HDLS provides attorney representation in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, the CNMI, and the Pacific region for Veterans, Social Security, and SSI Disability benefits.
On Big Island, we travel to Ocean View, Hilo, Hawi, and elsewhere to meet our clients, so our office is by appointment only. We appeal at all levels, including after you are turned down at a Social Security hearing and before the Board of Veterans Appeals.
We do not get paid until we win, and we will never send you a bill. We are paid 20% to 25% or less of your backpay from VA or Social Security. Where possible, we ask Social Security and VA pay the entire attorney fee, so nothing comes from your backpay.

I highly recommend Diane C. Haar for Social Security Disability legal needs. I came to her at my lowest point with no hope left and completely overwhelmed. I had been denied two times already for disability benefits and knew I needed to hire someone. Diane and everyone in her practice were always friendly and helpful. Anytime I had questions they immediately answered them, made things easy for me and helped ease some of the stress. Diane is one of the most caring professionals and sympathetic legal people I have ever worked with. She helped direct and compile the evidence I needed to present to the court, she worked diligently and remembered all the details of my very complicated medical issues. Diane strongly defended my case with genuine care and accuracy. We won the case. I will forever be grateful to her for not only giving me hope in my darkest hours but for using her talents to achieve this success. Mahalo nui loa.

After I was denied with my initial application for SSDI, I contacted Diane for help with the appeal. John set me up, Diane took on my case, and Heidi moved it along. About 10% of people who appeal an initial denial are approved at the Reconsideration level. 10%. But with the help of HDLS I was APPROVED! Many many mahalos to everyone in the office and especially to those involved with my case and the approval!!

Diane C. Haar has a wonderful team, very comprehensive, very prepared. We had social security disability case. The office is professional and prompt in all of the responses. The process went from being frustrating and confusing when I was doing it on my own to straightforward and although it still took a long time, the Attorney and her team was completely supportive, knowledgeable and well informed. We were completely supported all along the way. They are very good at screening the case and they are very honest whether or not the case has merit. Even afterward, when I had questions the office staff was there to answer questions and help with the bureaucracy.
