      "Best decision I have ever made."

      About a year ago I got charged with two charges. Open container as well as a DUI. At this moment I thought my career would be over. A few days later I spoke to Mr. O'Grady and made the decision to hire him as my lawyer to fight my case. Best decision I have ever made. Mr. O'Grady fought tirelessly and was relentless while fighting my case and eventually got both of my charges dropped. Another note, if you are in the military, he is very understanding and will work with you and your schedule. If you were in the same situation that I was in a year ago. Look no further into hiring Mr. O'Grady.

      "I had a great experience with Mr. O'Grady as my lawyer."

      I had a great experience with Mr. O'Grady as my lawyer. He and his staff kept me well informed throughout the process and helped me understand all the lawyer jargon. I had hired Mr. O'Grady for a DUI case and he successfully got the case dismissed and my record cleared. It is a very long process but Mr. O'Grady was very reassuring through it all. He is the one you want fighting for you!!

      "You can trust Mr. O'Grady to fight for you until he wins."

      Out one night with some friends, I made the unfortunate choice of getting a DUI. However, the best choice I made directly after that was hiring Mr. O'Grady. Not only was he able to accurately explain the situation, and possible outcomes, he kept me up to date during any changes in my case. I am fully confident that I would not have been able to handle the situation on my own, and I can tell you for sure that if you get a DUI in Hawaii, you can trust Mr. O'Grady to fight for you until he wins.

      I have sat down several times trying to write you a letter that would adequately express my gratitude for what you have done for me. After several attempts, I realize I fall short on expressing the relief and gratitude I am feeling. So I will simply say “Thank you so much for always treating me with respect and dignity.” Jack and I had the utmost confidence in you, and we are so grateful to be able to put this unpleasant matter behind us. You are a Master Attorney and a true gentleman.

      "In times when a lawyer is needed call Mr O'Grady Hire the best he is the man to see!"

      Mr O'Grady is the best! He got my DUI case dismissed I was on my medication and got arrested for DUI, because the medication that I was on gave a positive on the breath test. I'm 66 years old and my legs are not too strong to do the field test and I failed that so I got arrested. I went to see Mr O'Grady the following day after my arrest and explained to him what had happened, he assured me that he would handle my case. I would like to tell people that this is a lawyer that will fight for you and is well worth his fees. He will answer all of your calls and followup with you in regards to what is going on with your case. In times when a lawyer is needed call Mr O'Grady Hire the best he is the man to see!

      "I was found "Not Guilty" due to his relentless effort and skill."

      I am a US Army Officer who was pulled over and charged with DUI. When i first met Mr. O'Grady I asked him what he would do differently than the other lawyers I had talked to. He looked me in the eye and told me he would not settle, he would not plead me out, but he would fight. He kept his word and for nearly 2 years, through a 12 month deployment he fought. I was found "Not Guilty" due to his relentless effort and skill. I can't thank him or recommend him enough.

      "I would recommend Mr. O'Grady to anyone looking for a powerful advocate"

      Because the consequences of a DUI conviction could have dire consequences on my future, I wanted to be sure I was represented by an attorney who would fight to protect my rights at all costs. From the beginning Mr. O'Grady was able to work with me despite geographical differences. He and his staff promptly answered my many questions and were able to put my mind at ease through a very trying and anxiety provoking time. In the end, my case was dismissed with prejudice, never to be brought up again. There is little doubt in my mind that Mr. O'Grady's experience with the Hawaii Court System, his knowledge of the law, and his skills at trial all contributed to my favorable outcome. I would recommend Mr. O'Grady to anyone looking for a powerful advocate who will ensure that they have the best representation possible. Do yourself a favor and call him today.

      "He negotiated a deal with the prosecutor which benefited me tremendously."

      Mr. O'Grady has helped me on multiple occasions to avoid being steamrolled by the judicial system due to my ignorance of the law and the workings of the system. I had multiple traffic violations, including one carrying criminal charges which could have been very bad for my record, finances and family. He negotiated a deal with the prosecutor which benefited me tremendously. He also helped me walk away from a significant fine by using his expertise and rapport with the prosecutor and judge to negotiate a favorable outcome.

My situation was somewhat difficult and confusing, however Kevin O'Grady broke it down like a 12 gauge and I received my desired outcome… I would definitely encourage anyone to utilize this attorney, because I would hate to be going up against him! Job well done, and I can't thank you enough!

      "Mr. O'Grady got all my charges dismissed and I don't think I could have got it done with anyone else."

      I was involved in a DUI case with what I think was enough evidence to convict me. I called around to several lawyers and I didn't think the lawyers I was speaking with were quite confident enough or could help me after I gave them the details of my case. I called Mr. O'Grady's office and I spoke to him for about ten minutes and I knew I found the right person. Mr. O'Grady got all my charges dismissed and I don't think I could have got it done with anyone else.

