I was referred to Ethan from a friend, but I also had others that I was meeting with to see which one would be a good fit for me. The others focused more on what I need to do and how much it would cost me. When I met with Ethan, his first words were; Why do I need a trust and why do I want a trust? I was baffled and at the same time felt comfortable. Ethan listened to my concerns and made suggestions to my needs, not his. Ethan spent at an hour with me going over my options that were tailored to me and my wishes. When I left his office after my consultation, I felt relieved and I knew Okura & Associates had me. I did my research with others and I didn't get the same results that I got with Ethan. After a week of collecting my thoughts, Okura & Associates was my final choice to proceed with my trust. I've learned through this process go with my gut feeling and Ethan made me feel comfortable, safe, and secure with my decisions. I've been through a rough patch and Okura & Associates team has given me a sense of security and peace that my "trust" is in the right hands. I will be referring family and friends to Okura & Associates. Mahalo's to Anuhea for the talks we've had and all the documents you have provided for...
Read moreAfter trying several other estate attorneys with no lasting satisfaction, my mom and her late husband went to Sanford OKURA Esq. for estate planning help “back in the day”. They were very impressed with Mr Okura’s work on their estate. When her husband passed away, my mom went back to OKURA associates for additional estate planning help. My mom has utilized their help 2 or 3 times to date. In the Fall 2022, Melissa Summers-Day Esq. revised my mom’s trust, will and health care documents. We are extremely impressed with all the assistance and support by this law firm. Everyone has been super helpful and easy to communicate with. Fast forward to January 2023 and Ethan OKURA Esq as well as Melissa are working with our family on some additional legal issues which have arisen.

Read moreMy family and I were panicked about what to do with my uncle. I did not understand the Medicaid system and no one could explain to me what was going on and how to deal with it. I asked Victoria to take a look at the letters, emails and documentation and she immediately told me what the plan would be and how we could proceed. I had many sleepless nights trying to figure things out on my own and once Victoria and Chanelle took over, I was extremely relieved they were on my side. Once they were able to reestablish him into Medicaid, my family was so grateful because we knew there was no way we could have done any of this ourselves. We needed professionals who were experienced and could guide us through the process. Our faith was in Victoria and Chanelle and they were amazing. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs legal advice and support. We are eternally grateful for...
