Reviews
Joy is an excellent and compassionate attorney who knows the law inside and out. She helped me navigate a financially complex divorce from a pathological liar and emotionally abusive cheater in just eight months. Before hiring Joy, I interviewed several other attorneys and all painted a grim picture for me. Joy took the time to understand my situation, develop a game plan, and execute it. I got a very favorable settlement that saved our family home and meant the world to my adult sons. Joy is absolutely the best and I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you!
As a mother watching my daughter go through a painful and complicated divorce, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Joy Yanagida. From the very beginning, Joy was steady, compassionate, and incredibly competent. She not only provided my daughter with strong legal guidance but also offered emotional support during a time when everything felt uncertain. Knowing that Joy was advocating for her gave our entire family peace of mind. She treated my daughter with respect, listened carefully, and always had her and the kids' best interests in mind. I highly recommend Joy to any family going through a difficult situation—she truly makes a difference.
I am blessed to have had Joy as my lawyer. I have never met anyone with that level of attention to detail and organization. I had to step up my game to keep up. I learned things I never knew I needed to know. We worked long hours to exhaustion. She had me call in video meeting to follow along every step of the way. She fights hard for you. I am a military veteran and to my brothers and sisters I can say emphatically Joy got your 6.
We are deeply grateful for Joy Yanagida and her incredible team, who guided us through one of the most challenging times in our lives with unwavering expertise and compassion. Beyond her exceptional legal acumen, what stood out most was how she and her staff treated us—with kindness, respect, and a commitment to ensuring we understood every step of the process. Her confidence, skill, and thorough approach immediately put us at ease. Joy is a sharp, no-nonsense advocate who leaves no stone unturned, ensuring every detail is addressed and every base is covered. When we reached out to firms across Oahu and Maui, many turned us away due to the complexity of our case, but Joy was undeterred. She operates at a remarkable pace, wasting no time and always staying several steps ahead, and if you’re fortunate enough to have her in your corner, you can trust you’re in the best hands. We cannot recommend Yanagida and Associates highly enough and remain profoundly thankful for the professionalism and dedication that carried us through.
I cannot say enough good things about Joy Yanagida and her staff. She is a no-nonsense, honest, advocate, and guided me through the most difficult time in my life, while protecting my children's rights and well-beings. What should have been a quick process got unnecessarily dragged out by the other side, but Joy was at every meeting, hearing, and kept in touch even after we moved out of state. She was truly invested in giving my family peace and I will always sing her praises.
