Handling Criminal Defense and Family Law Cases in Hawaii

Are you in need of a Honolulu criminal, personal injury, or divorce attorney? My family law firm can help you.

Family law and criminal defense issues share a few of the same effects: both keep you awake at night worried about the future, both make you an emotional wreck, both can turn your life upside down, and both require aggressive yet compassionate legal representation. When your children or assets are on the line or when you have been charged with a serious violent crime or sex crime, now is not the time to try and navigate through the complexities of the legal system alone. Your rights need to be protected!

    Steve Cedillos Esq was experienced, professional, helpful, and knew what to expect in the courtroom, so I was able to stay calm and prepare after the free consultation. I highly recommend Steve for your traffic offenses.
    Rexford S.
    "Would I hire him again? Absolutely."
    I hired Steve for a child custody case in 2021. I see all the reviews that say he is "mean" or "rude" - I would say that he is just blunt and straightforward. He isn't going to get your hopes up just to preserve your feelings. Great guy. he is willing to answer your questions before you even hire him and you can bet that he's honest. Do I think that a 5k retainer was a lot for my case? Yes, but it IS Hawaii and I did hire him 2 months before my actual trial date after going pro-se for a while. Would I hire him again? Absolutely.
    Mica T.
    "Steve provided me with a potentially painless solution"
    With a ten minute conversation Steve provided me with a potentially painless solution and more importantly - Hope.
    Pete M.

    Steve Cedillos is definitely worth it. He’s very straightforward and gets the job done! Helped me get a TRO I probably wouldn’t have been able to do alone. Navigating the justice system isn’t easy, but his help made it so much easier along with a great outcome!! Thankful and grateful I came across him on Google. He was very responsive anytime I needed to reach him. Highly recommended.
