We can assist you or your business with almost any immigration issue, including:
Constantly-changing immigration laws and policies create unreasonable roadblocks that can tear families apart and prevent good employees from working in the U.S. To successfully advise you, we consider both the laws as they exist and the possibility for beneficial — as well as harmful — reforms. We stay current on shifts in immigration law and remain ready to act upon potential changes in the pipeline.
We view our work as a mission, not simply a job. We advocate for the administration of just immigration policy and the rights of individual immigrants. In their roles as Hawaii Chapter Chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), Maile M. Hirota and Stella Shimamoto have sought to influence policy that affects the immigrant community. Stella Shimamoto served as the Hawaii Chapter Chair of AILA for three years total and Maile for four years in total.
To best serve our clients, we offer legal services in English, Tagalog, Ilocano and Japanese.
