Law Office of Timothy E. Rakieten | Criminal Defense Attorney in Honolulu, HI (h1)
The Law Office of Timothy E. Rakieten is a solo criminal defense practice serving clients across Oahu, Hawaii, with attorney Timothy E. Rakieten handling cases in Honolulu’s District, Family, and Circuit Courts. The office can be reached at (808) 429-5195. Rakieten brings more than 30 years of trial experience to his practice, having spent approximately 12 years as a Deputy Public Defender before opening his own firm in 2003. That background in public defense shapes how he approaches new clients, with an emphasis on courtroom-tested judgment built from handling a high volume of cases across Oahu’s court system.
Rakieten’s practice covers the full range of criminal matters, from misdemeanors to felonies, along with traffic offenses and restraining order cases, whether he is defending a client against one or petitioning to obtain one on a client’s behalf. He describes himself as “a warrior for justice and a warrior against injustice,” and frames his role as fighting for a client’s rights, reputation, and liberty at every stage of a case. That philosophy reflects a practice built around individualized attention rather than volume-driven case processing, with each matter handled personally rather than passed among associates.
As a solo practitioner with three decades in Honolulu’s courts, Rakieten has built his reputation on longevity and direct courtroom experience rather than published awards or ratings, and his standing in the local defense bar rests on that sustained track record defending clients across Oahu.
