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.

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 law firm in 1973 to serve those injured by others and family members of those killed through the fault of others. They were joined by Bert S. Sakuda in 1979 and David L. Fairbanks in 1985. We now have 7 attorneys to serve you, so several lawyers can help with each case.
