Square One Legal – Honolulu, HI

A Fresh Financial Start in Honolulu

Square One Legal is a premier bankruptcy and debt relief law firm located in the heart of downtown Honolulu. Founded by attorney Ofir Raviv, the firm operates on a philosophy of empathy and practical solutions. Unlike many firms that treat clients as case numbers, Square One Legal understands the emotional weight of financial distress. Mr. Raviv, who brings a unique background having served in the Israeli Defense Force before becoming a prominent Hawaii attorney, applies a disciplined yet compassionate approach to helping locals navigate the complex U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The firm’s name reflects its core mission: helping good people get back to square one and rebuild their financial lives with dignity.

Specialized Debt Relief Services

The firm concentrates exclusively on helping consumers find freedom from debt. Their expertise covers:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often called ‘liquidation’ bankruptcy, this process helps individuals wipe out unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills, offering a quick path to a fresh start.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A reorganization plan designed for homeowners facing foreclosure or individuals with regular income who want to repay a portion of their debts over time to keep their assets.
• Foreclosure Defense: Fighting to save family homes from auction by negotiating with lenders and using the automatic stay provided by bankruptcy filing.
• Debt Settlement: Negotiating directly with creditors to reduce the total amount owed for clients who may not want to or need to file for bankruptcy.

American Savings Bank Tower Location

Square One Legal is headquartered at 1001 Bishop St, Suite 2850, within the American Savings Bank Tower. This 30-story skyscraper is a key component of the Bishop Square complex, the epicenter of Honolulu’s business district. The tower is easily recognized by its ribbed concrete exterior with engraved designs that pay homage to Hawaiian culture. The office is situated on the 28th floor, offering clients discretion and professional comfort.

Visiting the firm is convenient for anyone on Oahu. The Bishop Square complex features the beautiful Tamarind Park, a popular gathering spot for lunch and events. The location is a major hub for TheBus, with stops directly on Bishop Street and King Street, making it accessible from all parts of the island without a car.
