Areas of Practice

Appeals

Lose or win at trial, a case is not over until the appeal process is over. Drafting powerful and persuasive briefs is our specialty. If you need a skilled and careful attorney to review your case with fresh eyes for an appeal, we can help protect your win or give you another chance to prevail at trial.

We have represented clients on appeal in complex and lengthy divorces, wrongful death cases, qualified immunity appeals, employment discrimination, land disputes, and class action lawsuits. Mr. Caballero is also one of the co-authors of the appeals section in the latest edition of the Hawaiʻi State Bar Association’s Divorce Manual.

Civil Rights and Liberties

Civil rights and liberties are at the heart of who we are as a self-governing people. They give meaning to the fundamental promise that the government will respect everyone’s unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, equally. For too many, this is an unfulfilled promise.

Whether you have been discriminated against, falsely arrested, or denied due process, we take pride in holding the government accountable and helping our clients vindicate their rights inside and outside of courtroom.

Employment Law

Workers in Hawaiʻi have the hard-fought right to a safe and healthful workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. As an employee, you also have the right to organize, be paid in full, and receive various benefits under federal and state law.

We represent working professionals with contract disputes and negotiations as well as difficult work-related situations, including people being investigated for misconduct or at risk of losing their professional licenses and livelihoods.

Social Enterprises, Startups, and Nonprofits

The law and the legal system do not need to be barriers to getting started the right way. Whether you need help with registration, annual filings, a contract, or any general legal services, we offer solutions that are customized to what you and your organization needs.

We act as outside general counsel for non-profits and small businesses, including medical practices, service providers for people experiencing homelessness, and start-ups.
