Home: Practice Areas: What if you don't live on Maui

At Ison and Rome, L.L.C., we can represent people charged with crimes other than a felony on Maui, even if they reside outside the jurisdiction and are not planning to return for their hearing. This arrangement comes from HRS Rule 43(d)1 of Hawai’i Rules of Penal Procedure.  These rules require a written submission of a waiver of presence and a change of plea form.  The Attorneys at Ison and Rome can help you through negations, settlements and the paperwork required, so you don’t have to spend the money to fly back.  You would only have to appear in the jurisdiction if the case was to go to trial.

Every criminal charge is serious, and can affect you in unexpected ways if not resolved properly.  If charged with a crime, you should contact an attorney immediately.  Please call us to schedule a time for a FREE consultation at (808) 249-0088.
