Highly recommend! Foster Law Offices were very compassionate and responsive to our situation and especially towards my mom who was involved in a terrible car accident. Jeff and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable and respectful to our needs. Gen would even meet my mom at her car when arriving at the office so my mom didn't have to walk. They were able to resolve her case is just under a year and yet they continue to provide any help or assistance we might need. Thank you Foster Law Offices and Ohana we appreciate you.

I got hurt badly last year . Upon looking for an attourney I came across Jeffrey and Foster Law Offices. I am super greatful for the services prodived to me. Absolute intense and clear transparency of their proceedings, no wishy washy lawyer talk, straight up explained to me what my chances were and what i was looking at. He went the extra mile to get me exactly what I needed and there were no open ends, hidden fees, backdoors that would ruin my success in this case. After one year of fighting and hoping I can finally focus on recovery and rehabilitation because they won this case for me in the best way possible. They fought hard, worked hard and got a big win all around with no secret trip ups that might hit you afterwards. Can highly recommend Jeffrey and his team. Much Mahalo and Aloha.

My all-time favorite lawyer experience. Given the enormity of the problem, the 2018 Lava Flow and the lack of compliance of the insurance companies, Foster Law did an amazing job of recouping our losses. As a result of this experience, if I have any legal issues, I turn to Foster Law. They are trustworthy, easy to work with, and overall a high-value organization. From the beginning I had complete confidence in them.

We can’t say enough good things about Jeff Foster and everyone at Foster Law Offices. He came highly recommended to us, and from the very beginning, we understood why. When we needed help, Jeff was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process feel manageable during a really stressful time. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and supportive he and his team were. They took the time to explain every step, made sure we felt comfortable with every decision, and were always there to answer questions or simply offer reassurance. We never once felt rushed or overlooked—they truly went above and beyond to make us feel supported. Working with Jeff and his team gave us a real sense of confidence and peace of mind. We’re so grateful for their guidance and compassion throughout the entire experience. If you ever find yourself needing a lawyer after an auto accident, we wholeheartedly recommend Foster Law Offices.

While on vacation on the Big Island my husband sustained a traumatic brain injury in a bicycle/vehicle collision. Jeff made our personal injury litigation as painless as any such process could be. He skillfully applied his knowledge and experience helping us to achieve a fair resolution with our insurance company. We are grateful for his patience, support and empathy throughout the process and that of his team.. Should the need ever arise again we would not hesitate to engage his services. We would, without reservation, recommend him.

I can’t say enough good things about Jeff Foster and his amazing team at Foster Law Offices in Kailua-Kona. They were there for us during one of the hardest times in our lives, after my dad suffered a major injury. It was such an emotional and stressful time, but Jeff and his team guided us with so much care, compassion, and support. They made us feel heard, reassured, and taken care of every step of the way. Their kindness truly went a long way and helped ease so much of the stress we were carrying. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did for my dad and I.

Jeff and his team were wonderful. We are not from Hawaii, so when we found ourselves needing a lawyer while visiting we were at a loss. Never having a need for one and not being familiar with the area we were extremely overwhelmed. Jeff and his team eased our worries and kept us updated and informed throughout the entirety of the legal process. We were very lucky to have came across them during such a difficult time.

I unfortunately need to sue a residential of Hawaii while I live in another state. I reached out to a number of Big Island firms and the office staff at Mr. Foster's office was hands down the friendliest. They answered my call promptly, went to check if Mr. Foster handled my type of case, and called me back quickly as they said they would. Even though they informed me that Mr. Foster doesn't practice the type of law I need, the staff provided a good next step. While I hopefully will never find myself in a future situation where I do need to engage them, based on the customer service I received, I would not hesitate.

I cannot recommend Foster Law Offices highly enough. From the very first interaction, their team was professional, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. Understanding the legal aspects is very confusing. Jeff, Ryan and the rest of the team made it very easy. One of the things I appreciated most was how well they kept me informed throughout the entire process. I never felt left in the dark—every update, deadline, and next step was clearly communicated. They were always quick to respond to my questions and made sure I fully understood what was happening at each stage. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything in detail, and always made me feel like a priority. It’s rare to find a law firm that is so committed to both results and client experience. If you're looking for a firm that will go above and beyond for you, Foster Law Offices is the one to call. I highly recommend Foster Law Offices.

Aloha everyone. My situation was a delicate one. When I first met Jeff, I was just out of my initial stay at a rehabilitation hospital and about three weeks after awakening from coma. Even with a significant brain injury, I was able to determine that my circumstance required an attorney. Like most people, I had no idea where to turn. I found myself thumbing through a telephone directory and found a listing for local attorneys that somehow, I felt I knew. I vaguely remembered seeing their sign along the roadside each day as I passed. So, I called them. After several days and multiple attempts, the only person I spoke with was a receptionist. None of the attorneys at this firm even took the time to speak with me directly. Finally, the receptionist informed me that she had been told by the attorneys that they felt that they had no reason to speak with me. That there would be nothing to be gained by taking any legal action. I was, and still am, dumbfounded. The following day, the random idea came to my mind to call the Hawai’i state bar association, seeking a referral. I had spoken with a couple of attorneys on O’ahu (that at least bothered to speak with me) and was considering hiring one of them who was already talking about flying to the Big Island to meet with me. Then the referral from the bar association came and Jeff responded immediately to my call. After speaking over the phone, we set up a time to meet the following day. That was nearly four years ago. Choosing Jeff Foster has turned out to be one if the best decisions I have ever made. Most legal matters ended about a year ago. There were several, as there were several parties involved that could be, and were, held accountable in one way or another. All ended with negotiated settlements and did not evolve into a trial. Of course, I cannot divulge the size of these settlements, however, I think I can comfortably state that they were substantial. None of this would have happened were I to have accepted what I had been told by lawyers who communicated through a receptionist. Personal injury law is a well-structured game of sorts. Jeff Foster plays it very well. He may not be a canoe surfer, as some attorneys tell use on their websites, but he is an accomplished attorney. Don’t hesitate. Get Jeff involved. You won’t ever second guess your decision.

Highly recommended! After I was injured, Jeff helped me navigate an insurance settlement along with everything else that comes with a personal injury case. Given what he had to work with, Jeff helped me get a more than fair settlement from the other insurance company. Then he continued to negotiate with my insurance provider to minimize the amount I owed for my medical bills. I wish I had hired Jeff sooner! It would have protected me early in the situation and saved me tons of stress. Jeff and his office were a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for the best possible outcome from their personal injury.
