Sae Mok Lee — Attorney in Honolulu, Hawaii

Sae's primary office is at BUILDING 5 Waterfront Plaza 500 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, HI, 96813. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new legal attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Sae usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Sae discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in legal practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Sae for a legal case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Sae walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Sae offer a free consultation?

  Sae charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Sae's office. Some legal attorneys offer free consults — check Sae's current terms during booking.

• How long do legal cases in Hawaii typically take?

  Simple legal matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Sae gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Sae take my case if I'm outside Honolulu?

  Sae is licensed in Hawaii. Matters governed by Hawaii law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Sae will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Sae?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Sae will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Sae accepting new legal clients right now?

  Sae's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
