Premier Family Law Litigation in Honolulu
Divorce and family disputes are complex legal matters that require a steady hand and deep experience. Kleintop & Luria LLP is widely recognized as one of Hawaii’s premier family law firms, handling the most challenging and high-stakes cases in the state. Led by partners Charles T. Kleintop and Timothy Luria, the firm brings over 80 years of combined legal experience to the table. Located in the prestigious Harbor Court building in downtown Honolulu, the firm is known for its litigation prowess, successfully representing clients in contentious custody battles, complex asset divisions, and multi-jurisdictional disputes.
Specialized Family Practice
Kleintop & Luria LLP is not a generalist firm; they are specialists in the nuances of family court. Their practice areas cover the full spectrum of domestic relations:
- Complex Divorce: Expertise in high-net-worth cases involving business valuations, real estate portfolios, and hidden assets.
- Military Divorce: A deep understanding of the unique rules governing military retirement benefits (USFSPA), Survivor Benefit Plans (SBP), and custody issues for deployed service members.
- Child Custody and Support: Fighting for the best interests of children while protecting parental rights in both state and interstate proceedings.
- Pre- and Post-Marital Agreements: Drafting enforceable contracts that protect wealth and provide clarity for couples.
A Reputation for Excellence
The attorneys at Kleintop & Luria are consistently ranked among the best in their field. Both partners have been recognized by Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers, a testament to their peer-reviewed standing. While they are skilled negotiators who strive for amicable settlements, they are fundamentally trial lawyers. When settlement talks fail, they have the courtroom experience to litigate aggressively and effectively. The firm also offers mediation and arbitration services for parties seeking to resolve disputes outside of the public court system.
Serving a Diverse Community
Reflecting the multicultural fabric of Hawaii, the firm is equipped to assist a diverse clientele. They have capabilities to assist Japanese-speaking clients, ensuring that language barriers do not prevent access to top-tier legal representation. If you need to find a lawyer who can handle the complexities of a major divorce or hire an attorney to protect your military pension, Kleintop & Luria LLP is the firm that other lawyers often recommend.
