John Roth helped my husband and I update our living trust since our original one had been done out of state. John was very helpful and knowledgeable about Hawaii law as it relates to Living Trusts. It took quite a while to get the final paperwork from the State, but John did his part quickly.

Having put off our Hawaii Estate Planning for years, we finally took the time to visit HTEC. John Roth not only gave excellent advice based on our situation and goals, but prepared the paperwork very quickly and explained everything in understandable terms. Krystal's efficiency and friendliness complements that professional office very well. Our experience with HTEC was overwhelmingly positive. There is no reason to put off your estate planning when there is such a nice resource right here in Waimea.

I was blessed with very pleasing and satisfactory results from Hawaii Trust & Estate counsel. The Professionalism was absolutely remarkable. All of my Estate planning needs were met, which included my Living Trust and Last Will and Testament. Gary

John and staff at Hawaii Trust & Estate Counsel recently helped us with estate planning. I was most impressed with John's professionalism, attention to detail, and the overall ease of the task at hand. Start to finish was a matter of a few weeks. I will definitely recommend Hawaii Trust & Estate Counsel.

Kristen is wonderful, she explained everything clearly and made it easy for me to understand. She is extremely knowledgeable and spends time answering questions. I am really happy with my experience working with her and would highly recommend her.

My husband and I needed to get a trust/will for our family but kept putting it off because we did not know an affordable and reputable lawyer. We happened to come across Kristen and the entire process was surprisingly stress-free. She makes things easy to understand and she's personable, knowledgable and professional. She literally walks you through each step that needs to be done. She allowed us to pay in small payments which really helped us out. We were just about ready to do Legal Zoom on-line but we're glad we didn't because with Kristen, your trust/will is personalized to your individual situation and needs. You work so hard to provide for you and your family; you can't afford to lose everything if something happens to you. The peace of mind that comes from having your affairs in order cannot be emphasized enough. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Don't wait, call Kristen!

Kristen is a wonderful attentive and honest lawyer. She responds promptly to requests. And offers her best advice in a professional and courteous way. She is very knowledgeable and I go to her first whenever I have a question regarding legal issues. You can count on Kristen and I highly recommend her for various legal services on Maui or California.

I found Kristen to be very professional and diligent in completing two challenging Real Estate issues for me. One involved a lost trust document which required securing a judges order and battling it out with Land Court. Escrow recommended three attorneys when this challenge first came up. My client said non of the three even returned his calls. I had heard great things about Kristen from one of my fellow realtors and recommend he give her a call. She promptly responded and stayed on this case through thick and thin. After this great experience I recommended her to another client who needed help in securing a hold harmless agreement once again she was right on it responding promptly to all requests for revisions. Totally satisfied client we are closing next week. In my business as a realtor being able to have quality people to recommend is vital. When a closing is on the line every day counts. I highly recommend her - five stars.

I used Kristen to do a couple different updates to my living trust. Her service was prompt and friendly, and her work was professional, complete and at a fair price. I would trust her to handle any of my further needs, and highly recommend her to do your legal estate work.

A friend referred us to Sterling & Tucker and to attorney Kanani Makaimoku. Our first meeting was via ZOOM. Kanani was very professional, patient, and understanding with us. Over weeks, our questions and concerns were answered quickly. We felt very confident and at ease knowing Kanani had our best interests at the forefront. I would refer anyone looking for estate planning to Sterling & Tucker.

Michelle Tucker has been my trust attorney for over 10 years. She has helped me through some family trust issues, and has amended my trust 3 times. She knows me as a client and person, and has given me good advice with quick responses to my questions. She has a calm demeanor -- and calmly looks at situations with fairness in mind. I highly recommend her to help you with your trust.

Kanani was very good in taking extra time to explain details of our will/trust. We learned a LOT from her. She has a personality that is comforting and made us feel secure. She does the presentation of the free seminar and you will learn a lot from it. The office is very clean (covid) and the support staff is very friendly.

Working with Kanani was a pleasure. She is very knowledgeable and helpful.

My wife and I just completed redoing our estate plan. What a huge difference between working with our past estate plan attorney in Honolulu and Michelle. If you want an estate plan that fits your needs and conveyed in a clear, orderly professional manner then contact Michelle. We left her office with a comfortable satisfied experience knowing she will be there when we need her. Mahalo Michelle. Cliff and Diana
