Law Office of Daniel Kawamoto | Criminal Defense and DUI Representation in Honolulu (h1)
The Law Office of Daniel Kawamoto is located at 201 Merchant Street, Suite 2240, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, and represents clients throughout Oahu in criminal matters ranging from traffic infractions to felony charges. The office can be reached at (808) 377-0644. Daniel Kawamoto is a native of Oahu who spent part of his childhood in Seoul, South Korea, and returned home to build a practice focused on defending people who live and work in the community he grew up in.
The firm’s practice centers on DUI defense, traffic offenses such as excessive speeding, racing, reckless driving, and fleeing the scene, temporary restraining order matters, and criminal defense spanning the spectrum from minor infractions to Class A felonies. Kawamoto graduated from Punahou School before earning his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and his Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego. Before entering private practice, he clerked for the Honorable Karl K. Sakamoto, worked as a prosecutor with the Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney, and later practiced alongside criminal defense attorney Paul J. Cunney, giving him experience on both sides of the criminal justice system.
Kawamoto is admitted to practice in both Hawaii and California and has represented hundreds of clients charged with criminal offenses, with a track record that includes documented dismissals and reduced charges. Client feedback reflects this focus on practical outcomes, including cases where excessive speeding charges were negotiated down to standard traffic violations. That combination of prosecutorial background and dual-state bar admission continues to inform his approach to defending clients across Honolulu.
