About Coates Frey Tanimoto & Gibson

At Coates Frey Tanimoto & Gibson, we take pride in the size, spirit and structure of our law firm. We are deliberately organized to be as responsive and user-friendly as possible. Our attorneys all have excellent academic backgrounds, but were also selected for their qualities as “people people.” You should find everyone in the firm easy to talk to.

We are located in Honolulu, and our law practice reflects the diversity and friendliness of Hawaii. Our lawyers care about you and are familiar with your unique concerns. Our goal is to provide the experience, skill and sensitivity needed to consistently achieve superior results at reasonable fees. Perhaps that is why we have successfully handled more than 20,000 satisfied clients over the years. We invite you to become one of them.

Family Law Akamai Fashion

Everyone from our lawyers to our clerical and paralegal staff functions in a “hands-on” or akamai fashion. Our firm’s legal assistants are generally up to speed on every case in the office. Many of our secretaries have formal paralegal training; others have five, 10 or more years of substantive, on-the-job experience with our firm (we pride ourselves on the permanence and longevity of our staff). The result is that someone on our staff should be able to help you when you need help. Unlike many firms where phone messages may linger for weeks, we always strive to return every phone call and answer the client’s questions the same day. We utilize the most modern technology — data and communications flow at optimum efficiency.
