If i can leave no stars i definitely would! WORST legal aid i've ever encountered starting with the duo Jessica Uchida and Lori Anne Richards causing me the most grief I've ever encountered as a single mother when seeking a hand in my child custody case! Their lack of experience makes me wonder how are they even allowed to represent individuals seeking help. They don't reply , "lawyers" don't show up to court hearings. It seems like they play favoritism with people they personally know or are recommended from mutual people . Steer FAR AWAY from these people , unless you want to be in a worst situation from when you started your case. You're better off being Pro Se. THE MOST MEDIOCRE "LAWYERS" OF HAWAII
