DeVries & Associates

DeVries & Associates is a Hawaii law firm focused on real estate, business, probate and estate matters, dispute resolution, and litigation. The firm advises property owners, developers, contractors, businesses, property managers, condominium associations, and community boards on legal issues affecting property, governance, transactions, and commercial operations.

The firm's experience includes real estate acquisitions and sales, land use and title matters, subdivisions, zoning, easements, restrictive covenants, commercial leases, construction disputes, business contracts, corporate formalities, collections, and partnership or shareholder conflicts. When disputes arise, DeVries & Associates emphasizes strategic planning, negotiation, and alternative dispute resolution when appropriate, while also representing clients in Hawaii state and federal courts when litigation becomes necessary.

DeVries & Associates is led by founder and managing attorney Porter DeVries, who is licensed in Hawaii and New York. The firm presents a proactive, solution-focused service model designed to protect clients' property and business interests, simplify complex legal processes, and pursue practical outcomes rather than relying solely on traditional billable-hour approaches.
