"Hawaiʻi's Lawyer"
Aloha, I’m Criminal Defense Attorney B. Kaleo Nacapoy. I grew up in Heʻeia, Oʻahu and graduated from the Kamehameha Schools in 2004, the University of Hawaiʻi with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Hawaiian Language in 2008, and the William S. Richardson School of Law in 2012 with my Juris Doctorate (JD) degree. For over a decade, I have defended clients throughout the islands that faced a variety of crimes and traffic offenses.
My practice is based on the principle: "zealously defend every client within the bounds of the law and lead with integrity and respect." When your job, license, or reputation is at stake, I'll represent you with respect and a well-crafted legal defense.
I have helped hundreds of clients over the years in our district and circuit courts throughout the islands overcome their cases or reduce negative consequences. Whether it’s arguing for a dismissal, negotiating a sentence reduction, or representing you in trial, my goal is to protect your record and your future.
As a native Hawaiian, I value Hawaiʻi’s traditions and also am fluent in the Hawaiian language. I know how important our "community mindset" is and understand that people deserve a second chance. A common misconception is that all alleged criminals are "guilty" or "bad people" however, that is simply NOT true. Everyone accused deserves "their day in court" and we will search for the truth together.
My experience as a local business owner and serial entrepreneur in other arenas gave me real world experience and insight that brings a unique advantage in the courtroom. I don't look at obstacles as a hurdle but rather an opportunity to insight change.
If you’ve been charged, cited, or don't know where to begin, I am here for you and a Free Consult away! Don't hesitate and please contact me in your time of need.
