Damir Kouliev

Damir Kouliev is a Hawaii attorney and founder of 808 Attorney, Inc., serving statewide clients through a private practice with offices and services across multiple islands. His work focuses on practical representation for individuals facing criminal charges, DUI matters, traffic issues, family disputes, estate planning concerns, real estate questions, and landlord-tenant conflicts.

Damir’s educational background includes study at Reed College, Golden Gate University, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the William S. Richardson School of Law. He earned his J.D. from Golden Gate University in 2007, with honors including the Witkin Award, Dean’s List recognition, and an Environmental Law Certificate with Distinction. After admission to the Hawaii bar in 2007, he opened a solo practice on the Big Island, representing clients from Hilo to Kona. His early work emphasized accessible service, careful review, and direct guidance for clients facing urgent legal challenges.

Damir’s practice later expanded to Maui, where he became active in the Maui County Bar Association, serving as vice president in 2019 and president in 2020. He also helped spearhead the Maui Self-Help Center, providing guidance for unrepresented parties who needed clearer direction in the legal system and support. In criminal, DUI, traffic, and suspended-license matters, he works to help clients understand the allegations, possible consequences, and available options. He provides prepared, affordable, and responsive guidance during serious legal proceedings.

Damir Kouliev’s family law work includes divorce, custody, child support, paternity, adoption, restraining orders, and related domestic matters. He helps clients navigate emotionally difficult transitions with practical advice, clear explanations, and a focus on protecting rights, preserving stability, and pursuing workable solutions through negotiation or, when necessary, in court over time. Beyond litigation, his general practice includes estate planning, guardianship, health care directives, trusts, wills, real estate, and landlord-tenant concerns. By combining legal analysis with patient consultation, he assists clients in organizing their decisions, addressing disputes, and moving forward with greater confidence when legal problems affect their homes, families, futures, or assets.
