About

I was Kauai's elected Prosecuting Attorney from 2004-2008.  After working in the Kauai Prosecutor's Office for a total of 12 years, I began my own private practice on Kauai in 2008.  In 2014 I joined forces with Daniel Hempey to form De Costa Hempey Meyers LLC, which is now De Costa Hempey Attorneys at Law LLC.  Our law firm handles Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, Criminal Defense and Appeals of Civil, Ciminal and Administrative decisions and judgments.

Responded to my questions almost immediately. Its was shortly after putting in my inquiry the same day. I was impressed at how quickly he responded. Although he could not represent me, he gave me other options on who could. Thank you.

One of the nicest guys you will ever met and extremely smart, balanced with a sense of justice and fairness. There is no one else I would recommend for any issues you may have on this island or elsewhere. Craig is fair and methodical and takes a no nonsense approach and will defend you in the best possible manner and get results. Remember, he was the former prosecutor and brings to the table that working knowledge of the office and relationships within the prosecutors office. Go see him is you have any issues. You won't be disappointed.

We use Mr. De Costa exclusively. We find him to be knowledgeable, professional and personable. Our staff find that it is a pleasure to work with him. I find him to be one of the most respected attorneys here on the island. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone.

Craig De Costa is an excellent lawyer. He was always there to talk and explain anything to me and always made me feel like he cared. Without Craig's help I don't know if I would of got out of my charges and he always showed the upmost professionalism and intelligence when representing me. If you're thinking about hiring a lawyer I fully recommend calling Mr. De Costa, you will not be disappointed. I can't express the respect and gratitude I have for this man and his work.

We live in the mainland and there were some unfortunate issues with our daughter who was in Kauai,HI.After her return back to the mainland we contacted Attorney De Costa because there we unfinished issues that had to be addressed.We retained him to help us resolve issues and he was very caring and did not take advantage of us in any way and his fee was very fair .Mr. De Costa was in contact with us very often and was able to resolve the issues even though we were many miles apart. We would Highly Recommend Mr.De Costa to anyone and we can't thank him enough!
