Barry dealt with my case in an extremely professional manner. He is polite but more importantly very personable. I was comfortable when talking to him about my situation because I knew he was listening, and actually hearing me. He treated me like his equal. He explained each step of the process and took each step with me. And bottom line..he believed me. I highly recommend him to any one who wants a lawyer that actually listens to you and believes what you are saying. The truth and Barry's expertise has cleared my name!

Not being a resident of Hawaii and needing legal counsel it was Barry Sooalo that we decided to hire. Mr. Sooalo and his firm were knowledgeable, professional and at the same time showed compassion. Mr. Sooalo and his team responded promptly to all correspondence whether it was via text, email or phone anytime of day. His years of experience as a criminal defense attorney did not go unnoticed. He defended and fought effectively throughout court hearings. No one foresees needing a criminal defense attorney but if you find yourself in a situation like ours we would highly recommend Barry Sooalo from start to finish. The outcome was in our favor and highly satisfied. After legal proceedings were completed, Mr. Sooalo took the time to check in and make sure our family was okay. He went above and beyond for our family, and for that we are eternally grateful!

I would like to acknowledge His ability to Ease my worries and encourage me to remain Positive and Make sure " I am taking care of myself" , as Legal troubles are never a situation one thinks they may find themselves in. These unchartered waters for myself were made Manageable and Peaceful Soley because Mr. Sooala and his Due Dilligence.

I got caught trespassing with some special circumstances. Barry did a phenomenal job handling my case. He walked me through the case and what to expect (his local knowledge of the nuances of Hawaii law was very impressive) given that I was from out of state. He negotiated hard and got me a good deal while being very communicative throughout the entire process. This was essential given how far away I was. After resolving the case, he went above and beyond and helped me make payment on time when I had accidentally put it off until last minute and couldn't go to the court (out of state)

Hired Barry as my attorney and I am more than satisfied with his work. He is very professional and has great knowledge of the Hawaii laws. Got to see him in action during my trial which I was acquitted ! I highly recommend him

Went through every scenario to ensure a fair and speedy trial. Questioned every procedure to make sure my rights weren't violated. Because I wasn't informed of my rights was able to plead to lesser charge and eventually have charges dropped!

I got arrested because I was driving recklessly. Police found drugs and paraphanilia in my car. I had 5 charges against me, two of which were felonies. I was facing 5 years in prison. Thanks to Barry making a plea deal, the only thing I was convinced of was a DUI, no time in jail. I would 100% recommend Barry to anyone dealing with legal issues. He's an excellent lawyer. He really knows what he's doing. And he's also a really good person.

I got a DUI last year and found that Barry sooalo was the attorney i wanted to represent me because his experience with dealing with similar cases like mine and the reviews that I ve looked at I didn't hesitate to call and hire him. One year later my case was dismissed and now I'm able to work again being that I am a commercial driver I'm thankful for Barry's help and I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I'd highly recommend him to represent anyone who has a DUI.

Barry was able to get my DUI charge dismissed in court, very difficult case but he never let up on the objectives we agreed upon. I would definitely refer a Barry for anyone dealing with a DUI case.

From the start, Mr. sooalo was very personable yet to the point. I had so many questions about my case that he could tell I was overwhelmed. Once he saw that I was at ease, he broke down the case and explained it to me in layman’s terms so that i could better understand the situation that I was facing. I’m still unsure of the outcome but at least I can sleep easier knowing that BARRY is helping me fight my case.
