"Why do people hire a particular lawyer? Out of love, fear or trust. Your mother may love you, your former opponents may fear you, but most clients decide based on trust. You have to earn that by doing, not talking."
Paul Alston has built a 40-year career based upon earning clients' trust in a wide range of complicated disputes. His primary practice areas include commercial litigation, antitrust law, civil rights, class actions, and appellate law. In 2009 he was named Hawai`i Lawyer of the Year in Bet-the-Company Litigation by Best Lawyers in America. Chambers USA quotes a client’s description of Alston as “three steps ahead of everyone else."
