I am admitted to practice law in California and Hawaii. The focus of my practice is defending civilians and servicemembers accused of a crime. However, I have a full service practice and you do not need to search any further for an attorney to represent you in any matter.

"I’ve had a wonderful experience at Hawaii Counseling and Wellness Center. My experience with everyone here has been nothing less than exceptional from the very first phone call to the office. I’m very thankful to have found such an amazing therapist to work with (Dr. Lu). She has created a safe and caring environment for me to work through some of the hardest times in my life and has given me incredible insights into my solutions, while gently but firmly guiding me through my decisions. Because of my positive experience I have referred many of my friends here."
