Since beginning his legal practice in 2014, he has focused on helping clients safeguard their assets and loved ones from unnecessary conflict. His approach centers on accessibility and compassion, ensuring families feel supported at every step.

Keoni earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawaiʻi before continuing his studies at the University of San Francisco. There, he achieved both a Juris Doctor and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), equipping him with a strong foundation in both law and business. This combination allows him to approach estate planning with legal knowledge reinforced by strategic, practical insight.

Keoni’s professional background spans both government service and private practice, where he gained experience before numerous Circuit Court judges. These early roles highlighted the gaps families face when legal planning is absent, motivating him to build a practice designed to close those gaps.
