I could not be more pleased with the team we had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish; the communication was great! Always very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. Everyone always took time to explain things in a way that we could understand. Even after moving away from Hawaii, everyone was very accommodating in working with time difference, and keeping an open line of communication. The extensive research done to gather background information on our particular case also helped me learn more about everything that had gone on. That alone helped me feel more at ease with questions doctors couldn’t give me answers to. We are very happy with the outcome of our case, and couldn’t have done it without them. A heartfelt Mahalo to John, Geoff, Tricia, Rick, Tom and the rest of the team at Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In 2004, I was involved in a major motorcycle accident. While I was in the trauma unit at Queen's on Oahu. I was introduced to Attorneys Richard Fried, Gregory Lue-Kwan and later to Bert Sakuda. My first meeting they discussed How they would make sure I was treated fairly, both mentally and physically throughout the litigation/court proceedings. Throughout these long proceedings they were there making sure all issues where being presented and covered. I felt, like I was there only client. I highly recommend that if you are in need of legal help. There are none better the law firm of Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks. Thank you, William Fortini Jr.

My family engaged Cronin Fried based on the firm's exceptional reputation in medical malpractice litigation to represent us in a very unfortunate matter. We were not let down. We were especially impressed by the skill, diligence and sensitivity of our attorneys, John Thomas and Geoff Komeya, and their in-house medical investigator, Tom Duddy. Although no compensation will ever make up for the loss we suffered, their efforts produced an outcome that exceeded our expectations and also brought us an important measure of closure and vindication.

A few years back i was the victim of a careless driver running a red light. My car was totaled and i sustained major injuries that required surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation. My insurance company gave me a take it or leave offer of half of my car's value despite having submitted documentation to the contrary. I needed transportation so i had to accept their offer. Going forward, i was fortunate that my long time beach volleyball friend Wayne Kekina was a partner at the Cronin, Fried firm. My first call from the hospital was to him. Wayne has since retired but he turned my case over to Bert Sakuda. From the first day i walked into the office on crutches to the last when i walked out with a check in my hand, i was made to feel like i was a part of their family by everyone i came in contact with. Over the period it took to settle my case i was amazed at the time and effort that was expended on my behalf. With some patience and the confidence that i was in great hands, i sat back as Bert went toe to toe with the insurance company. He was able to secure more than 5 times the amount of their initial low ball offer. Needless to say, i would highly recommend the Cronin, Fried firm to anyone that might require their expertise.

I am beyond pleased and grateful for the superb professional service and excellent result I received after entrusting my personal injury matter to Bert Sakuda and his team. His legal expertise, knowledge and skills in evaluating liability and damages as well as his skillful negotiating ability with insurance carriers make him the best in the legal profession.

Words can't express our gratitude for the level of professional (and personal) care we received from our attorney Bert Sakuda and his vastly knowledgeable legal assistant Tricia Etsler to legally advocate for my case of being a pedestrian hit in a crosswalk. Highly recommended by a former judge, Bert put our concerns increasingly at ease from the first meeting by his calm demeanor and extensive knowledge about my kind of trauma. After that first meeting, my wife simply said, "He knows what he's talking about" as she had years of managing cases for returning combat soldiers wounded in the Middle East. Throughout the duration of the case, they were a source of reassurance with frequent communication in conference, emails, or phone calls. We felt encouraged whenever we talked on the phone. From the start, my wife and I often felt the genuine care and empathy of the law firm went further than mere professionalism. Referring to previous clients' experiences, Bert helped me understand and accept my amnesia regarding how the accident happened, that I might never be able to make sense of the accident. Simply put, our experience has been thankfully great-NOT that we'd wish for trauma on anyone to have that kind of legal care. Mahalo ke Akua for Bert and Tricia. Jimmy C

Following a serious accident while vacationing in Kauai, my family and I engaged the law firm of Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina, and Fairbanks. What a great choice! Because of their extensive experience with personal injury settlements, they were able to guide our family through difficult times, carefully explaining each step. We knew we were in good hands. I highly recommend them. Thank you Rick, Bert, and Tricia.

Our family's experience with Bert, Tricia, Rick and the entire firm was unparalleled. When our family member required representation, we were fortunate enough to receive them as a recommendation. Over the course of our time working with this law firm, we experienced consistent and clear communication, as they took time to explain the legal process and where we stood. Whenever we reached out to them with questions, responses were timely and thorough. Bert, Tricia and Rick made a point to build a relationship with our family, getting to know not only each person, but the distinct personalities involved. We were ushered through a difficult and complex time with confidence. Without hesitation, my family and I recommend Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks.
