About

   I was born in Honolulu and then moved back to Hawaii after college and attended law school here. I left my position at a large, corporate law firm because I wanted to practice law on a more personal level and use my skills to help people resolve their legal problems.    When you hire me, you will be hiring a lawyer who is accessible, responsive, and dedicated to providing excellent client service. I will take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. I will explain the legal process and issues to you in plain English and provide a straightforward and honest assessment of your case.    When am not in the office, I am usually spending time with my husband and my two boys. We love to hike the mountain trails around the island, especially any hike that ends at a place to swim! We enjoy cooking dinner and watching movies together. I like to relax by working in my vegetable garden or reading a good novel.

Dominique was so helpful for me during a very long and emotionally difficult legal battle with my ex. I initially retained her in 2014 for a TRO case against my ex, which then led to over a year long legal battle regarding property we co-owned. Dominique was very knowledgable, caring, and understanding. She always had my best interest in mind and consistently communicated with me throughout the entirety of my case. When needed, Dominique thoroughly explained things to me regarding my case and advised me on my options without ever making me feel as if I "had to settle" for unfavorable terms proposed by my ex. She always suggested settlement options that were in my best interest and favorable for my case. My case finally wrapped up toward the end of 2015 and looking back, I can truly say I couldn't have done it without Dominique. She played such a significant role throughout my entire legal battle and she really helped me feel supported throughout the entire process. In the end, Dominique helped me see that settling my case was not a "loss" but however, a "win" toward closure and freedom to move forward in life without continued emotional and financial stress related to my case. I highly recommend Dominique for any divorce/separation/family court related case!

She was very thorough during the free consult and seemed to really care about our situation. We went to court for a TRO that was placed and she helped us out with that. She is currently helping us on a custody issue, and so far has been great! Sometimes we don't get a reply right away, which is understandable since we are not her only clients, but she does reply within a reasonable amount of time. Does not over charge and works with the fact we never hired a lawyer before and is very understandable. We believe she is fighting for us!

Dominique is a really great lawyer. I am going through a really ugly stressful divorce. She has been very compassionate and honest. She takes the time to talk to me and explain everything thoroughly. I fell really blessed that I have her as my attorney.

I contacted Dominique after being served with a TRO. The allegations were at the least, very exaggerated. Dominique and I talked over the situation and I decided to retain her. It proved to be a wise choice. Just a few weeks later my TRO was dismissed with prejudice.

Ms. Tansley helped me tremendously with my case. She focused on what's important on the case and did not take advantage of the time. She is honest and genuinely care about my situation. She made me feel important and comfortable during the whole process. Because of her care about my situation, years of experience, expertise, and professionalism, I definitely have the judge ruling on my side. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a smart, honest, caring and dependable lawyer, Thank you Ms. Tansley!

Ms. Tansley has been absolutely wonderful through my custody battle. She keeps it real when I get a little bit hot headed or if I have expectations that are unrealistic. I have had her as my lawyer since June 2016 and I do not regret my decision for one second. She has been incredibly flexible this entire process and answers all questions that I have. Thank you for everything and more to come!

Dominique Tansley has been a blessing to my somewhat complicated case. Even before she was hired on she gave me sound advise in my attempt to move my custody case forward. Dealing with a High conflict divorce is always stressful but her honsety and willingness to take on my case was refreshing. Dominique took over where my previously lawyer left off . She ensured I understood what was happening step by step. And gave me the ability to focus on my son. When it came time for court she was prepared and I could not have asked for a better outcome. While we are still fighting this battle I have every confidence that she is working toward the best interest of my family. While going through a divorce with children involved is very difficult it can become unbearable without sound representation. I definitely recommend Mrs. Tansley and for her future clients I would say trust the process.

I don't know where to begin to adequately express my appreciation for Dominiques compassionate and professional service. She is honest, trustworthy and dependable, and very fkexible with her time and billing practices. I couldnt be more pleased with how she's guided and supported me through this transitional phase of my life.

Dominique has been a very great source of support during this very difficult time. I have so many issues with my husband (hopefully ex very soon) from personal to financial and she has been very supportive and helpful. I work late at times and her willingness to take my calls in the evening has been very reassuring. I even vent to her at times regarding my frustrations and even if she is unable to really do anything about the situation, she always listened and provided advise when she could. I am glad to have her on my side, and just awaiting the day when I invite her to my divorce party.
