This is the title of Mr. Coates’ now famous family law textbook.  This book, which publishes its 4th Edition in 2011 has sold thousands of copies and received rave reviews from clients and family law professionals alike.  Upon its release, it won the Hawaii Book Publisher’s Award of Merit for Best Guide and Reference Book.

Divorce with Decency is also the title for the firm’s divorce mediation clinic.  We have handled literally hundreds of divorce mediation cases ever since the mid-1980s and have successfully mediated more family law cases than virtually any other law firm in the State of Hawaii.  We currently have four formally trained and experienced mediators on staff.
