Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks & Fairbanks is perhaps the most respected plaintiffs law firm in Hawaii. We handle major injury cases, choosing to devote our resources to those victims for whom we can make the greatest difference through our resources, hard work, reputation and strenuous advocacy.
PROVEN SUCCESSES
Our clients rely on the experience and knowledge of our distinguished lawyers to bring about favorable outcomes in their injury cases. We have maintained a long track record of success obtaining verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients who have been seriously injured or lost family members in fatal accidents. Many of our cases have been high-profile injury claims, garnering multimillion-dollar results.
OUR HISTORY
Paul F. Cronin, L. Richard Fried, Jr., and Gerald Y. Sekiya were partners in the trial department of a large Honolulu law firm when they left to form their own firm in 1973 to serve those injured or killed due to the negligence or fault of others. We thank the many superb lawyers from our firm who worked tirelessly for years advocating for the people of Hawaii and are now enjoying a well-deserved retirement.

OUR ESTEEMED LAWYERS
Our current senior lawyers, L. Richard Fried, Jr., and Bert Sakuda, have earned the prestigious AV rating reflective of the highest level of legal ability and professional standards as rated by Hawaii’s judges and lawyers. They are also recognized in The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers. Both have been included in Honolulu Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Hawaii – with sixteen prestigious Lawyer of the Year awards that are given to only one Hawaii lawyer annually in our practice areas.
