Akiona Law, PLLC

This law firm was recommended to me and I was very pleased with the timely response. I felt that Lani was very caring about me and my case. This is a divorce after 51 years of marriage so of course it’s tough. I was not hesitant in hiring this firm. I feel my questions were answered shut the fullest. And I believe that suggestions were made for me in my best interest. I think this firm very much for its assistance and being so professional.

Was looking for a lawyer for my custody case. I read some good reviews on this place and was very optimistic. I sent all the paperwork that I had over to the office almost 2 weeks before my consult was scheduled. Finally the day comes to do the consult and she hadn’t even bothered to read the paperwork I sent over before hand. So the first several minutes of my consultation was spent with her just skimming over the documents I sent. After that when I tried to explain the situation to her, she was very rude and condescending. When I would say some thing about some thing in the court order, she would argue with me and say no it doesn’t say that. I would say yes it does, I have read this court order at least 50 times, and then I would have to spend another minute waiting for her to skim through it and read it over again and say oh I guess you’re right it does say that. Mind you, I was paying $200 for a 30 minute consult and she spent at least a third of that time reading this paperwork and arguing with me about what it said. How do you get off arguing with me about what a court order that you haven’t even read says?? Anyways at one point she literally told me that I need to lose the attitude against my ex because it’s not going to help me. Obviously I’m not going to walk in a quart room and have attitude with the judge but I should be able to express my feelings to my lawyer hey, at least I thought so. It seemed to me that she felt because she was older than me, she could scold me like she was my mother. She literally said “I’m gonna sound like your mother for a minute”. She constantly interrupted me and argued with me the whole time, and repeatedly told me that basically she did not believe what I was telling her and there HAD to be another explanation for why certain things happened in my case. I was very clear from the beginning that my ex is a literal sociopath and the GAL was extremely biased and I got massively screwed over. If things had been done correctly and fairly the first time, I wouldn’t have been here looking for a lawyer now! Anyways, this was by far the most unprofessional consultation I have ever had and the biggest waste of $200 I’ve ever spent. At the very least, she should have actually taken a few minutes to read the court orders I sent over before our consultation, considering she had almost 2 weeks to do so. Extremely unhappy and would not recommend, unless you want to spend $200 for 30 minutes of someone arguing with you and treating you like a child.

Thank you for the most excellent advice about my custody questions. I was a really triggered mama, and you gave me honest and clear-headed advice. I knew you were right, I went straight home and encouraged my daughter as you advised. We made a plan, I gave her some tools and we are doing exactly what we have to do. Thanks for helping push me out of emotion into clear-headed action. I'm really grateful for your counsel. When I tried to look it up online, it got really confusing, really quickly. I didn't get answers, I just got lost. Thank you for being so helpful and efficient! You got me all sorted out with! 😃I would 💯 recommend Akiona Law to any friend needing a child custody lawyer.

When I started the daunting task of finding a lawyer it stressed me out. I searched "divorce lawyers for men" because as a father, I felt like courts favored the mother. I was clueless and wanted someone to fight for me. After reading through twenty different law offices websites, that were all great, I saw that Akiona Laws' website focused on divorce. I needed to understand what my rights were as a father so the website helped me choose them. On the phone, Kyler (Paralegal) was upfront and clear with what I should expect. It was a good start to the process. My meeting with Attorney Jenni Ching was very professional and thorough. I needed a lawyer to look through my case, as I had no paper work from my ex-wife, to tell me what my rights were as a father and what I was responsible for moving forward. Jenni provided me with the documents of my case so that I could actually read the conclusions to understand what she was explaining. I am so happy and greatful I chose Akiona law. They gave me peace of mind about my position as a father and I will return to Jenni to represent me if I need it in the future. In addition, Kyler was expeditious and warm. I'm writing a lengthier review because I believe good people and good service deserve recognition. I am not a high paying client and I felt the people at this law firm were trustworthy and left me feeling like the expense was fair.
