides and herbicides.
Practice Area
Pesticide Exposure
We fight for Hawai’i families with injuries from pesticides and pesticide-related birth defects. Recently, exposure to pesticides has increased dramatically leading to increased rates of cancers and birth defects linked to these products’ toxic chemicals. We are proud to take on the giant corporations that make these chemicals to help achieve justice on the behalf of Hawai’i families.
Practice Area
Sex Abuse
Survivors of sexual abuse can find justice and compensation with the help of our Hawai`i sex abuse lawyers. New state laws across the country, including California and Hawai`i, now allow adult survivors of child sex abuse to seek justice and compensation. For all survivors of sexual abuse, the effects can last for years. We fight for justice on behalf of all victims who still suffer the tragic consequences of abuse.
