  • Straight forward a pleasure to work with

    I need help with my divorce. Jeanilou Maschhoff advised me on my options and was very supportive. She was clear about what I could expect of her and was an excellent communicator. Jeanilou gave me time to process and was able to follow though with her stated timeframe. She is easy to talk to and realistic and trustworthy.

    I am so grateful for he help and services. Highly recommend her as an attorney and person.

  • Your Best Interest in Mind

    With my small business, I've worked with many lawyers over the years and always had a bad experience (i.e. they billed me 5x the initial quote without any warning during the process, they gave me incorrect advice so that I would pay for something unnecessary, etc.) Finally, I was referred to Jeanilou, and although I only met with her for a consultation, I could tell she cares about small businesses and what is best for the client. After spending hours reviewing our documents and speaking with us, she ended up advising us not to move forward with our case. She didn't take a retainer and there was no hidden bill. She also did not make me feel stupid for past mistakes or for not understanding something and rather took the time to listen to my concerns and then kindly explain the best solution.

    The only downside is that I wish I had found her sooner! Highly recommend!

  • Consultation with empathy

    Quote SourceMy husband and I reached out to Jeanilou for a consultation for a landlord-tenant rights issue we have found ourselves in. Jeanilou was incredibly empathetic, listened to our concerns, and offered some advice.

    We are truly grateful!

  • Excellent and clear advice

    Loved how Jeanilou was so warm and easy to talk to and gave me her best advice on how to move forward with my LLC operating agreement.

  • Highly recommended and exceeds expectations

    Description goes hereAs a non-native English speaker, Jeanilou has a way of explaining legal concepts that is simple to understand. I needed to leave my joint business between my partner and I, while also navigating additional factors such as my initial investment, company debt, and being a guarantor on the lease for our retail store. Without legal knowledge, I had a very narrow view of what I could do in this situation. Jeanilou drafted an agreement that provided a clean separation with a transfer of shares and removal from loans and lines of credit. She also added protections for me from potential future debt and default on debt repayment. The most helpful things Jeanilou did were to let me know that my situation wasn't as bad as I thought and provided me with several options that I didn't realize were available to me. I was able to talk through my options with her and come to an agreement that my former business partner and I could sign on to, while also satisfying my need for financial protection.

  • Extremely helpful and pleasant to work with!

    I had a consult call with Jeanilou and found her extremely helpful and specific in my questions regarding registering an LLC in Hawai'i. She was very generous in her legal counsel and super pleasant to have a conversation with! I'm so grateful I was referred to Jeanilou and am looking to sign onto her General Counsel Membership program.

  • Attentive to my questions & informative!

    Jeanilou is a breath of fresh air when it comes to legal information! She was very kind and warm during initial introductions, listened to my situation actively, and even pivoted her support to my additional questions throughout our discussion. I valued her insight into general information and HI-specific information regarding my concerns. Lastly, her warm personality made it all feel much more welcoming, and that my next steps weren't as daunting.

    Mahalo Jeanilou!

  • LOVE Jeanilou!

    I met with Jeanilou regarding wanting to dispute a contract I had signed with a business coach. It was a very sensitive matter for me. I was unclear about my rights and what kind of options I had for moving forward with my dispute. Jeanilou was so kind, validated my concerns and very clearly laid out some options for me. She was super generous with her time and knowledge and I left the meeting feeling informed and empowered.

    She is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her! Thank you, Jeanilou!

  • Made me feel safe and heard!

    I am looking forward to working with Jeanilou, she was very professional and caring. She is flexible and thoughtful too.

    I am excited to have such a wonderful person on my dream team!

  • Very Helpful

    Jeanilou was very helpful and informative. She answered all my questions and feel more comfortable navigating these crazy times.

    She’s also super sweet! Looking forward to working with her.

  • Amazing attorney and advocate

    Jeanilou is an amazing attorney and advocate. I give her my absolute highest recommendation. She guided me through my divorce with supreme kindness, skill, and efficiency. I had spoken with other attorneys and had left most of those interactions far more scared and intimidated by the legal situation I was in, and with the strong feeling that it was all about the money with these others. When I spoke with Jeanilou she was immediately so incredibly warm and kind. She knew the law forwards and backward and she was very comforting. The marriage was very bad and the position I found myself in felt completely trapped Jeanilou showed me that there was light at the end of the tunnel and guided me out of that horrible situation. She was incredibly skilled and graceful in how she helped me deal with my ex-wife. In the end, I was able to get all the terms that we had set as a reasonable goal for both me and my son, including custody arrangement and parenting time.

    I will forever be in Jeanilou’s debt.

  • The absolute best help with custom contract work.

    I'm starting up a record label and Jeanilou helped customize and tighten up the contracts I'll be using with my artists. She did an amazing job translating my requests about contract requirements and my non-standard business ideas to the page.

    She also helped with multiple revisions and walked me through the less accessible elements of contract law (I am a complete layman when it comes to nitty-gritty contract stuff). She even saved me time and money by combining two ideas I thought needed to be separate contracts into one.

    10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a lawyer, and plan on calling on her myself if and when I run into any law-related stuff in the future!

  • Jeanilou is the best!

    Let me start by saying that Jeanilou Grace is amazing! We have previous work history together but it’s been some time since I’ve connected with her.

    I recently started up my own small business last year and was looking for confirmation on some legal advice. When I reached out to Jeanilou, she was extremely prompt with an answer and allowed me to set up a phone consultation right away. She had a link that automatically took me to her booking site and made it that simple for me to get onto her schedule! Options like this really add value in my opinion.

    The next morning, Jeanilou called me exactly at 10am on the dot! The most sweetest & genuine voice ever. I admitted to her how clueless I was about getting my business insured and how to keep myself safe. Jeanilou took the time to explain some basic terms and answer all of my questions. She then offered to find me additional help/resources for my business.

    By the end of our call, I had so much more insight and relief! It felt as if I were just talking to a friend on the other line about business! Really appreciate Jeanilou for taking the time and being so sincere! 10/10 Recommend!

  • Jeanilou Maschhoff is the Lawyer you need AND want

    Jeanilou is such a pleasure to work with. I've had experience with a handful of lawyers and no one has made me feel as comfortable as Jeanilou. I was comfortable that she would execute the work appropriately and also personally comfortable in asking her any questions.

    I hired Jeanilou to review my Services Contract. She was very clear and detailed with her work. But that's also what is expected from a lawyer. Where she exceeded expectations was her client service. She went above and beyond to explain information in "non-lawyer language" and also guided my overall business needs. I felt like she treated my business and Service Contract with such care as if it were her own.

    Jeanilou is also just an awesome person, and I think we all appreciate working with someone we like (bonus that she's an amazing lawyer too!). As a female small business owner, in the past, I've felt intimidated by other lawyers. Jeanilou makes anything law-related less painful and I can't help but want to talk to her all day!

    I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended! Thank you, Jeanilou!