      Mr. O’Grady’s knowledge and handling of my case was both professional and passionate. Through his hard work my case was dismissed and my career taken out of harm’s way. I plan on recommending him if any of my friends and family require the services of an attorney.

      Words cannot even begin to describe the level of gratitude I have for Attorney O'Grady and his expert staff. From the first moment I spoke with Attorney O'Grady, I felt as though I found someone who truly cared about me and my ordeal. Both he and his team treated me with the utmost respect and helped me retain the dignity the legal system tried so desperately to rob me of. I was never made to feel a criminal, but as a friend. Everyone involved in my case remained fully committed throughout the entire process from start to finish. I will always hold Attorney O'Grady in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone facing similar charges.

      Thank you so much for helping me out. Words cannot express my gratitude. These last few months before my DUI trial was set to begin have been very nerve-wracking, tense and a trying period for my family and I. To have my case dismissed this morning is like waking up from a living nightmare and setting foot in heaven! My job was suspended indefinitely because of these charges, but now I believe I can get my job back. I want to say to anybody out there who ever gets involved in an alleged dui case, I highly recommend that you contact attorney Kevin O'Grady and his team to help you out. This attorney helped me out in my dui case and got it dismissed! Thank you from my family and I.

I can honestly say, you kept me very high spirited and positive minded in and out of the court room. As you promised, my case was in fact dismissed, and I would recommend you over any lawyer any day to anyone who may face any legal issues.

      "I am so grateful to Mr. O'Grady, and for his countless hours of hard work and dedication to each and every one of his clients."

      I was charged with a DUI about a year ago, and hired Mr. O'Grady to be my attorney after searching online. Since this was my first DUI offense, I was so skeptical and scared to place my trust in someone who could either help my future or cause me to end up with the DUI permanently on my record. After the first phone call with Mr. O'Grady, I felt confident that he could do the job, and decided to hire him as my attorney. Believe me, this was the best decision I have ever made. Mr. O'Grady went above and beyond what I had expected from him as my attorney. He never missed a court day (even though he had to fly to a different island to represent me), he was always on time, and while in court, he basically made the prosecuting side look silly because he was always ready with evidence to support me. He is such an intelligent individual, and he was always professional and well-prepared for every court day, that I felt confident having him as my attorney. He fought for me until the end, when my DUI was permanently removed from my record. I am so grateful to Mr. O'Grady, and for his countless hours of hard work and dedication to each and every one of his clients. I could not have asked for a better attorney! Thank you Mr. O'Grady!! You have changed my life forever.

      So my case took awhile. Not at the fault of my lawyer Mr O'Grady though. I got a DUI while serving in the Marine corps. Mr O'Grady helped me won that case. I would recommend Mr O'Grady to any military member or any one struggling with a DUI.

      "Case Dismissed!"

      After receiving a DUI in Mililani, I contacted Mr. O'Grady and set up a consultation. I gave him the story of how it all happened and he told me that we would without any doubt plead not guilty. Mr. O'Grady immediately began building my case. His paralegals kept me informed about everything happening with my case throughout the entire year. In court, Mr. O'Grady is very straight forward and blunt about his cases. My case was dismissed with prejudice and I am convinced that the outcome would be totally different if I hadn't hired Mr. O'Grady. After my trial was over he immediately began talking to me about having the arrest expunged off of my record in the coming year. Overall, Mr. O'Grady was integral in having my case dismissed and I'm extremely satisfied with his office's service and helpfulness.

      I never had issues with law, and didn’t know how to choose an attorney. My husband found Mr. O’Grady for me, and my reputation and clean record were saved. Mr. O’Grady did an amazing job and charges against me were dismissed. What a relief! He represented me in court, and I was so happy to have Mr. O’Grady is my attorney. Mr. O’Grady is very professional, he is an expert in his field and does excellent work with wonderful results. He explains things in detail and his helpful staff keeps in touch via email and phone. My case was not a traffic case, so Mr. O’Grady is helpful and knowledgeable in other areas of law. Don’t hesitate to get some legal advice from Attorney O’Grady!

      "Thank you!"

      My son is at UH and got into a situation where we felt legal representation would be best. I researched counsel on line, interviewed two, and selected Mr. O'Grady. Although the violation was minor, the potential for longer term impacts was real (e.g., having to mark yes that you've been convicted of a crime on a future job application). What was most helpful was on our first call, Mr. O'Grady went through the details of the specific charges, the potential outcomes, and how he would prepare a multi-tiered strategy to garner the best result. There were subtleties that I would not have recognized or anticipated. To understand how cases like this are typically handled in Honolulu courts, and what the fallback strategies he would employ in the event that we didn't get an ideal outcome on the first attempt was really comforting. In the end, we did get the best case outcome on the first attempt. Also important was that I had some concern that such a minor offense wouldn't get the attention of the attorney, but I felt Mr. O'Grady treated us with as much attention as he would something more serious. I readily recommend Mr. O'Grady for legal representation. He served us well.
