MAUI & HAWAIʻI COUNTY WILDFIRE FRAUD ALERT

In this time of tragedy, many victims and family are going to need legal help with the loss of life and property destruction suffered in the recent wildfires. Watch out for and report potential legal fraud. ​Fast-moving disasters tempt opportunistic actors to prey on people when they are most vulnerable.

You may be contacted by attorneys who want to represent you; but please make sure that any lawyer you hire is a qualified Hawaiʻi licensed attorney. You can verify this by contacting the Hawaiʻi State Bar Association (HSBA) to confirm any lawyer’s license status, or by doing a lawyer search on the HSBA website (www.hsba.org).

Only “active” Hawaiʻi lawyers may practice law in Hawaiʻi. Also, no lawyer should be contacting you directly to solicit business from you. You can get additional information on what is required of lawyers when you hire them from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
