Biography

William Lawson, Accident Lawyer Hawaii, is a Christian personal injury attorney in the state of Hawaii and has been for over 30 years. He is a 1977 graduate of Stanford Law School at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. For more than 30 years he has represented and continues to represent people who have suffered serious loss from an accident which has some connection to Hawaii (eg. one or more of the parties is based in Hawaii, the accident occurred in Hawaii or one or more of the parties does business in Hawaii).

As a personal injury attorney in the state of Hawaii, Mr. Lawson has worked with both local and mainland firms as co-counsel. Mr. Lawson has worked side-by-side with other firms and also in a supervisory capacity using his many years of experience to guide the client to the appropriate resources. We have used arbitration, mediation and civil litigation- each at its proper time. Attorney William H. Lawson provides legal services in each area of need for a particular case - sometimes by bringing in other lawyers and law firms to assist us on the claims. Over the years Mr. Lawson has provided the individual communications and responsive contact that assures a client of personal attention while still providing high quality legal services even in complex and difficult cases.
