Hirota & Associates, LLLC Pro

With many attempts on my own for several years with numerous federal agencies on my legal status of US Citizenship I finally hit rock bottom and felt there was no hope. After researching for attorneys locally who had a positive rating in Honolulu. It came down to Hirota & Associates, LLC. WHAT A SPOT ON TEAM OF LAWYERS. What lost hope I had was found with their expert knowledge and thoroughness. I can't say in so many words how they have changed my life and family. I learned more about myself and my parents through their research. Thank GOD! If you are ever in doubt do not hesitate to call them. My situation was complex with a happy ending. My Sincerely Thanks to Maile and Stella for ever.

Thank you so much Hirota & Associates, LLC, they are so Professional, knowledgable, determined, reliable, responsive, organized and trustworthy. I would recommend Maile & Stella, they helped with us from the beginning until everything was complete.

Working with Maile Hirota and her team has been a real pleasure. Maile helped guide us through my wife's initial permanent resident card application/interview and her most recent renewal. I would recommend Maile Hirota because she was able to quickly resolve any problems that occurred through the process and promptly communicated with us through each step, Mahalo Maile.

I highly recommend Stella Shimamoto! She has helped my husband in his immigration case tremendously. I was a bit worried that due to the covid-19 regulations we had to do the consultation and build a case all via email, snail mail and by phone. Surprisingly enough, it worked out better than expected. After 6 YEARS of waiting for a response from USCIS we received an "Intent to Deny" letter in July for the sponsor application (I-864) I put in years ago. Of course me and my husband freaked out and scrambled throughout the internet in search for a good lawyer. What drew me to Stella was her empathy towards our situation and she expressed great interest in really helping us through this. She was very surprised about our long wait time for his green card approval and was diligent with her approach and its resolve. With the help from Stella, we received his green card approval last week. Really appreciate Stella and all her hard work!

She handled our case with full professional proficiency and conduct.

I reached out to Hirota and Associates in December 2015 after receiving a denial for my Green Card application (through marriage). I was distraught and terrified when I thought my family would be broken apart but Maile and the team immediately took on my case, working so hard to make sure that would not happen. This team of incredible women didn’t just help me resolve my case; they did it in under a year, for an excellent price and also with care, attention and compassion! Thank you!

Effective, efficient, timely, available, professional, great communicator in listening and speaking. Given my straightforward needs but convoluted situation, Maile was able to sort out the facts from all the distractions, and the work was done on time & on budget, no surprises. She kept me informed along the way, from preliminary instructions to USCIS decision, and is even available to this day for follow-up matters. I would highly recommend Maile.

I am a Canadian citizen with a small business on Maui. I hired Maile Hirota to help me prepare an E-2 visa application. The quality of the service I received was excellent at every stage during the process. To start with Ms. Hirota provided me with a detailed checklist of all the supporting material required for my application. As I worked on collecting the supporting material, Ms. Hirota was very helpful and responded quickly to all my questions.

When I realized that the paperwork for my new wife's green card application was way too much for us I called Maile Hirota. Maile was kind, professional, and got the job done. She answered all our questions in a way that we could understand and walked us through all the steps we had to take. I don't know how we could have done it without her. Maile promptly returned emails and telephone calls; which I greatly appreciated. She is DaKine :-) Best immigration lawyer you could ever find.

We tried another lawyer first and were unhappy with them. After research (and our own experience),we found Maile to be the best. She was very knowledgable and completely familiar with the entire process. Her staff was very friendly. She made us feel comfortable and not so nervous during the process by responding quickly and thoroughly to all our inquiries (both in and out of the office). She also has a good network of colleagues to refer to for issues that are outside her area of expertise
