Representation from a former Prosecutor.

“With 24 years of litigation experience spanning from murder to OVI, I have the knowledge, determination, and expertise to provide your best defense. Having spent four years as a prosecutor, I know how law enforcement operates. As a private defense attorney, I focus my practice on impaired driving (OVI) and criminal cases. I seek out cutting-edge defenses and won’t settle on the easiest or quickest resolution. My goal is to reach the best possible outcome for you.” – Nathan Akamine

Being charged with a crime is an intimidating experience; seeing the flashing lights of a police cruiser behind you, hearing the words “You are under arrest”, and feeling the cold handcuffs clicking around your wrists.

I know that you have questions.

Will I go to jail?
Will I lose my job?
Will I be able to care for my family both emotionally and financially?

Mistakes and misunderstandings can happen to anyone. Hiring the right defense lawyer is vital.

“My husband was facing serious jail time because of his prior DUI cases. Mr. Akamine encouraged him to get the help he needed in a treatment program and convinced the Prosecutor and Judge to allow him to do house arrest instead of jail. We can’t thank you enough sir.”

–Amy and John K.

“I didn’t hire a lawyer for my first DUI. That was a mistake. Mr. Akamine goes above and beyond. Lawyer of the year in my option. I’ll never go anywhere else for my legal issues.”
