New Legal Representation Steps

Summary

To inform the court and opposing counsel about new legal representation, ensure your new attorney files a Notice of Appearance. If you dont have an attorney before your deposition, you can request a postponement by filing a Motion to Continue or represent yourself by filing a Notice of Pro Se Representation. In Honolulu, Hawaii, these forms are available on the Hawaii State Judiciarys website or at the court clerks office. For personal injury depositions, be prepared to discuss the accident, your injuries, and the impact on your daily life. If your lease doesnt specify utility cost calculations, contact your landlord or AOAO for clarification. For tenant rights issues, contact the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii at (808) 536-4302.
