Attorney Kendal Luke, was the best choice I could have ever made. I highly recommend him. Kendal was exactly the person I was hoping to find when I was looking for an attorney for my divorce case. He genuinely wants to help. Throughout the entire process, he was attentive, kept me well informed, was always quick to return my emails and respond to my questions or concerns. Doi & Luke Attorneys at Law's services was worth every penny and more.

This layer is a people's lawyer, he has integrity, great listener and empathy for his client and he understand the problems at stake. He explains the law and gives options to get what you want to resolve the issues. I had a divorce case and Mr Kendal was able to put the necessary documents together to make sure my side was understood by the court. Hardworking for you is his strength!!

When it rains, it pours, and it was “storming” in my life when I called Doi & Luke Island Lawyers. I was seeking a female attorney by referral but found that she no longer worked there. Emily, who received my call, warmly suggested that I speak with Kendal Luke, who patiently listened as I explained my situation and showed real concern. It wasn’t until I shopped around and spoke with more than a half a dozen other attorneys, that I realized how fortunate I was to have found Kendal Luke on my first attempt. Every other attorney I spoke with after him I found to be abrupt, condescending and wary of answering too many questions during that first complimentary call. Kendal Luke, on the other hand, treated me more like a friend rather than a number, and was open to discussing any question I had. I felt at ease with him. He certainly stood out like a gem among the rocks. So, when it was time for me to hire an attorney, he was my obvious choice. But would he be a good attorney? Time would tell. Throughout the proceedings, which took more than a year, there were many highs and lows and even times of frustration, such as that which occurs even between the best of friends. Yet, through it all, Kendal Luke and his staff stuck by me and always treated me with value and respect. He never pressured me to compromise on my values, even when I began to waver. I also appreciated that he didn’t nickel-and-dime me, as is so common with attorneys, but was always reasonable when accounting his fees. Most importantly, during the critical moments of the case, it would be his capacity for compassion that was key to representing me well. This is what drew me to selecting him, and I really feel that I couldn’t have selected a better attorney. Now that my case has finally come to a close, I look back and am so thankful for having the team of Doi & Luke on my side. Kendal Luke and his staff often went above and beyond in various ways, so that I always felt as though I was among friends. “Island Lawyers” is a fitting name for this firm as they truly reflect the down-to-earth warmth that characterizes our islands. Mahalo nui loa, Kendal Luke and Team! I will be forever grateful.

Kendal Luke, what can we say... It's been about 15 years since we last spoke or saw him.. And today.. My wife sought him out again, for a friend this time... He remembered us!!! My wife was so excited sharing that she talked with Kendal and him being as welcoming as the first time we met. Kendal was definitely the light at the end of our tunnel. It was 15 years ago, Kendal helped us with gaining full custody of our son, my wife is his stepmom. Just to share a bit on our case, it was a custody request for joint, though my son's mother refused. My son was already living with my wife and I, and has always lived with me since he was born, with the exception of one year of his life, due to his mom getting married and divorced all in that same year. When my son was 14 years old, we sought out Kendal Luke by a referral. We presented our case and Kendal said to us "ok guys, this is gonna get ugly...real ugly. And before it gets better it's gonna get worse." We knew right then, this is our guy!! Kendal was a straight shooter, obviously he was honest, because we already knew things were ugly... In the end we got full custody of my son. And the myth of the children or child will always end up with the mother... That was out of my head forever!! The judge granted me, the father, full custody! I thank Kendal for fighting fair, always believing that we had a chance, always keeping us in the loop, and making us a friend. Kendal always kept matters in our case appropriate for my son, never ever made it one sided, although we could've, though he didn't. Kendal made sure paperwork was filed in a timely manner, court orders served in a timely manner, hearings and trial was appropriately timed. We made an Attorney Friend for Life!! Anytime we have family and or friends that have similar situations like ours.. Kendal Luke is definitely our referral. Thanks again Kendal!!
