Pesticide Exposure

The recent years have seen a dramatic increase in pesticide and weedkiller exposure in Hawai‘i. These chemicals can lead to birth defects and cancer. Exposure isn’t just limited to those who work with pesticides — people who live near agricultural sites can also suffer negative effects. We are proud to take on these giant corporations to help achieve justice on the behalf of Hawai‘i families.

Sex Abuse

With the advent of new laws, survivors of sex abuse can find justice and compensation with the help of our Hawai‘i sex abuse lawyers. These new laws in states like California and Hawai‘i allow adult survivors of child sex abuse to bring their abusers to justice. We consider it a privilege to fight for justice on behalf of these victims. For many, the effects of childhood sexual abuse can last well into adulthood.
