Aloha kakou. - Welcome to our Web site.
Pitluck Kido Stone & Aipa, LLP is a small legal firm --
deliberately. We are organized in a
fashion to accommodate the most complex legal matter without involving a
multitude of attorneys.
The firm was established in
1980, when Wayne M. Pitluck opened his own law offices in the historic
Alexander & Baldwin Building. The
new office sought to put into effect all of the life and professional
experiences which Wayne and his then associate, Thomas K. Kaulukukui, Jr.,
believed essential to the practice of law. The firm restricted its practice to the fields of business, real estate, and antitrust law, with an emphasis on risk reduction, i.e., how to minimize the risk of exposure to liability. In 1983, the Law Offices of Wayne Marshall Pitluck proudly became the law
partnership of Pitluck & Kaulukukui.
In 1988, Tom Kaulukukui became
Governor John Waihee's first judicial appointment and Tom left the firm to
become Judge of the First Circuit of the State of Hawaii. Today, with the addition of three more
partners, Alan T. Kido, James M. K. Stone, Jr. and Nathan T. K. Aipa, Pitluck Kido Stone & Aipa, LLP continues to emphasize those
elements upon which the practice began in 1980, and continues to offer services
in business, real estate, estate planning, and alternative dispute resolution.
 From its earliest inception, our
firm's attorneys and staff have come from varied personal and professional backgrounds
and life experience. In the aggregate,
we have been attorney for the Federal Trade Commission, general counsel to a large charitable trust, Assistant General
Counsel for a New York Stock Exchange listed company, criminal prosecutor, and
we have been associates, partners, and founders of both small and large law
firms in Hawaii and on the mainland. Currently, we have incorporated the best of each of our talents to
enhance our practice of law, and to provide creative and personalized service
to our clients.
The firm has always made its
home in historic buildings in Honolulu and is presently in a
unique space of
its own design in The Dillingham Transportation Building on the corner of Bishop Street and Ala Moana Blvd. in downtown Honolulu. |
