Matthew A. Sylva

Born and raised in Hawaiʻi, and living in Kona for most of my life, I’m intimately familiar with the unique dynamics that exist here on Big Island and across Hawaiʻi. That gives me a distinct advantage in understanding both your circumstances and how the facts of your case may play out in court.

After graduating from the William S. Richardson School of Law, I worked for the Hawaiʻi Public Defender’s Office with experience handling almost every type of case at that office. I’ve taken over 100 cases to trial and/or motion hearing and worked out favorable settlements for many more.
