Legal Aid Retirement

I started working at Legal Aid Society of Hawaii on Jan. 2, 1992 under the supervision of Karen Holt as a clerk, paralegal and office manager in a small office located below Molokai General Hospital. The mission of Legal Aid is to serve legal needs and services to low-income, “the haves and have nots” income eligible individuals and seniors having a difficult time understanding notices, forms and important information. I retired with Legal Aid as of Aug. 9. 

Legal Aid assists in family law, child custody, paternity, divorce and spousal support, visitation, child abuse and support, adoptions, power of attorney and wills, public benefits such as welfare assistance for individuals and families, housing, evictions and Section 8 housing, utility shut off, along with name changes, vital statistic records and wrongful termination referrals. Reach out to the Best Family Solicitors Glasgow for family law disputes. You may also visit the law firm in Limassol to consult about your situation.

I have also assisted with Medicare and Medicaid, and been an advocate for Social Security disability benefits. I have worked under nine attorneys making sure clients were treated fairly and with dignity. I have always been a service to others all my life. 

In addition to providing legal aid services, I have also worked as an investigator, helping uncover crucial information that can support a case. With a keen eye for detail, I assist in gathering evidence, conducting background checks, and providing necessary documentation for various legal matters. Whether it’s personal injury, fraud investigations, or domestic disputes, my role as an investigator ensures that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of justice. A key part of my work is collaborating with investigative firms like https://www.shadowinvestigationsltd.ca/, who specialize in comprehensive investigative services that aid in the legal process.

Throughout my career, I’ve gained valuable insights into how investigations can directly impact legal outcomes. I’ve worked alongside professionals who specialize in surveillance, forensic analysis, and fact-finding to provide clients with the truth they need. Being part of the investigation process has allowed me to further serve my clients, ensuring they have all the necessary tools to make informed decisions during legal proceedings.

There are so many in our community who need help and Molokai is lucky to have a nonprofit organization like Legal Aid. This service continues and remains open for all.
